People were laughing at my voice in class!!!?

[CoolPerson]

Ok so I had to read a little paragraph in class and while I was reading people were laughing at me. Later I heard someone say I talk like a retard. I don't know why. I have read other paragraphs in the past in English and no one has laughed at me and I don't see why they were today . After in Social Studies I had to read another paragraph but no one laughed at me. I really want to change my voice a little. Im a girl and my voice is kind of deep and I recorded myself reading and I just sound so terrible and wierd. I hate it! How can I make my voice that tiny bit feminine and how can I speak clearly and normal in class next time I read? Also I say my s's kind of long when im not reading long paragraphs because I talk a bit slow. How can I speak at a normal speed. Please help

Thankyou

cough before u read, take a deep breath and just read what's on the paper.
Remember, practice makes perfect so practice reading novels at home. xx

That's only to mske your reading clearer and better. Don't let others get you down babes, it never results in success.

I think you did a good thing by recording yourself reading and critiquing it. I think that would be your best course of action...keep recording yourself reading, and keep practicing until you think you got it right. Listen carefully to yourself and keep trying to correct it - then, practice, practice and practice some more. Very few people do things really well without practice - practice is the key! And the more you read out loud the better you will get at it.
