Talking little

[Kiya]

Hii! I have a very hard time figuring out how to talk little, I never have really been around other littles, or even toddlers/children. It's only been me in my family and no one that I know has a baby! Everyone is my age. So, I just want to know the basics about talking like a little, help would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Just put one a cute voice and replace all of your "r"s with "w"s. Same with "l"s. Mispronounce stuff constantly. Instant success.

I tend to get so excited I studder over words, or sometimes pronounce words wrong. Like I always have trouble with specifically, and a few other words. Also I cram two adjectives together without even thinking about it. I also make grammar mistakes like a child would so making things plural or singular when they should not be or trailing off my sentences. My voice also tends to get a higher pitch and sounds more innocent. I usually don't notice the changes they just shift with my mood. When I'm little I sound little, it's kind of normal for me.

Do you ever see a cute puppy and feel compelled to talk to it? And if you do, does your voice change? That's the best comparison I can make because, for me, it just happens naturally. It's not intentional, nor have I ever practiced sounding little. 

 

When I go into little space, my voice automatically sounds higher, and depending on whats happening in that moment, it can also be softer (when I see something I like) or whinier (when I see something I don't like). Pretty much the same thing happens when I talk to my Daddy. I don't purposely try to sound like a little girl for him, but when I hear his voice on the phone, my own voice instinctively gets higher and more girly. Especially if he tells me how cute and pretty I am. On the other hand, when we're having a serious discussion, or talking about anything important, that same instinct doesn't kick in and my voice sounds the same way it always does. Luckily for me, he thinks even my regular grown up voice is pretty cute.

 

One thing I've noticed myself intentionally doing is changing words to have an "E" sound at the end. Some good examples that you've probably heard before would stuffies instead of stuffed animals or cummies instead of...well, you know. Like if I have a stomach ache, I'll tell him that my tummy is hurty. All that sort of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Choice of simple words.. the cute version of it ...  small sentences...

Talk about Little things or your Little activities ...

 

Sure that if you talk with you pacifier in your mouth it's hard to sound Grown up! ...

 

I Think the idea is to feel great and Little... it is very personnal. Maybe Little you is an intellectual! hihi ... Having Fun and less worries is an important thing in being Little for me.

All of you littles are amazing! I adore being able to see how you embrace your passion.

If I ever figure out what middles do, I promise to share. Rock On!

Depends on what age your middle relates to. What brought you to the determination that you are a middle?

There is no "way" to talk like a little. You're attributing it to children and toddlers, but most of them don't even really speak "cutesy." They're actually trying to sound like grown ups, imitating how grown ups speak. It's their "mistakes" that we adults find cute. Don't get too self-conscious about your voice, just do your best to get into little space, and while there, try to let go of everything else and just act naturally. If you're trying to use a "little" voice in order to help get you into little space, then the above suggestions from other littles can help. Toys, stuffies, coloring, and the like, are tools to help manifest the youthful psychology within your adult brain. Some littles don't need any manipulatives or tools, and can go there on their own. Some need the manipulatives.

 

The most important aspect of being a little is the state of mind, so don't get too caught up in whether your voice is "appropriately little" or not. If you feel that your voice is somehow hindering you from achieving little space, even with the use of manipulatives, only then should you even be concerned about it. Don't force anything. Don't try hard to be a little, only try hard to understand why you want or need to be a little. The more you understand your psychological desire, the more you'll understand how your particular little manifests, including your little's voice.

 

Some people try really hard to be a little, and want to know the techniques. I would venture to say that most of those people actually aren't littles. They just wish, for some reason, that they were. No one should have to ask how to be heterosexual, intelligent, artistic, or mechanical. These are natural tendencies. So is being a little. If you find yourself having to try too hard, or find you're not understanding how to "be" little or find "little space", then maybe you actually aren't a little. That wouldn't make you a less important, impactful, or beautiful human being. Good luck!

I have a natural tendency to talk in third person and I'm more animated, but that's about it. I may use... simpler...? words. For example, "Kitten is sleepy." "Kitten wants to go do stuffs." "Ewww, naps are gross."

I agree with what LittleKittenLo said. Just do what feels natural to you.

 

Don't force anything. Just go into little space and see what happens.

 

When I'm in little space by myself, my speech doesn't change at all. However, once I get on the phone with daddy, I giggle and laugh a lot and my voices' pitch goes higher. It just naturally happens. I didn't even notice it till someone pointed it out to me.

 

My words and speech don't change at all. I still use my normal grammar and thought process. My pitch just changes, I'm more playful and I talk slower. Which is super funny, cause, I naturally talk really fast. Hehehe.

There's no real way to "talk little" as every little is different. I'm pretty much always little and it normally consists of getting overly excited or like small child tantrum defiant.

 

"Get out of bed!" "No!" *Throws Reptar over my head and pouts*

 

Just do what feels natural! Own it and make it your own!

[Dumbledork'sPrincess]

Alongside all of the above I sometimes draw words out. So 'no' becomes 'nuuuuuuuuuh', Daddy becomes Daddyyyyyyyyyy.

And I also end words differently, sometimes I'll over emphasise the last syllable or add a different noise to the end, for example 'I don't wanna go asleeeeeeup'

This, this is how middles talk XP 

 

There's no one way that littles or middles talk, just do whatever you like and have fun! I tend to get giggly and a bit whiny, with a much higher pitch and cutesy words and make up silly lil songs about everything I'm doing. Literally think out how you squeal when you see cute things and that's pretty much it.

I love this song XD

I love this song XD

IKR?? When I first heard it I just sat there laughing until I cried, then sent it to Daddy and laughed some more at the epic "Daddy Sigh" I could just hear even though he's on the other side of the country XD

[CrazyLittleBuggaBoo]

Try talking in third person?

 

 

Try using hands and cute noises in place of words?

When I am feeling little I tend to have more energy or excitement to the tone of my voice and add more umms and uhhs while talking. I usually just think back to how I spoke when I was younger as far as sentences go. Mostly I feel middle in little space and tend to speak as a teen would but being around other littles can make me regress some.

[roseyposey]

All that sort of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Ahhh a fellow Whovian

 

I'm tend to automatically become softer in the way I speak and there always seems to be a pout heard in my voice haha. I also say stuffies, cummies, etc. I have a hard time expressing myself if I'm upset while feeling little and will often resort to using memes and gifs (if we're texting) instead of words.
