mrs.a.butler

See, you're playing with people who visit the internet because their ugly voices have made them the ridiculed minority of pleasant, speaking society.  We probably would have fulfilling lives full of actual verbal discourse if we liked the way we talked.  Unfortunately, though, we are happily stuck here, silent, yet verbose. 

 

(wow - I need to go home)

Oh, I'll totally opt in, but it's a one-time deal.

nope, no problem.  I've already heard your voice though, so you would be for the other curious effers

Did my voice sound weird to you?  It always sounds weird to me when I hear it played from an outside source.

nope, not at all.  you have a nice sweet voice

GladToBeMrs.SRS

I'll bet you wouldn't say it's so sweet right now.  It's all squeaky- and honky-like.  Sort of like a hoarse goose.  Rather unattractive and sick sounding.  Perfect for my ploy to get out of The Game (go, Iowa!) tomorrow.

I don't know whether to chuckle at your description or feel sad for you.    Yea for ploys, though.

I know I would fail at that game--it's really hard for me to sound natural when I know I'm being recorded. I have a few different versions of phone voice, and then there's the teacher voice, but if I'm just hanging out and not paying much attention to it, I have an oddly accented alto.

I think you have the kewelest accent.  It's very...intelligent and...pristine sounding.  May I be like you someday?  Pretty please?

PM me your number and I will leave you a message. I'm not posting my voice, though!

Joes_love

i don't like phones b/c i hate my voice.  so i'm most definitely not posting a video of myself!  pictures are hard enough for me to post.

That's horribly sweet. It's also the first time I've ever been called "pristine," which I find fabulous.

You're welcome to be me anytime you'd like.  But if you want the voice, you have to spend most your life moving, consider a linguistic fault line your home, do some speech therapy for a slight lisp, do theatre with the accompanying "get rid of your accent" classes, and then work in the children's section of a library to really get the identity confusion at its fullest

Aw, shucks.  Can't I just jump on the pristine bandwagon now that you've got it rolling along so well?  I'll just take lessons from you over coffee and yarn, k?

Well, okay!!

you can hear my weird voice in this video of DD (from a while back)... it was taken with my camera on video mode... so its cruddy but you'll get the idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aORo8D4vng

WaitingOnTwoPinkLines

if you go to here and then click on the videos, you can hear (and see) me. "Horses at Simons" "They're HEEERE" and "Dog, Meet Horse" all have me talking a decent amount.

Here's a video of me talking to my youngest, about 9 months ago, when he was signing like crazy (ignore his shirtless-ness, we'd had tomato pasta for dinner). 

Sunny1inTucson

I like my normal talking voice. I don't really have an accent I don't think.

But whenever I'm on video filming DD, I talk in this sing-songy friggin' high voice and it is SO ANNOYING!!
