Any ideas on practicing what tone of voice to use based on one's own everyday voice?

[Saga Not Saga]

Hi.  Every Saturday i head to a local mall to see if it can meet someone for the purposes of dating or at least making friends.  I've been doing so for a long time, but recently over the last week or two plundered the prospect of one recording his or her own voice as a means of practicing introducing oneself.

I wanted to know if anyone could point me in the right direction since ones own voice plays a massive role in his or her personality.   Not just introducing oneself.  Infact getting in the habit of adapting a new common voice tone should influence ones of personality i guess.

Going to the mall to make friends or ask people out on dates.

Is this a thing?

More or less I moved to my own place back in 2022.  As an Otaku with a fondage for anime I see alot of anime folks there so I swing by there every Saturday(where its most busy).  

 

I opened the topic since I think ones own voice means having yo discover how one plays towards his or her own strengths. I just down know how.

What's wrong with your voice? Your voice is yours it's in your dna but maybe the problem is your tone? Your confidence?

If this thread is real you would probably get better advice from other people who are big anime fans then those who aren't. A lot of times the people who are real big into anime have a lot different life interests and they aren't real compatible (nor understood) by people who aren't into anime.

Possible.  And yes this thread is indeed real.  Just want to learn as much as I can.  Introductions do play a role in whether or not someone would give someone else a shot.  Not just what interests are compatible.

Well, common interests are the context for meeting in the first place. For instance, if the mall is hosting an Anime event, then you'd have an opening for discussion about that, as opposed to just walking up to strangers shopping in a mall to introduce yourself. That's more likely to creep people out and make them defensive against whatever they think you're trying to sell, no matter what your voice sounds like.

Pursue hobbies or causes that interest you, and you'll form friendships organically through that repeated exposure.

Interesting way of putting it.

Are you in Japan, OP? 

Cultural differences are an important factor to take into consideration here as well.

(Chuckles), nope.  I myself just love Otaku culture.  Good guess though.

Isn't there chat rooms, sites for this? What about events? I know where I live there is always something going on. When I come back from downtown I see them on the skytrain all dressed up...some fits are really cute...it looks like fun.

There are chat rooms, but chances are it's likely gonna be someone i'm meeting far away from where I live.  I've tried my hand at dating sites, but my luck has been limited.  All too often I get scammers.  I'm open to recommendations if you know any.

Well my suggestion is, is to relocate to where all the action is. Young people should be in a busy city with lots going on, lots of people to meet, and more accessibility to meet people with your interests....or at least closer to one.
