    Are you blessed with a Morgan Freeman voice or cursed with a voice like Louie Anderson?

    Horrible.

    In my head, my voice doesn't sound bad, but Jeez Louise, if I hear a recording of my voice it's horrible.

    I hate my voice. I hate my accent. It's not nasally annoying like Louie Anderson. But it's not particularly deep, and it's just kind of a normal boring hillbilly voice.

    Deep, sometimes gravelly voice, Australian but not Ocka. I dunno what celebrity comparison there would be, I probably sound close to Chris Hemsworth/Sam Worthington/Russell Crowe I guess, all us Aussies sound alike right?

    I have a deeper voice.

    It doesn't sound that way to me, but like if I hear myself on a recording, I'm like "omg no". So I purposefully try to talk in a higher pitch because I can't stand the sound of my actual voice.

    I know what you mean. To me, it sounds like I need to go through second puberty to reach as deep a voice that I actually have.

    Deep voice, but not super deep. I can go high if I want to.

    I sound like a Midwestern cracka.

    This, pretty much. I find my voice on a recording to be unbearably boring. I'd probably fall asleep listening to myself talk.

    I think most people hate listening to their voices on a recording, since we hear them differently when we say things. Unfortunately, my voice is high-pitched and sounds like a kid when speaking over an intercom system.

    Oh. Yeah.

    And I kind of have a southern accent. I tend to exaggerate it more when I drink.

    It used to be really bad, before I moved to Nashville. But then kids were making fun of it so I worked really hard to get rid of it for the most part.

    I miss having it now, even though people can always definitely tell I'm not from NYC anyway.

    It's pretty amusing. When we were buying my new purse, the sales ladies were going nuts.. They were like "I could just listen to you talk all day long." It was awesome.

    When I moved to Montana as a young'un I soon realized I didn't always sound like the other kids. In particular the stereotypical Pacific Northwest really came out in the way I said words like "bag" and "wagon". ("bayg" and "waygon".) I actually got made fun of a bit for that one so I retrained myself to say those words "correctly". I suppose you can't beat your first dialect completely out of you, though, because I still use certain terms that are real Washingtonisms. Like "potato bug" for pill bug.

    Apparently when I get loud I have a bit of a Montana drawl. (different from a Southern drawl tyvm ). I am occasionally picked on for that, too, despite, you know, living here. But it's all in good fun Also I've picked up Montana's habit of using the word "anymore" in situations that would make most English speakers squirm; i.e. "rent is so expensive anymore!"
