Online friend wants to talk to me..
Maybe after hearing me, he'll never chat with me again, because it's so weird. also. my mom's at home, and how embarrassing would that be, if she listens to me, talking to strangers. |

Just talk to him. What's there to lose? If he doesn't want to talk to you again, then you'll be in the same situation you're in now. But on the other hand, maybe you'll both enjoy the conversation.
Go for it

Check out some voices in this thread. A lot of people are worried about their own voice, but I think it's mostly because they don't hear themselves often. I also don't like my voice very much... but it's the only one I have so I might as well get used to it (and to my weird accent). If you're worried your mother will hear you, just tell her you're talking to someone from school. Being sure you kind of know who you're talking to would be useful too.

a) your voice probably doesn't sound "weird"
b) if he hates you because of your voice, you don't want to be dealing with him anyway |

I know what you mean about not liking your voice, but it's not as big of a deal as we think in our heads... I highly doubt he would stop talking to you because of your voice (which I'm sure is perfectly fine
 ), and if he does, well you don't want a friend like that anyway.

I once recorded a video for a friend in a different time zone and as I was chatting away my father walked in and started laughing, realizing I was talking to the computer and not even to someone directly! Oh I just about died.
 Just be sure you're home alone!She thought the video was hilarious though.

just go for it!! Just make sure he is not some creepy guy or something. If you are worried about your mom hearing you.... not that i condone to this but tell her its just a girl that you met on the web and have the same music intrest, if she knows about your sa she should understand and if she does not then it wont even seem weird

I've spoken to online friends via Skype, nothing has changed I am not confident about my voice either but no one notices or says anything. I would say go for it, I am sure he wont care.

It might help to let him know ahead of time that talking live makes you nervous. That way he can understand why you aren't talking much and not think that YOU don't like HIM. And if he won't understand then it's not a big loss anyway.

Maybe he'll like your voice or won't even care what it sounds like because he would rather get to know you.

I know how you feel...I hate my voice too. I always get really nervous talking to someone on the phone for the first time because of it. Plus I (apparently) have a heavy "California girl" accent, which some people find annoying (or so I've heard).
But I agree with what everyone else has said so far....go for it anyway!!

Any particular reason you don't like your voice? Or is this just typical SA insecurity where one feels insecure about basically every aspect of themselves without any good reason?
I'm reasonably secure about my voice. I think it's quite ordinary. I'm a 37-year-old guy and that's what I sound like. I have a generic American accent, typical of Wisconsin residents who tend to have the "accent from nowhere."
