If you've ever been afforded the opprotunity to listen to a recording of your own voice, then you know what it sounds like. If you've ever had this experience, did you like what you heard or not? Just for the record ( no pun intended ), I do not like mine. I sound like a freakin' 16 year old boy! Most people can't tell the difference between me and my 20 year old son when they talk to us over the phone. Makes me wish my voice had taken on a mature sound over the years. But, it didn't and it isn't something one can change about him / herself.

I'm not crazy about my voice, although I am grateful to be able to speak when others can't.
Now that I've humbled myself, I can get back to why I don't like the sound of my voice: I grew up on Long Island and have that heavy duty accent. People tell me all the time that I sound like "The Nanny" (too bad they don't tell me I have her figure or her $$ !). Other times, people ask me if I'm from either the Bronx, Brooklyn, or New Jersey, which makes me feel I should be wearing spandex, teased hair, and crackin' bubble gum!
But, here's the irony: for over 13 years I was a successful telesales rep selling educational materials. I called all over the country, and everyone loved my voice because it was so trusting, knowledgeable and friendly! For many people in remote areas, we used to joke that I was about as close to The Big Apple that they'll ever get!
Go figure?! So, I guess my voice isn't as annoying as I think it is. We just recently moved down South, so maybe after a few years I'll have a "hybrid" voice and be the only one who can say "Y'all have a real nice day." with a Long Island twang!!

I have a little voice. When I hear myself recorded I sound like Minnie Mouse, especially when I sing. I'm 25 but if you heard me over the phone you would probably think I was 12.

Yes, I like the sound of my own voice, took some getting use to, but now that I have heard it so much, I know what to change about it if I am being a critic about it. Good question.

Yes, I have heard myself recorded, and I do like the sound of my voice. The first time I heard myself recorded, I didn't know that it was me singing, and I actually said... "Wow... that woman has a nice voice... who is that?" Very embarrassing.
I like my voice, but I sure don't sound like I do in my head. Don't fret... some things keep us young :)

I love my voice. It's kind of low and smooth which my parents say is a sign of good breeding. However, if I start to lie or get in an argument my voice gets amazingly high and squeaky. I also laugh like a hyena.

My first office job was for a regional division office in human resources. The company had just transferred from Chicago to ATL. My company sent me for diction lessons to 'lose the accent'. I had 2 distinct ways of speaking for many years, but now I use a 'blended' version. My strongest emotions and attachments still remain with my 'original dialect'.

I am a musician so yes I have heard my voice recorded. For most people the first time they hear them self it is a little weird.

Yeah, I love my voice, but I don't cut people off, usually I'm the one who's quiet and let others talk.

~Yeah, I hate my voice to. I recorded it on my pc and thought it sounded pretty stupid. Hard to explain it but I didn't enjoy it at all.
LOL I was recently going to a chiropractor and I called him a few times for appointments and he knew who I was right away. I asked him if he had caller ID or some sh*t. He's like naa, your voice is pretty distinctive.
:-) O well, nothing we can do about our voices!
