I'm becoming more aware that i do not like the way I talk. I never did think I had a good voice, weird considering that I majored in English. People have this perception that Enlish majors are eloquent and speak with great distinction, that they generally like to talk. I wish I could only talk the way I write sometimes (I don't mean internet writing ). In real life I don't like to talk much because I think I sound horrible if not unpleasing to the ears. Ever heard a recording of yourself? Ugh! I cringe and say is that me? I wish I spoke with more distinction and authority. Love the rico suave low bass tone that some people have. My voice is almost nasal sometimes. I grew up in a Chinese-speaking household and having lived in Oklahoma in my early years doesn't help much. A bit of a Chinese accent with a touch of midwestern twang doesn't sound right.
