It sounds too high pitched to be reasonable, I think. That you’re auditioning for a voice role, rather than just being a people with a job and friends and hobbies. I think the word is “inauthentic.”
^(Or, self, maybe you and all your friends are all depressed and you all sound like Daria Morgendorffer and could do with some goddamn joy like what OP has.)
Also if I’m gonna criticize OP this harshly, I really should put myself in the same spotlight. I like my voice though, and won’t really fix it.

I agree, and I think the conflating of pitch vs resonance (or size vs weight, depending on how we're looking at it here) is erring too far on the size/pitch side and not enough on the weight/resonance side. It's good progress, though! I've been at this for two months and am nowhere near as good.
yes, the voice is imbalanced in terms of weight and size, as well as "unnatural" due to the theatrical / performative quality - this is one reason why I ask people to upload clips that are "candid" - just speaking as if you were talking to someone, without reading anything.
EDIT: lol, I love that everyone is uploading their voices too 💕
Great idea! I was definitely in performance mode. I'll record a conversational clip next time I'm at my PC. I'd love to hear more people's voices, too :3
Yay, thanks for the clip. I don't think you were being mean at all!
I also use Japanese all day in and out of work. I should try that next time!
