Well, there are three effective ways to change your voice:
 
 
1. Chain smoking;
2. Heavy drinking;
3. Become an US army drill sergeant.
 
 
I don't think that any of these sound all that enticing, though. To be honest, fam... Embrace your voice. I was discussing it with the dudes on the discord the other day. I thought you sounded like a bootleg Slick Rick and someone else thought you sound like Shock G. It's not even a diss, just an observation.
 
My voice fam, major shit. When I recorded a lifetime ago I had to give my everything to not sound nasal and I still sound nasal on some tracks at times. Can't help it. I slur my words a bit too, can't help that either. Just accept it and try to build your style around it. Pac slurred his words worse than I do. He had to re-record certain parts of his verses just because of that and there are more artists like this, man. Don't worry about it.
 
I think your biggest problem at this moment is doubting yourself based on some feedback you got and that brings forth frustration. Don't focus on the negatives, but focus on the positives. When I say you sound like bootleg Slick Rick that can mean two things. 1) You sound like a Slick Rick wannabe (which I don't think) or 2) You have a unique voice that reminds me a bit of Slick Rick (Which I do think).
 
 
 
 
Tl;dr: Don't worry about your voice, be confident about your skillset.

Flame my brother, im gonna kinda echo the other feedback thread. people come in with preset expectactions and the thought process of "ok..time to be overly critical!!"


had Kendrick Lamar who is easily one of..if not the most loved rapper of today had posted his shit without being "Kendrick"..he'dda got alot of voice shit too. "flow cool..lyrics ok..but you sound like a robot alien."


dont worry about "changing" your voice. just focus on growing your skills bro. your voice will change on its own. if I posted a track I did when I was 16.. youd be like who the fuck is this tho?!?!


the internet is a fickle place.. in the words of the homie Dont-Apply-Oil-With-Otters.. the "prissy ass poets" sometimes be on one. just look for the useful info.. and nevermind the shit you cant change.. like your voice. be you and everyone whos gonna rock with you will. you got this bro. youll only get better.

how you deliver that spoken voice and at what pitch,I agree with Endeez

Writing about shit that you genuinely feel and believe will help as well.
