    Well, If you really want your voice roasted: You sound like a feminine Winnie the Pooh.

    Genuinely the voice isn’t that bad. You sound like a cartoon character, but a feminine one! I think you’re not too far off from having a really nice sounding voice.

    I love the enunciation. There’s an elegance and poise to the consonants that I wish I could do myself.

    It does however sound inauthentic, mostly in the tone and pitch. The tone is thin, and the pitch range is really compressed. You seem to be speaking as high as possible constantly, so you have no room to raise and lower your pitch during phrases.

    Women’s voices are way lower than many people realize. Your recording is pretty illustrative of why most literature on voice training stress the importance of resonance over pitch.

    You have a very soothing and kind sounding voice, I’m not sure what there is to roast about, besides that maybe you sound a little bit shy. <3

    edit: Oh you’re the person that mentioned the Rain comic! Thank you for that I’ve started reading it and got 22 chapters in before I was emotionally a wreck. In a good way! 🥹

    I think it sounds a little underfull (kinda dopey / hollow) this probably means the voice is too large for how light it is. Work more on resonance and size, I recommend starting with the Size v2 clip here: https://selenearchive.github.io/

    (If you are unfamiliar with “size”, large and small, and “weight”, light and heavy, as concepts I recommend listening to more of Selene’s clips as she demonstrates those qualities in a voice.)

    The light weight in your clip is good though as that is one of the main ways a voice is gendered as male (from being too heavy). It is easier to keep a lighter voice when speaking quietly for a recording - the question I would have is whether you can maintain that light weight at louder volumes, like when trying to be heard across a room or over noise. You might explore these cases and try slides where you go up and back down in volume while modulating weight (try it while staying light weight, try it again where you increase weight as much as you can instead, learn to recognize and control weight semi-independent of the increased volume).

    Keep up the good work! 👏 ❤️
