annoying voice anonymous

[bluecomputerscreen]

had to listen to myself on a recording for training purposes.
o.m.g. I have an annoying voice. I never realised. almost as bad as 'janice'.

I could never be a radio host or podcaster that's for sure. unless there is a weird market for it

anyone else?

No don't worry OP, it's just you that finds it annoying, you sound fine to everyone else. I've heard recordings of my voice and I sound annoying and ridiculous, but someone told me the other day that I'd be good at reading audiobooks because I have such a nice voice! It's something weird about listening to your own voice.

I'm speech impaired and absolutely hate my voice, to the degree that i've been known to issue disclaimers, apologising in advance !

I discovered that I have a slight lisp as well.
how did I never notice?

I have a total droning monotone when I hear myself on tape (and presumably all the time).

So I try to go the other way when I speak and give it a bit more life and fear I go over the top and sound annoying
