You sound like a bus wishing it had no ads on its sides. “Sometimes, I just want to take people from point A to point B, without telling people what TV show to watch.” Try thinking of your ability to modulate your voice as a talent rather than a coping mechanism. Semiotics is a thing, and how your voice sounds is a communications choice, if you have the wherewithal to make it so. If you’ve got a tone that makes “These are not the droids you’re looking for” stick, you’re ahead of the game. As the bumper sticker says, a challenge is just an opportunity in work clothes. The voice thing is right there in the tool belt, right next to the vaginal wrench.
