By all means project as much as you need to when it’s necessary and make sure your speaking voice is loud enough (and clear) but there’s a difference between loud enough and loud just for the sake of being loud. Once you get good with being tonally quieter you stop obsessing over how other people think your voice comes across as and eventually just stop caring. It doesn’t detract from what you say or anything to actually do with you as a person. With a population of 7 billion we’re bound to all be different (in terms of voice-tonality, personality, ethnicity, height, weight, etc.) and diversity’s ultimately a good thing. You don’t need to get into the habit of making silly excuses for just being the way you are. You could be a chain-smoker with intermittent severe tonsillitis or you could just have a low, husky voice. So long as you’re heard and don’t get asked to speak up too much what does it really matter.
