He'd get the phone out of my hand when I was talking to suppliers up north. He'd yell and cuss, but by gawd we got the stuff we needed ASAP. Didn't take me long to learn when it came to people paying their bills either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theotherguy Posted May 18, 2021 #30 Share Posted May 18, 2021 For me, it's not the pitch of my recorded voice that bugs me. It's the nasalness. If I force myself into a lower pitch and speak sort of from the back of my throat, it becomes almost acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorg Posted May 18, 2021 #31 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I think it might be the quality of the recording equipment. I have heard my voice as I hear it, and the weird way too. I heard someone once say my voice sounded like a mix of two movie stars, and that is the way I hear my voice, and on recording it sounds nothing like those two stars.

the13bats Posted May 18, 2021 #33 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Im not sure i know my real voice, i have been told both "you sound southern" and you dont sound southern, ive been told i sound like Elvis or Sam Elliot I used to hang with redneck buddies who had no accents and didnt sound like cletus hicks, but i know that way of talking. if i hang with a person who has an accent i will parrot it, its funny like when i worked with a cat from the deep Louisiana bayou, i can mimic many cartoons or actors and if doing mic MC work i get told that it doesnt sound like me over the mic a hugh plus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeGorilla Posted May 18, 2021 #34 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) I hate mine. I have family from all over, but was born and raised in South Carolina, so I might say things a certain way and people here are just like wtf? I guess I have kind of a blend, and southern people often ask where I'm from, whereas people not from the south know I'm from the south I've been in south carolina all my life and still can't understand a lot of people... Seems like younger generations have weaker and weaker accents, a lot of them just sound very ambiguous Edited May 18, 2021 by HandsomeGorilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taken aback at how thin and weak my voice sounds(I would like to say ethereal! ). I know I speak quietly but it was still a shock. Please post a recording of yourself reciting The Raven.

tcgram Posted May 18, 2021 #39 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I never thought my voice sounded bad until I heard it recorded for the first time. I have a husky voice for a female and I dislike it. Lived in OH for most of my life so I also have that midwestern accent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Quebec. ? isn't French the provincial language due Quebec? No, my friend from Quebec spoke French at home and went to an english school so her accent is just Canadian english, or maybe northern American english. If people don't know she if from Canada they think she is from one of the north western states. There is a definite accent for those on the North east coast. You can almost tell what state they are from even though those states are small and crammed with people. But I did notice that the accents all over the U.S. have become more homogenized since the 70's. I heard my daughter's boss from Boston not long ago when he was doing a zoom meeting and I happened to be visiting her, he is from Boston but the accent is barely discernible. In the 70's I knew two people from Boston and I could not figure out a lot of what they said because they never used the letter R (for example Carl was pronounced Cal). And I was told that for a Mexican, my english was pretty good from some guy from Rhode Island that no one could understand. Not only did the guy speak horrible english, he didn't know basic U.S. geography Edited May 18, 2021 by Desertrat56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illusions of the inner sanctum of our minds. I see myself in the mirror and I think...you don't look that bad. Then I see myself in a video and I think...damn son, you are butt ugly! But I have gotten use to hearing my voice recorded. Aye! When I look in the mirror I see Brad Pitt staring back. When I see myself on TV I look more like Danny DeVito.

In Scotland in the 1640s, the Covenanters rejected rule by bishops, often signing manifestos using their own blood. Some wore red cloth around their neck to signify their position, and were called rednecks by the Scottish ruling class to denote that they were the rebels in what came to be known as The Bishop's War that preceded the rise of Cromwell.[28][29] Eventually, the term began to mean simply "Presbyterian", especially in communities along the Scottish border. Because of the large number of Scottish immigrants in the pre-revolutionary American South, some historians have suggested that this may be the origin of the term in the United States.[30] Dictionaries document the earliest American citation of the term's use for Presbyterians in 1830, as "a name bestowed upon the Presbyterians of Fayetteville [North Carolina]".[11][29] Wikipedia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
