My poor voice

Published by

Whenever I speak, it would seem as if the voice is coming from inside of me and will not go out. This has made people to be asking me if I am actually speaking Yoruba or another language. My problem has been very embarrassing and has not made me to socialise as much as I would have liked to do. Kindly help me.
