Voices

[Epee_Pox]

This being a written medium, we don't get to hear each other's voices.

So tell us... what do you sound like? What do you WISH you sounded like? What do you imagine others here sound like?

[Fencergrl]

Interesting question.

I have been told I have a calming voice. When I hear my voice on a taperecording I think I sound like my name should be Moonbeam and I should be living on a hippie commune (if that makes any sense).

I always expect my voice to sound much deeper and huskier than it does.

[sandworm]

it is said i have a very evil laugh.

[Black Jeebus]

I think my voice makes me sound a little on the fruity side. A little light in the loafers if you know what I mean.

[gtmac]

I sound a lot like my younger brother. Does that help?

[fencergal33]

A phone sex operator?

[Black Jeebus]

A phone sex operator?

I don't know about that. Too bad I already deleted that message you left me!

[gtmac]

A phone sex operator?

That was you?!

[fencergal33]

*in very low and sexy tone* "Hi Jeebus. What are you in the mood for tonight?"

[Black Jeebus]

I half expected my phone to start ringing... Oh and can I get the cheese quesadilla with extra honey mustard?

[ChrisBrasel]

After meeting Ross this lsat weekend I would have to agree with what he said about himself. :P jk buddy.

I'm never forgiving you for unleashing FG33's kid on me.

[Black Jeebus]

LOL! What do you mean?! It isn't my fault you can't summon your "dad voice" yet! That's all you have to do. Lower the voice a little and pull on an air of "it's not a good idea to ignore me" and the kids will listen. In the meantime you're just gonna have to learn to be quicker about getting away from them!

EDIT: It's all about presence, and I think I have that in spades!

[ThatReallyHurt]

I sound like my Dad.

I apparently have an evil-esque chuckle.

I wish I could do a voice like Tony Jay or the guy who plays Plankton in Spongebob.

Although Tony Jay would be spectacular.

[ShadyLane]

My voice is a bit squeaky I think, and a bit mumbly...I sound like a whiny kid...

[Go? Fencing?]

I sound like a higher version of my brother. We used to be indistinguishable on the phone; now he sounds more like my dad.

My voice is kinda weak, I can't usually control what it sounds like, so the emotions come out wrong... one of the reasons some people don't get my jokes, and therefore, one of the reasons I've developed a dry way of telling jokes.

[Epee_Pox]

Apparently, my voice resembles Peter O'Toole attempting a midwestern US accent. Which is a strange thing to be told. I guess it's because I enunciate better than most.

I'd much prefer to sound like a blend of Ian McKern, Brian Blessed, and John Rhys-Davies tempered with the cadences of Alec Guinness. Or at least Patrick Stewart. Oh well, could be worse I guess.

[bmcfencer]

My voice changes with mood, and I think it's a bit deeper than how I hear it (one of my friends also tells me my voice has "mellowed" in the past few years).

Generally I sound like a camp counselor. Imagine every camp counselor you've ever had and squash them into one person. There. that's it. Now just add a bit more sarcasm.

If you've never had a camp counselor, imagine the quenticential (yes yes, that's misspelled) older sister voice.

When I'm caught up in something I can make people excited / upset / sleepy / nervous with my voice. No, really. I'm especially good at the sleepy bit- my dance company would always ask me to do guided meditations because it meant instant nap time. Fear the oratory power!

[Amadeus]

i sound like a 12 year old boy going through the first stages of puberty after inhaling the air of a helium balloon.

actually, i sound like a normal person.

[ShadyLane]

actually, i sound like a normal person.

But we all know that there is no such thing as normal!

[sabreur]

I think I sound like an obnoxious wise-ass New England preppy.

If I have a couple of drinks, my Tennessee accent (inherited from my parents) comes through.

Odd, since I've never actually lived in Tennessee.
