Personally, I’m not a fan of either, so it’s always been a little interesting to me to run into people that are more averse to hearing a recording of their voice.

(Also is there a dedicated term for audio-only voice recordings? 🤨)

    I think I sound reasonable talking. On recordings I sound like the gayest, campest homo in the fucking universe.

    Even though I’m gay it’s still cringe af.

    It’s fucking hilarious to think I went years denying being gay but when I listen to my voice it’s like “WTF - it’s SO fuckign obvious!”

      Dude same but with my Mexican accent. I know I have a tad of an accent but it’s not bad in my head, the moment I hear my voice in a recording it’s like I’m listening to fucking speedy Gonzales or whatever his cousin slow rat was.

      Every time I hear my voice it sounds like I just huffed a liter of helium. Apparently my wife doesn’t mind but damn man. My shit is ANNOYING

      “Gay” voice is a strange thing. What it sounds like in the head is nothing like what it sounds like to everyone else.
