I’ve never had a real helium experience. Every time I try, my voice gets slightly higher but it’s only because I feel I’m supposed to have a high-pitch voice and my mind modifies my voice automatically, rather than the gas doing its job.

One day we were playing with helium balloons and my mom walks in and professes the belief that helium is mostly psychological or a trick, that people are just raising their voices. We’re like, “Right, so try it!” We tell her to empty her lungs as much as she can before breathing it in. She sucks it in and then squeaks “This isn’t going to wor–” with a surprised look on her face. 🙂

That’s really funny. Perhaps, I need to inhale more helium before I can enjoy the real effect…
