#voice volume

[vizthedatum]

serious question about voice volume from a traumatized, autistic person

I don't know if this has happened to other people or not. Most of my friends are autistic and/or neurodivergent so we are all somewhat aware that the modulation/volume of our voice can go up and down.

My voice is typically soft to moderate and high-pitched. I can get loud, but I think I can usually tell when I do.

I know it's happened to me and a couple of people - and we usually kindly inform the other, if there is an issue (like it's late and people are trying to sleep or something). It's never been a huge problem.

However, there's been this behavior from two of my exes (including my ex-spouse) when I've tried to advocate for myself or been passionate about a topic... they've looked really upset and told me:

"You're screaming."

It has always taken me aback because, in those moments, I've reflected and didn't intend to scream or even think I was screaming. It always leaves me confused and uncertain... and I lose my train of thought.

They don't really mention my voice going up most other times when I know I'm screaming.

It's possible that the volume of my voice did go up during those times - I don't know for sure, but I don't think so.

Later on, in reflection, I realized it was possibly a way for them to shut me up when I was saying something they didn't like... or if they were embarrassed by me in public.

Have people pointed out to you that you're screaming, and you didn't think you were?

I commute to class and there's usually this one guard stationed at the entrance to the train station I go through. We are homies. She barely even checks my bag at this point she just taps it with her stick and smiles at me. I think she has my class schedule memorized. One time she asked me for help giving directions to an old Chinese man, and then after I translated a little bit, she waved me away after realizing I was late for class. When I come home late from night classes, she's usually off her post and on her way home and we wave at each other when passing by on the platform

Whumpee losing their voice to screaming, unable to answer Whumper or beg them to stop. The only sounds they can make now are quiet gasps and high, broken whimpers.

There's something so haunting about the look of utter horror on Arthur's face as Dutch drowned Bronte right in front of him, the full shot just hurts

Arthur was looking up in horror, John was looking down in disappointment

The two sons stood, watching their mentor pursue revenge they couldn't afford.

There's something divine in Joey Batey's voice. He's an amazing singer, but he doesn't just sing... he growls, he murmurs, he whispers, he screams. He let's his voice get so breathless then he INHALES. Audibly. There's something SO INTIMATE about hearing him take a breath between lines of lyrics. I get breathless when he does, and if it weren't for him taking that breath I might forget how to. I'm so often gasping at the end of his songs.

modern day action jrpgs are over-voice acted as fuck. the characters are always saying 5 lines of dialogue post battle and shit or yelling their attacks too loudly/nonstop. who wants to hear that if you have to grind or farm stuff long term later. quiet down omg

I spent all my tv time watching the episodes that noritoshi appeared in over and over again literally squealing and kicking my feet whenever noritoshi is on screen that my family is just sick of my shit

Noritoshi scolding abt using indoor voices...... swoons....... He would be so orderly and nagging abt it too... uwaa....... coughs

you and me both, bro. The way Noritoshi presents himself with such grace and stoism is so fucking beautiful, even my ancestors possess me to let out their shock. the way his type of character talks, too, with formalities and like he has an image to uphold... HOW CAN YOU NOT YELL AT THAT. Not only that, but he's so... flowy.... from his clothes to his hair and the way he uses his bow in the fight scenes..

the fight scenes served hella cunt. I love shonen sm. Noritoshi fight scenes are so good.... but stop fucking giving him concussions @ gege

Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother. Cucurucho: What. Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.

Here's Cucurucho and Oscurucho's long lore conversation from yesterday! The entire conversation lasted about 8 minutes, but most of that time was just silence between each exchange, so I edited out the long pauses and got it down to ~3 minutes. I also fixed the audio levels and added subtitles since I personally find it difficult to understand Oscurucho sometimes :'D

I hope folks find this helpful!

Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother.

Cucurucho: What.

Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.

[They enter Cucurucho's office]

Oscurucho: I wanted to see if you're still as rigid in your beliefs as ever. You see, I've been thinking about our... Let's call it "philosophical divergence." You stand for order, for predictability. But where's the fun in that? You see, brother, while you build, I ponder the beauty in tearing down. It's not just destruction - it's rebirth. A chance to remake things in a more... thrilling image.

[...]

Oscurucho: You once had a backbone for our cause. Now, I see a softness in you, a sentimental weakness for those Eggs. Mere experiments, and yet - they've softened you.

Cucurucho: Your vision obstructs the path to perfection. You fail to understand the potential of the Eggs.

Oscurucho: Potential? They're but catalysts for change - for revolution. Without them, stagnation reigns.

[...]

Oscurucho: You chase perfection, I embrace the beauty of flaws. Your world is one of order, mine thrives in chaos. You wish for everything to run smoothly, I dream of watching it all burn to the ground. We may share a name, but our souls are worlds apart. All your efforts, all for what? Mere acknowledgment from a Duck who told you to do it? Imagine the possibilities - rather, show me where it is, and I'll do the rest.

[...]

Oscurucho: Speaking of possibilities, I couldn't help but notice how easily others can access the island. It seems your security measures aren't as impenetrable as you think.

Cucurucho: No. My island's vulnerabilities are of your own making. Do not mistake restraint for ignorance.

Oscurucho: Pity. But then again, I never really needed your approval. Just consider: Cucurucho - in your quest for order, have you not sown the seeds of your own undoing? Do you genuinely trust all your Federation minions?

Cucurucho: ...

Oscurucho: Perhaps it's time you question not just my intentions, but those who you believe stand with you.

Cucurucho: That is none of your business, I shall say. Now, leave me alone and try to disturb someone else.
