[possession] Voice

Does your voice actually change to match your tulpa's voice when your tulpa takes control of the body? Logic says no to me, but I've seen some places which suggest this and of course we haven't gotten around to possession to test this.

I've seen a video with someone who switched with his tulpa, and yes, his voice changed. And I think this is also pretty common when it comes to DID, voices often change when someone else is fronting. But it's not a must. A friend of mine has been diagnosed with DID, and her voice doesn't change.

Thank you for the response Crescendo! It still wasn't exactly clear, then again I realize I didn't really make my question clear either.

 

By voice changing, would it be a completely unnatural voice put on a body (e.g. if a tulpa with a high-pitched voice possessing a young man - the voice would just naturally come out)? Or would it sound more like a young man TRYING to create a high pitched voice?

Well i'll possess and use the voice, and it's true that you're stuck using the vocal chords in the body. I can make my voice different sounding than my host's, but it was sort of a practice to find a spoken voice that sounded enough like me in the process. Just can't get around the biology of it.

What Aijada said. I can't imagine a tulpa can just naturally use a different voice than the host without some sort of vocal training, just because a tulpa still has to make do with the host's vocal chords. It would be easier for a voice within the range of the host's vocal chords, but I don't think one could possess their host's body and start using, say, a baritone voice if their host's voice is high-pitched.

I've been possessed many times and for what I know my voice hasn't changed.
