I did specific "for a few years," so probably the former - though most people seem to want the latter.

Yep. It'd be fine if I just sounded boyish, but nope. I do get to see a fun look on people's faces when I'm doing calls for work and someone comes in later asking for Mr. Heloin.

I at least still sound like I'm in my twenties thank you very much

For what it's worth, I've not had the exact opposite situation but my voice does sound weirdly high pitched on the phone? Doesn't sound like a woman talking, but definitely not like a 20 something man either.

At least it's mildly confusing, for now I am starting to think you sound more like a lesser known Muppet.

I sound like a socially awkward imbecile who doesn't really know what they're talking about. It is a very fitting voice.

Just add verbosity and dazzle them with convoluted sentences saturated with difficult words.

Dawww, don't sell yourself so short.

As for me, I never sound like I belong. People say I sound like a tourist from some far away land, like Seattle or some other west-coast city. But then when I am actually in a west-coast city, people think I sound like a Redneck.

This is why I plan on moving in-between Redneckia and The West Coast to the Great land of Utahia

Or just read Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land for a bit of perspective.
