No, but then people are kind and say it sounds okay to them.

Nope, but then, I don't think many people do like the sound of their own voice when they hear it recorded anyway.

No.
I've never met anyone who likes the sound of their own voice.

Nope. Niet. Nada.I do not like my voice.

When I get enthusiastic or frustrated it gets all high pitched and warbly. I'm sometimes mistaken for a woman becasue of this.

When I get tired and lazy, it goes down into low registers and I've been told it's calming but mumbly.

When I record it, it's all nasal and it doesn't surprise me that for much of my life people have thought of me as being 'slow witted'

I have been recording books for the blind for the last three years. I have improved my modulation, pace and enunciation so I am pretty well satisfied with my voice.

I speak in a monotone most of the time (which I'm trying to stop) but people have always told me I have a deep, sexy voice

I hate the sound of my voice. To me, it sounds high-pitched and nassally. A lot of telemarketers think I'm under 18 when they hear me, which sometimes helps in that case .

No, I usually have to repeat myself 14 times these days for anyone to hear me. I have the type of voice that gets higher when I am attempting to be friendly but can get deep when I am indifferent or tired. I have told I sound sexy when I don't give a s**t. f*****g people.

I hate my voice! It's medium-pitched, very loud and very monotone. Even when I try to make it sound expressive, I can't! It's also extremely difficult for me to talk quietly. What I consider whispering is what other people consider talking normally. I also have this annoying tendency to drag out the last part of the last words of my sentences like thii-iiis. I want my voice to be high-pitched, expressive and my words to be enunciated briefly. The way California women speak (on TV at least) is a good example.

I don't like my voice very much, it sounds very strange to me. I think most people think their voice when they listen to it on a tape recorder or something.

Yes and no. I like that it's unique, and I like that people find it soothing, but I personally think it's too deep. Plus, I'd love to be able to sing well, and I've never been able to do that.
