A commenter on my video said my voice sounded like a dying fax machine so I took vocal lessons for 3 months.

Turns out I was speaking from my throat instead of my diaphragm and now I actually get people watching past the first 10 seconds - has anyone else had to unlearn a bad speaking habit from internet feedback?

Got that throat thing too. Did you ever record yourself and cringe so hard you wanted to delete everything you ever made? Cause that was me lol. My main issue was I talked way too fast, like I was trying to finish my thoughts before the listener's brain caught up. What tipped you off that you were using your diaphragm wrong, was it a specific exercise or just trial and error?

Went from sounding like a dial-up modem to a human in just a few months, huge upgrade honestly. I had the same problem where I'd talk from my throat and it sounded like I was whisper-shouting into a tin can. Now I just gotta work on not saying "um" every three seconds lol.
