Do you love the sound of your own voice?

[CorpGovActivist]

Uh-huh. Those of you who've worked in radio, or on stage, 'fess up.

You know you fall asleep better to the sound of your own soliloquy. You're not really counting sheep.

; )

[BarenakedLady]

1. I think I sound nasally.

But I've been told I have a sexy voice.

:shrug:

[CorpGovActivist]

2. Ask your closest gay male friend. He'll tell you the truth.

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

9. LoL.

:thumbsup:

[CorpGovActivist]

11. Immune to the charms of your nick, he'll give it to you, er...um...straight.

; )

[GOPisEvil]

4. I sound like I have a perpetual stuffy nose.

But, some people have told me they like it.

:shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

10. I'm sure it's lovely

Just like you...

oh wait!

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

You were due.

[CorpGovActivist]

18. Ooooooooo....

... now do me!

:spank:

[GOPisEvil]

20. I'm sure yours is as lovely as your stunning visage as well.

And yes, I am due. :D

[Inchworm]

6. I imagine it as sexy

know that :)

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

14. It's not

:P

[Inchworm]

17. If you want me to stop stalking you, just say so

no lying allowed! :rofl:

:*

[BarenakedLady]

22. Well I'm sure your gf

may want you to.

She isn't going to beat me up, is she?

:hide:

[Inchworm]

30. Nope

But she has hinted that she is aware of you :D

My GF is a rock. She doesnt let fun start trouble. So I'll continue.

Pretty sure your boundaries would be crossed before hers. Warn me if I touch you just wrong so I know, ok?

:yoiks:

[DarkTirade]

3. Speaking? No.

Singing... eh, http://www.stickmanltd.com/practicesessions/colorful.mp3">it's okay.

[CorpGovActivist]

12. Now I have to figure out how to download it. What part do you sing?

[DarkTirade]

19. Normally bass, but there's very little rock music written for the bass range.

Thankfully I've got a fairly wide range. I'm not at my best or most comfortable up in the tenor 2 range, but I can handle it.

I just set up a myspace musician page, and that song's on there though. :P It's http://www.myspace.com/hughsullivanmusic">here if you wanna check it out. The song I linked to is Colorful, the second one on the playlist.

[CorpGovActivist]

25. Very cool!

Do you also sing madrigals?

- Dave

[DarkTirade]

35. I usually played the instruments for those.

I didn't have the time to join the madrigal choir at my college, just the Early Music Ensemble. I played soprano, alto and tenor recorder, and lute. I thought about trying viola da gamba, but for some reason it just didn't interest me that much.

I would have loved to join the madrigal singers, but the only semester I had the time to try out was first semester my freshman year, and the teacher didn't think I had quite the experience necessary.

[CorpGovActivist]

39. I like madrigals and other early musical forms, the more complex the better.

:hi:

Very cool! How many instruments do you play?

[DarkTirade]

43. Counting voice? 9.

Violin, guitar, bass, keyboard, soprano recorder, alto recorder, tenor recorder, lute and voice.

Oh, and I carved a little flute out of PVC. :P But since I used recorder fingerings for it, I don't think that counts as its own instrument. Only difference is that I had to learn how to make sound through a flute mouthpiece instead of a whistle mouthpiece.

I also have a crappy little ocarina that I bought at an airport giftshop... but I still haven't figured out the fingerings for it. :P

[CorpGovActivist]

44. You're a wunderkind!!!

That's the biggest glaring gap in my education. I plan to remedy, especially given how much I love music.

If you could only have one if you were marooned, which instrument would you take with you?

- Dave

[DarkTirade]

45. Ooh... that's hard to decide.

Am I marooned somewhere that has bamboo? If that's the case, I'd take my guitar with me probably, that way I can sing as I play. Then I could carve my own wind instruments out of bamboo. :P

And I don't know if I'd call myself a wunderkind... I think for that I'd have to be good at everything. :P I really should play my violin more often though. That was my primary instrument, but when I dropped out of college I stopped playing. Now I can barely stay in tune when I shift. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear CorpGovActivist!

Yup, I love the sound of my own voice...

I remember the first time I heard a recording of me...

I was in college, and had a French major...

I had to practice in a language lab, and to do that, I recorded myself.

Wow...that was my voice?

I know I blushed...

I'd had no idea at all...

Ever since then...well, what can I say?

It has given me confidence!

You have yet to hear me speak...so you have no idea...;)

[CorpGovActivist]

15. I'm sure you give lovely readings, too, my dear Ms. Peggy!!!

How was your trip?

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. I had a ball! Have a look, sweetie:

[Inchworm]

7. I think I sound goofy

I dont even recognise my voice if it is recorded.

:hi:

[CorpGovActivist]

21. So, do you make up a voice in your own head?

I have a friend who does that.

:rofl:

[Inchworm]

24. Not sure.. I mostly just cringe

and say.. naw.. that's not me.. I don't sound like that.. st00pid recording stuff is faulty :D

:rofl:

[CorpGovActivist]

27. Apparently, you're allowed to make up a sexy voice in your own head...

... according to my bud.

[Inchworm]

33. I'll have to try that

sure beats what I actually hear.

:P

[CorpGovActivist]

36. Just don't forget and actually use it out loud.

There are laws, after all, as Britney has learned.

; )

[BarenakedLady]

32. You probably sound like the Marlboro Man

Or Gomer Pyle.

:yoiks:

[Inchworm]

38. Gomer Pyle

with a sock in his mouth to add deep. :D

:rofl:

[SacredCow]

8. Noooo.....

Every time I hear a recording, I wince... "I don't really sound like that, do I???"


:hi:

[CorpGovActivist]

23. ScaredCrow!

:hug:

:nopity: <----- I shall play for you, and we'll see if it's better when you screech along

[SacredCow]

63. hehehe...

I don't know if i'm THAT bad..... LOL

[lost-in-nj]

13. NO!!!!!!!!111

I HATE, HATE, HATE
to hear ME


lost

[CorpGovActivist]

28. Make up a sexy in-your-own-head voice

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. I love the sight of my own typing.

[CorpGovActivist]

29. Is every semi-colon 'just' so?

[Fire Walk With Me]

46. Yes, and the :rofl: emoticon means that I'm having a special moment.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. No, I sound like Ben Stein.

Minus the politics, of course.

[CorpGovActivist]

31. Bueller.

[grannylib]

34. I do a lot of training and public speaking, but I cringe at being

recorded. I've been asked if I've done radio or TV, and no, neither, and I have no problem with TALKING in front of others; just don't ask me to listen to it again! I always thought I had a "weird" voice, and people look at me funny when I say that. I don't know what it is, but I hate it.

[CorpGovActivist]

40. Never quite understood that phenom, but I know others in your boat.

[LaurenG]

37. No, but sometimes I get off on the click -click - click of the keyboard

:rofl:

[CorpGovActivist]

41. I feel sullied. Somehow.

:rofl:

[lizziegrace]

42. I hope Oedi like his voice

I do. His FM DJ voice makes my knees week...

:swoon:

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. Oedi is quite fond of his voice, thank you

He's also, admittedly, quite aware of its... potential.

[lizziegrace]

51. It should be registered

and a warning should be required...

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

55. Ah, c'mon

It ain't that good. :P

[lizziegrace]

56. Uh, yeah it is

Thomcat would agree with me. ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

57. Yeah, well...

He wears red jammies. With a flap. :D

[lizziegrace]

58. ...

:P

[miss_american_pie]

47. LeftisWrite has a great voice

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

59. I've been wanting to find out about that

With her radio background 'n' all, the possibilities are... intriguing. :)

[Haole Girl]

48. I have a very nice voice

I'm very modest about it, too!

:rofl:

Ironically, I can't sing, if my life depended on it, though. :-(

[stuntcat]

49. NO.

I talk to myself when I'm alone but I can't hear my voice like I can when I listen to a recording of it.

[fizzgig]

53. i hate it

i cringe whenever i hear it on tape...i think i sound too nasal. but a lot of people have told me i have a sexy voice :shrug:

[THUNDER HANDS]

54. i sound like a 12 year old boy on tape recordings

it's rather embarassing. And when I get upset, it gets even worse.

[mwdem]

60. No! I sound like a nasally S. Jersey-Southern mess!

I'm always horrified when I hear my recorded voice.

[libnnc]

61. Oh HELL no

I sound like a 12 year old hillbilly with a head cold.

I've got an accent I can't lose (nor do I really want to). I sound horrible!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

62. Sucksucksucksuck.

I despise my voice.

:puke:

[abq e streeter]

64. I usually hate hearing myself on tape, but

did a live in the studio rockabilly recording about 8 years ago, that has about 8 songs (out of 20) that I actually don't think I sound too bad, and still listen to occasionally...( and then obsess about the handful of bad notes in those 8)
