Do you sound like Spock?

Post Reply New Topic

When you speak, do you sound like Spock from Star Trek?

Nope haha. Do you?

Not me, either.

I wouldn't mind sounding like him, though.

He's a very smart Vulcan/man, and has done lots of useful things.

How would I know, if I don't hear my own voice recorded anyways. Beside, I hate hearing my own voice recorded, and it's not because I think it sounds like Spock.

Yes - except with a British accent. And like Spock I rarely smile.

I fail to see the logical purpose of your question.

(oh, crud. yeah, sometimes I do....)

I did for many years, but then needed to intentionally learn a new speech pattern anyway and added inflection & pauses & much of the rest. It was exhausting at first, like yet another layer of compensation for other people's benefit, but then it just became part of my default pattern of such things, part of my 'social face'.

In tone and pitch?... No...

In phrasing?... Quite possibly. I have often been told I am cold for simply offering an opinion that is not tied to emotion but is the best logical course of action.

Affirmative, captain.

I tend to fall back on pure logic in times of emotional discomfort. Logic and reason are my safety net, but this really pisses people off and alienates me even further.

Problem is, I cannot help it.

I don't have the spock like voice but I have met someone who did lol

I sound a little like a combination of Spock and Seven of Nine. There's something appealing about Seven's clipped, efficient communication, and I often use one-word phrases to ask questions or get my point across, like, "Explain", "Clarify", "Irrelevant", etc. No one has ever commented on it so far, so I don't se it as a major problem. Part of it is scripting, which I find reassuring, because I always have words to fall back on for when I can't think of anything to say.

I don't talk much, but I have been called "Little Spock" as a complement from a good forum friend of mine.

Occasionally I tend to have a "Spock side" of myself. It ocatinally comes when I have a piqued interest in a certain intellectual or moral topic. Of course that means that I sound (and sometimes act/think) like Spock. My voice sounds like a mixture between Gandalf and The talking trees (also from LOTR) with the strong sense and devotion for logic and ethics that is reminicant of the wise old Vulcan himself, Spock.
