[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 617296, member: 7170"] I had a similar issues come up with person at work years ago, she was great worker but phone voice would make me cringe. (very high pitch and loud) Not sure if this would work for you but what I did was got her to leave a bunch of info (catalog sale) on a voicemail at my house then listened to that voicemail at work, writing down the orders on my lunch hour. She noticed the receiver laying on my desk but acting like a speaker phone, yes she was that loud. When she heard her voice her eyes got big and response was "OMG do I really sound like that on the phone?" After that she did make an effort to soften her tone (got rid of the squeek) and not be so loud. It improved life for her co workers and our clients. With a Special Education teacher I would tape record an IEP meeting and figure out a way to get her to listen to tape, like playing a select part of it and asking about if that service etc. was what she was referring to. Often unless they hear it they are clueless to what it sounds like on the other end. Another woman I went to college with took a course at Spec Howards (broadcasting school) to help fix her voice. She was going into a profession where speaking voice was important and growing up in Detroit was speaking (probably spelling it wrong) ebonics. Hope there is something in here that helps.
