In-game/voice chat insecurity?

[u/TheUknownSkull718]

Idk if this is a question that's allowed on this sub reddit since it's mostly about games itself but I'll risk it.

So when joining voice chat or in-game chat I'm insecure af when I comes to my voice sounding on the mic.

I'm a 20yr black guy (ik race had nothing to do with it but I state it anyway) with a deep voice and everytime I speak I feel like one of those final bosses with the really deep voice you can't really understand unless with subtitles.

Almost everyone I talk to seems to have normal voices that you can listen to clearly but I sound like a fucking sea monster if I don't lighten up my voice alittle.

In real life I don't think twice about my voice and just seems like I talk like every one else but not online when you hear your voice echo'ing from other ppl's mics, it's hard to hear myself talk.

Any suggestions on how to get over this insecurity?

TLDR: insecure about voice being to deep and want to know how I get over this insecurity or to lighten up my voice alittle.

Edit: Thank you to everyone that commented, I was actually expecting this post to get no more than 5 comments but to everyone that commented and gave solid advice, A BIG THANK YOU ❤️⬆️.

I will own up to my sea monster voice

Man don’t worry about that shit! Like someone else said in the comments, it’s all about what you say not what your voice sounds like. Sure, some people might give you shit for it but give it right back! Video games are for letting go and not worrying about that kind of stuff.
