In my ears, my speaking voice is deep, though in truth it's just low. The louder I speak, the higher the pitch. In my head, my voice sounds like what I'd expect it to be at this point if I'd been male: deep, gruff. I try to speak that way, but it doesn't always work, only sometimes. This is one of the reasons I keep my counsel as much as possible, and don't open my mouth with strangers unless it's absolutely necessary. Unfortunately it almost always is... *sigh*
