Do people tell you that you talk too loud and it bothers you? Do you feel insecure about the sound of your voice? Your voice has many aspects and one of them is volume. If you find yourself being the object of other people's gaze in public places because you speak too loudly, this is the article for you.
Steps
Step 1. Listen to yourself when you speak
It may seem strange to you, but it is very important. It can be difficult and you can lose focus on what you are saying; people may notice a difference in the way you behave, but you will get used to listening to yourself. If you find it useful, you can record yourself speaking and listen to yourself again.
Step 2. Find out how many you speak loudly
Ask your friends or find out by listening to yourself; try to understand if you speak just a little too loud or if you also scream when you speak softly.
Step 3. Try to speak really quietly for a day
And that really means, without squealing. You may seem a little odd and others will ask you to repeat what you said, but it will be helpful.
Step 4. Instead of raising your voice to speak to someone who is far away from you (for example in another room in the house), go to the other person and speak to them at a volume appropriate for the distance you are
Step 5. Talk less
It can be difficult for someone, but when you are about to say something, ask yourself if you really need to say it. You don't have to drastically cut the time you spend talking, just cut out some unnecessary exchange.
Step 6. Ask your friends and family if you are making progress
If they comment on how quiet you are, you have succeeded. If you try to always think about speaking in a lower voice, you will soon be able to do it without having to think about it anymore.
Advice
