You can awake other things

...

worst part, I'm straight but only men are into me

I can't get a date or start a revolution

Are you sure user?

Don't worry.

We can change that.

I'm on the same boat OP

I've always admired people who can debate in a calm, collected and witty way like early Hitchens, or give great speeches that inspire courage and determination like Malcolm X or Stokely Carmichael. But I lack any of the attributes that make a good speaker. In my debate/study group I'm the one who speaks the most, and I'm constantly astonished at how awful I am at it. My thoughts come out of my mouth lacking any order or cohesion, and my cadence is dry and repetitive. We recorded one of the meetings and when I listened to it, I wanted to cry at the sound of my own voice.

I stay calm I just can't speak for shit

You are okay dylan.

Purple umbrella man sounds like he needs a dicking tho.

why is your name so long

Do it yourself, faggaroni.

This isn't your fucking tumblr page, junior.
Get the fuck out.

Ass pic?

There are plenty of famous people that had really embarrassing voices. George S Patton had a high pitched, almost girlish voice. Ira Glass sounds like a weezy nerd and his programs are well liked.

Also you can change your voice through exercise and practice. There are lots of techniques for controlling or altering your voice and manipulating how it sounds.

...

smh

Why let it discourage you OP? It's not like that ever stopped Comrade Schnitz.

Public speaking is just as much of a skill as anything else comrades. A couple years back, I noticed how truly awful I was at communicating with others and made an express effort to improve in that regard. I'm still not what you might consider amazing, but the difference between what I was and what I can do now is like night and day.

Practice things like projection and eye contact, and work on your nerves so you can keep calm when having to speak in front of a group. Look up lessons, or take classes if you've got the cash. If you've got the technique down, it doesn't matter what type of voice you have.

This is good advice. Just accept that that's the voice you have and you probably can't change it, so work on being calm and articulate instead. Maybe you'll be even more memorable to people.

It's actually more likely than most people think. People with weird but memorable quirks tend to get more work in entertainment than the generic Chad Hotbod. People like Steve Buschemi or Christopher Walken or Gary Beusey (if he weren't completely insane) will get work into their graves if they want it, while generic Hollywood Hunks are a dime a dozen.

Also, dude, Truman Capote

If he can make it big you really have nothing to worry about

Traps are great tho.

Are you cute?

...

get out of your shell, and stop fucking caring; you can only learn through failure.

PROTIP: Everyone's voice sounds like an awkward jerk off when they're in their 20s. Wait a decade or two before you write off your oratory skills.

Also, you could go the 70's country singer route and pick up chain smoking.

If you can speak, you can write. Become a lefty internet writefag. Free lefty themed fiction, write commie articles, help start a socialist news website or something. Start with bunkermag.

I'm the opposite problem tbh. My voice is pretty good and I can sound confident in an argument but I haven't read enough to where I feel like I can do leftism justice. I feel like whenever I talk politics I'm pulling a Chomsky and pretending I know what I'm talking about when I'm really talking entirely outside of my field of expertise

You could write speeches? I can speak relatively well but I can't write consistently, and only in inconsistent bursts of creativity.
