[quote=Anonymous]I am naturally loud.  I grew up in a household where multiple people spoke at once and you were often involved in 3-4 conversations at once with different people.  Yes, I know that I am loud and have been shushed regularly.  The problem is that this is my default and I have to concentrate literally constantly to modulate my voice quieter so that it stays quieter.  Otherwise, I'll be quieter for a few sentences and as my mind passes on to other things, including the conversation, then my voice goes back to loud.  I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

Conversely, there are a lot of timid and quieter speakers that I know that speak so softly and then get frustrated when people don't notice or hear them speaking, or don't think the person is talking to them.  So, they are asked to speak up/louder and they'll do so for a few sentences and then go quieter again and have to be reminded to speak up or be ignored.  These people are especially annoying on telecons or just regular phone conversations where you can't hear them over the phone.  It works both ways.  And frankly, I find the quiet speakers to be more annoying, but I try to be accommodating to both loud and quiet speakers where possible and to accept the fact that some people speak louder, some speak softer and try to work with each person to communicate.
