Default Do you mumble a lot or speak too low?

I notice many times I talk to people I don't feel comfortable with with a very low voice (because I don't want to speak too loud for everyone to listen) and a weaker tone and it's like I eat words in a weird way, and then people don't undertand what I say lots of times. Do you have this too?

When i am calm i can speak clearly, but when i am anxious i mumble a lot. I hate going to Mcdonalds o'r to any other counter when there's a queue of people then i beging to mumble.

When i phoned the clinic where i get therapy for the first time i thought they had got my details right, but when i got the letter of confirmation i realised that they had got my surname totally wrong! I mean did i mumble that much?!

I think that I mumble a lot. I noticed today that my doctor kept saying "What?" He couldn't seem to understand what I was saying to him.

I apparently do but I don't notice it until I have to repeat myself 2-3 times.

Oh yeah, I feel like I talk to softly. And I will often quickly mumble things and people will have to ask me to repeat things.

I get tongue-tied very easily. I actually have a lot of difficulty saying my own name (Laura). When I answer the phone at work I have to say "[name of company] Laura speaking." because before I was saying "[name of company] this is Laura" and sooo many people misunderstood my name. Like I had people calling me so many different things because they didn't understand what I was saying. I can't pronounce my name clearly when I say "this is__" before it I guess. Also, when I was younger people always thought I was saying my name was "Maura," cause I mumbled so much.
