Dear Angela,
I am 15 years old and I am very shy. I don’t talk to girls because I am insecure about the sound of my voice. I was a late bloomer so my voice has only recently changed. I am scared to talk to girls for fear that my voice will crack mid-conversation. What can I do to ease my anxiety?

Dear Michael,
First of all, you should know that girls are attracted to guys with gusto. You shouldn’t be insecure about who you are. As long as you speak with confidence, people will listen. Just follow my tips and I guarantee that you will feel like a new man. Here are 3 easy steps to captivating a woman with your voice:
1. Lower your voice a little. The lower the voice, the manlier the man. A deep voice is reassuring.
2. Inflection. Use a slight, singsong rhythm. Try to emphasize one or two words in each sentence, and end your phrases on an upbeat note.
3. Slow down your speaking pace. Talking slower relaxes her and exudes more confidence and patience.
