So...I'm not 100% sure what this thread is for aside from it being for communicating vocally.

It could help translate some of the stuff we read and write about to speech--so that might be helpful for inhibited people.

It could let others hear your voice.

It could let you respond to things verbally, rather than in writing.

All of my vocaroo recordings so far are pretty uncomfortable though--but I hope that with more practice, I might get a better handle of presenting better and monologuing better, which could be useful for explaining thoughts or ideas in speech--and so eventually socializing with people face to face.

This can also be used for voice exercises--like it'd be nice to make my voice less nasally and whiny sounding and more attractive, so it's kind of a whatever you want thread.

You could answer one of the posts here if you want--like choose a thread that you want to answer, and then make the message a vocaroo?

I almost forgot to link the thread I answered, and mention the op.

Edit: This thread's only been up for seven hours, but I'm going to just leave it in case someone else wants to use it--and do more of my own thing in a more personal vent thread.

Edit: I think I'll create a more personal voice diary, blog sort of thread for my own monologues and organization of my own public speaking--and then leave this here in case anyone else wants to use it.
I really like this idea but I also don't want to be talking to myself lol

@WickerDeer I hope you post more here too, so great!!

@DOGSOUP and @passionate - do it!

@Eset - very interesting- and now we know what an Antarctican accent sounds like. 🤣

So since going down the rabbit hole is so much more appealing than work projects, I did some googling... Your voice betrays your personality in a split second

And there are a number of articles talking about whether you can get clues about personality from someone's voice and what kind of judgements people make based on it. Then the more interesting part is, can you change certain things about your voice to make people perceive you differently?

A good example that I've researched in the past is Eleanor Roosevelt actually. In the beginning she had this weird accent, very shrill, difficult to listen to. she was shy and afraid of public speaking. She worked on it and tried to improve how she was perceived by working on her speaking tone. I admire her a lot because of her drive to improve in order to have better effect. And she didn't always succeed- even over time you can see some times where her speaking skills were improved and focused and others where she slipped back into the shrill accent looking down and reading her notes.

Example:

You can see introversion and difficulty with her mid-atlantic accent, especially in the beginning of her remarks here:

This is an example where she tried to focus on tone a bit better.

I don't know what to do about the sound quality. It's a bit longer than I intended but it's a response to some of your messages--I just figured I'd respond in voice.

I have to say I laughed and giggled quite a lot while listening to your recording because I relate to a lot of what you talked about. Also that sounds like a good insight about people being different too.

I want to try to reply later (because I have roommates and I am replying when I am out on my phone) but I don't think I'll be able to re-laugh in a natural way, so just communicating that in writing since I enjoyed hearing the story and found all of it relatable.
