So I saw your post in Suns post and watched your episode of The Knot Live. You sound so different than I thought you would!

ExpatPumpkin

Wow!  Thanks for watching  I have to ask though - what did you imagine I'd sound like, and how was I different???  Now I'm very curious!!!

mags0607

which episode did you do?? I'm curios.

ExpatPumpkin

Mags - I posted the link in Sun's Question thread below.

I'm not sure exactly what I imagined you'd sound like.. Honestly, you sounded more normal than I thought (that sounds bad, but its not) I think I was envisioning some very mature, actress type of voice and instead you sounded like a nice, normal person.

ExpatPumpkin

Okay, that's better than "I thought you'd sound normal but you talked like a hick "  I was curious what you meant because I didn't think I sounded like myself on the show...  I thought I sounded different - I kind of cringed when I heard it  

But, I think everyone probably feels that when they hear themselves on tape, and I know I didn't sound bad, but it was still weird to hear what sounded like someone else's voice  Does that make sense?

We'll see what Sun says about how she sounds if she does it

nda_roxybabe

Yes, I always hate how I sound although I've started to like it more. I can tell my voice has matured. It still never sounds like me though.
You definitely did not sound like a hick but did I hear a little accent in there?

I was hoping Roxy would say like "well, I wasn't expecting you to sound straight out of Brooklyn."

Because, forgive me, that would have been hilarious.

Rosy - It's funny you said that, because I do it too. For example, Sucrets sounded differently than I had imagined she'd sound when I met her in person. I can't describe how she sound differently, but I had an idea in my head and she sounded a bit different. Mag pretty much matched what I thought she'd sound like. I don't know what it is, but I look at a picture and find myself wondering what people would sound like.

<div>Yes, TJ, that would have been funny!  And shocking, I agree ;)</div>

gg- Rosy? I like it! Sucrets sounded different than I imagined as well (granted I only heard her in her musical clip from FB). I would imagine you are soft spoken but you said the other day you always talk loud.

Tj- hahaha no. That would have been AWESOME though.

Expat- Yea, it sounds a teeny bit southern. Well, people always say I have an accent. Pretty sure Alaskans don't have accents. I've been told I have a southern accent (from my year in SC?) a boston accent (I do when I say "box" "Coffee", "I know", "home" and some other words) and an unknown accent. Weird.

kate51485

Hahaha I love KA's cameo toward the end...

sucrets4

gretch - you sounded different, too!  I think your voice was higher than I imagined.

And whit's voice was a southern as I thought, but with a pretty and lyrical quality.

ggmae

I think that's what it was, Sucrets. Yours was a bit higher than I expected. I can't exactly put my finger on it though.

Roxy - You are catching all of my typos lately! ;-) I type and post faster than I can read, I guess! I have a video posted on FB called Lots of Rain and I speak in that. And yes, I am very loud. If I'm speaking quietly, it's because I was told to and/or I'm trying extremely hard to do so.

kate51485

Hopefully this isn't weird, but Sucrets, in your musical videos, you sounded pretty much like I thought you would. 

I don't know what people think I sound like, but I think my upper midwest accent may surprise people.  I've lived on the east coast for nearly 3 years now and people STILL comment on it frequently.

nda_roxybabe

Gretch- I know, maybe because you rarely have typos. That and I was confused for a second as to who Rosy was haha. I'm going to listen to your video, I'm curious now..

jasmineh7777

I just watched it too. You are British in my mind...I have no idea why that is.

ggmae

I've had quite a few typos lately! I can't blame drunkenness or lack of sleep though, so it's all on me. Haha.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Roxy, you don't talk like Sarah Palin, do you?!

sucrets4

kate - that's good to know!  I even impressed myself with my diction in those videos, lol.

gretch - that's weird that you thought my voice was higher.  I was really upset a few years ago because it all of a sudden felt deeper, but my voice therapist (I had nodules) said that it was fine.  I think I try to speak higher since it's healthier.

nda_roxybabe

Mery- Not at all. Not even close.

JessAndTrav

I also thought that you sounded differently from what I expected. But like roxy, I have no idea what I thought you sounded like.

As a Texan that tries to to be as un-southern as possible, I thought that you didn't sound like a hick at all.

ggmae

Sucrets - And it's funny you said the same about me. Some kid I dated in 7th grade told me that I sounded like a man when I called him one day, so I've always thought that. Stupid I know, but it's stuck with me all these years!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Oh hey, thepinksuperhero was in that clip too.

People used to confuse me and my brother on the phone when we were kids, and I don't sound a bit mannish. Everyone hates their own voice since ti sounds different in your head. But when I did radio radio I got used to hearing myself recorded. I still don't love it, but I'm used to what my real voice sounds like.
