Caitlyn Jenner is a beautiful class act following her transgender transformation, but she still has the voice of Bruce Jenner, and that apparently bothers her.

In an I Am Cait promo clip released by E! for the upcoming episode, Jenner was shown talking to Kim Kardashian and Malika Haqq about her deep, manly voice.
Before Jenner officially became a woman, she wondered for years how it might feel to be treated like one. She'd therefore order room service with her best female voice to get that type of reaction, but it never worked out.
"Like if you call down to room service," Jenner began, "I'd be sitting there in my little room, all by my lonesome, and I'd think, 'Okay, I'm going to try to get my best feminine voice and call down so they say, Yes, ma'am.' I could never do it."
"Try it!" Kardashian urged in support of the idea. "I'll tell you if you get a 'yes, ma'am.'"

Haqq added, "Let's hear her!"
Kardashian then pretended to pick up a phone and impersonate a hotel employee.
"Front desk!" Kardashian said in a sweet high-pitched voice. "Hey, this is room service. How can I help you?"
Kardashian instructed Jenner to ask for bacon, eggs, orange juice and toast. But Jenner was too nervous to comprehend what was asked of her. Instead, she just focused on how to speak.
"Yes, actually, you can help me!" Jenner said, trying to sound feminine but obviously failing.

Kardashian laughed and yelled, "You sound no different!"
Jenner, who was completely in on the joke and certainly not offended, told her stepdaughter, "I didn't think so!"
"SIR, what would you like, sir?" Kardashian teased.
"See!" Jenner said with a laugh. "That's the problem!"
Jenner then addressed the I Am Cait cameras.

"Women cannot relate to the whole voice thing," she explained. "They don't see it as being that important when it is that important, not only for you to speak and order and do all that kind of stuff, but very important for your soul that you're feeling good about that."
Jenner also mentioned the voice problem on her blog recently, telling fans it remains an insecurity and "bothers" her, according to E! News. However, she's more focused on people listening to what she has to say rather than the sound of her voice.
I Am Cait airs on Sunday nights at 8PM ET/PT only on E!
