Yes, I sometimes make phone calls to friends who don't speak my mother tongue. I never leave voice messages - I don't know why, maybe it's because I don't feel confortable with my voice. I usually write emails to people about work or for pleasure.

Please give me some advice on how to be more confident with my voice when speaking English.

Hi, to be more confortable with your voice i should you practise alone your voice in case you have important calls and the other person not answer to you. You need to be more confident with your voice in case somebody bully you, you have the skill to win. Byeee!!!
