Do calm voices sooth you?

[Lithophila 291]

It soothes and relaxes my mind, like if someone made me relax and soothens up my head whenever i listen to the relaxing calm voices. Calm whisperings can also have that effect. I am wondering your views on it?

[Denim&Venöm 16,453]

Now that I think about it, not really. It makes me think that they think I'm wrong, that I shouldn't be justified in feeling stressed for whatever reason. I hate being told to calm down. Also, It makes me want to argue with whomsoever's trying to reassure me. Make me justify my stance on things. 

A stern voice would do better. It would tell me "Yes, your justified for feeling this way. Here's how you get out of that." 

 

Pep talks work better for me than reassurance.

Ooooh yes. Calm, soothing voices ease my mind. They can really relax me to a great extent and this is why Storpey is one of my favorite Youtubers and the only Let's Player I like. His voice is very welcoming and calming. When people use a harsh tone in their voice, it can make me feel nervous. *~* 

 

Here is an example of what I mean about Storpey, there is strong language at parts so keep that in mind.

Not in general. If it's the voice of someone I'm familiar with and/or trust, then yes. But just random people? Uh-uh.

 

Or I guess in music. When I'm really stressed out, "Drowned in Love" by PON3 knocks me right out.

I want to snuggle whenever I hear it xD.. :C T^T 

[Lume WMj 228]

Recently I've been way into ASMR videos, like those "brain massaging" experiments and stuff. I wouldn't necessarily say it helps me relax, but I think it's just an overall weird, yet cool feeling every time... I just wish I had a decent headset for the better experience. :|

Voice, like all sound does have frequences that has effects on us. Thats why different people find different kinds of music relaxing and why a stranger's voice might soothe one person but irriate the shit out of someone else.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It depends on how bad I'm feeling.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,953]

Nope, it actually scares me 

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

It depends. If it’s a creepy calm voice then it’s kinda disturbing to listen to lol. 

[Fluttershyfan94 5,737]

I like it personally calm and soothing voice yas. Personally I can do a very soothing and calming voice if I want to say calm you.

[TotallyNotNyx 15,563]

My voice sounds like a cheese grater 

[Dreambiscuit 8,021]

I love a nice smooth, soothing voice. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. 

Ummmmm...

If you like the sound of nails on a chalkboard, sure, you'd love to listen to this caterwaul.

Nah, I would love it.

The tone of the voice doesn't matter much, as much as the content of what is being said.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

In FNAF Sister Location whenever Circus Baby talks its usually pretty calming. During Night 5 when she says “You must remain calm” it actually works, at least for a moment.

As for IRL voices, I don’t think it would work as well if there is a different intent behind the voices.

[Prospekt 10,984]

Yes, but when it starts to venture into ASMR territory it gets kinda creepy.

[Coffee 4,320]

Yes calm voices can be nice.

They do ease me but sometimes, I felt as if the speaker is hiding their true emotions. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,290]

Trance music uses calm voices.  

[Astralshy 23,442]

Some (not all) calm voice have that effect on me indeed

[Silly Druid 6,111]

I love listening to voices of characters like Fluttershy and Maud Pie. They do have the soothing effect on me.
