Have you ever deliberately changed your normal speaking voice?

[Sandyoldshoes]

Just wondering?

Whenever I hear my recorded voice it sounds so annoying!!

I’ve been playing with my phone recording different voices and I reckon a few small changes and I would sound much better. But will people notice or think I’ve gone mad?! Will it sound fake?

If you have done this please share your experiences!

@AmyDuPlantier oh, it is amazingly comforting to know this happens to other people. Thanks for sharing.

Like a pp I copy other peoples accents when dirk to them. I have to dampen my natural accent as I got slagged horrendously when I went to Glasgow for college/work. The accent returns when I speak to my family.

I’m northern- mine sounds squeaky and a bit wet on recordings.

I deliberately adopted a "BBC English" accent because I wanted to get rid of my northern one. I can still drop back into broad scouse when it suits me. I can do this so successfully that I can answer the phone in one voice and go to see if my employer is available, then answer in my BBC voice. I can also do quite a good mid western US accent from when I went to work there. Ive had hours of fun doing this.
