If it weren't for my cat, it would honestly be weeks without any speech. But she needs to be told she's sweet and perfect.

Not sure, but it was during covid. I remember the first few hangouts with my buddies left my throat sore as shit the next day. And not because of that, you wish.
Im bout the loudest person I know, probably never been completely quiet more than an hour or two of my waking life.
I talk to myself pretty often, so no more than a couple of hours.
I thought about this, I think its impossible for me. Especially because I'd be talking to my dogs or cat, or I'd be singing. The longest, not including sleeping, is probably like 3 hours.
I think my record is about the same, about 2 or 3 days. Makes for a cool voice afterwards.
I could probably go for quite some time if I was all alone, but eventually I would speak out loud while thinking about a conversation I'll probably never have.
Not very long, I usually make sounds while thinking
I feel like your voice is sort of a use-it-or-lose it type of thing. Even by "nobody likes the sound of their own voice" standards, my voice is objectively very unpleasant. But since I started using it less and less, it became even more nasal, more hoarse and even more high-pitched.
I just really don't have a lot reasons to speak, neither do I really want them. I think everything I say throughout the entire week fits on a single sheets of paper. Which sucks when I inevitable do have to hold a meeting or presentation, and I permanently sound like I got a lump in my throat. I have a coworker who's voice literally sounds like nails on a chalkboard, it's unbearable and I feel like mine is not far removed from that.
I really envy people that have a nice crispy deep voice or a beautiful singing voice. I feel like your voice carries way more power and attractiveness than your physical appearance despite being the hardest to significantly influence.
Yes its partially genetic and your health, but good voices come from training. All those celebs and ted talk people? They had years of voice training. Its very rare someone naturally has a perfect speaking or singing voice with zero training. this stupid Internet age makes everyone think everyone else is better than them with zero effort.
I doubt your voice is as bad as you think. And actually, not using your voice gives it a rest. Many vocalists actually dont talk at all on show days to preserve their voice for the show.
Even if your voice is annoying, your cadence and delivery can be changed with training. If youre likeable, your voice can be annoying as fuck and it wont matter.
I talk to myself a lot, and I also use Siri a lot. Not to mention how much I talk to my cat.…
Now, I may go several days without interacting with another person… but I eventually have to go out and buy cigarettes.
yea, about 2 and half for me too over a weekend. Couldn't get the whole 3 days even on long weekends because I would go out with friends over that weekend.
