"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have a very bad voice. Russian accent, bad. Its alright on Russian, but bad in English. Older women get a kick out of it and find it a turn on, younger girls dont like it, I can see it goes 180 after I open my mouth.

What are some of the voice lessons on tapes or computer program I could get that will help me with my problem? I have Sound of your Voice, by carrol flemming. I wonder if there is anything else that will work for me even better.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

- Take singing lessons. Singing lessons will help you strengthen your voice, properly pronounce certain words, the tone of your voice, and hold a note (which is good for making sure your voice isn't all over the place).

- Quit smoking. I don't know if you smoke, but in-case anyone who smokes is reading this and can't understand why your voice seems so damaged, this is probably why. Smoking can damage your vocal cords, breathing and personal health (duh).

- Take deep breath's before speaking. Deep breather's have stronger voices and generally speak clearer.

- Don't force anything. Putting force on your vocal cords will damage your voice.

- Have a little confidence in yourself. Confident speakers generally have better voices then a unconfident speaker.

- Take a deep breath and hum to yourself. Hum in one tone and hold that tone as long as you can. Don't hum to a song, because you'll end up humming in various tones. You can do that later if you really feel the need to hum to a song. Think of yourself as a meditating monk.

- Now try usng different mouth shapes and vowels like "ooh", "ee", "a" and "aah".

- Here's a website that has some free singing exercises (as said above, singing exercises can also help you strengthen your voice, pronunciate, etc).

Grr, my reply didn't post.

Let's try this one more time. I'm going to type fast, so this won't be as detailed as my original post.

- Take singing lessons. It'll help strengthen your voice, pronounce words, etc.
- Don't smoke. Smoking will damage your vocal cords.
- Take deep breaths before speaking.
- Take a deep breath and hum to yourself in a single tone. Don't hum to songs, it'll make you hum in various tones.
- Now try using different mouth shapes and vowels like "ooh", "ee", "a" and "aah".

Here's a quick website for free singing exercises: http://www.vocalist.org.uk/exercises.html
