So, I've got to admit the recent thread about hating the sound of your own voice really touched a nerve with me. The sound of my voice when played back to me is something that has made me cringe since childhood, a good 40+ years ago. When I hear it back I don't just feel it sounds different, in my mind I think it sounds horrendously bad and I would say I've avoided talking because of this thought many times. So, after reading the near universal comments on here that everyone seems to hate the sound of their voice when played back, it got me thinking....maybe my thought is wrong, maybe my voice is not bad after all...maybe I just need to get used to hearing it played back, some kind of exposure therapy. So my plan is to record myself talking every day for say, 7 days, and see if my reaction to my voice becomes more bearable the more I hear it. I know this sounds terrible, but this is my invite to all who hate their voice, join me in this experiment, and post your thoughts. any takers? If not, I may just post my own results back here anyway.
