Everyone thinks that about their own voice.

Not true. I am used to hearing my own voice, it's just that I hate the way it sounds.

Everybody does. This is because your bones and tissue vibrate sympathetically at lower frequencies, so the overtones of your voice sound comparatively quieter to you than to a recording, or to somebody else listening. This means that your voice will sound more nasally when you hear it in a recording.

I put the link too because the embed function seems to not be working for me but maybe it works for someone? And before you get any ideas about talent here, the poem is not my own creation!

EDIT: I made it public now so the embed works. Thanks to Matthew!

This praise is coming from a man who speaks Afrikaans with the voice of Lucifer himself - you should cherish it dearly.

The path to wisdom does, in fact, begin with a single step.

Where people go wrong is in ignoring all the thousand other steps that come after it. They make the single step of deciding to become one with the universe, and for some reason forget to take the logical next step of living for 70 years on a mountain and a daily bowl of rice and yak-butter tea that'd give it any kind of meaning. While evidence says that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, they’re probably all first steps.

...No, seriously, send help, pretty much everyone I know has gone away for reading week and I've just been poking around on here all day.

(also, I need a mic that's not built into my laptop)

Thanks, Carrie. Still, there's always a bright side, at least comparatively few people have had their water pipes straight-up freeze this year...

Yeah Arakiven, my wife hears your voice and goes, "So where's HE from?" and I go "Texas. I don't know where the accent comes from though."

My deep, seductive voice is something unique only to me. I was born partially deaf and had to get tubes in my ears when I was really young, so I grew up hearing everything wrong, and grew up pronouncing everything wrong thinking it was right. I can hear fine now but the accent remains.

It is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, I will never be able to sing baritone in an all men's choir and people sometimes have a hard time understanding me.
But on the other hand everyone thinks I'm foreign. All I had to do was learn the name of the current Queen of England and spell color colour, and everyone thinks I'm British except for the British.
