Gopi Passiflora 422 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Sometimes people in Second Life think my voice is weird. I agree with them - I guess it's because it's still awkward for me to voice. So I'm definitely not a good voice actor. Link to post Share on other sites
Garnet Psaltery 8,034 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 People actually tell you that? How rude of them. I used to act with Voice but gave it up when my teeth became a big problem. One day that'll be fixed but until then it's no mic for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wulfie Reanimator 3,908 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 There are a lot of weird characters in a lot of stories. Having a weird voice is an asset. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Osforia 44 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have a thick accent and a disability. Nobody would understand me on mic. I do love unusual voices though. Really high and really low ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hexem 3,036 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Some people say my voice is nice and not what they expect. I still like to use that old line, "Face for radio and a voice for print". 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TT120 345 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I actually do have a "voice" I have been told all my life I have a deep rich voice that would be good for radio. I've also heard I have a face for radio too....lol 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rat Luv 1,355 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I don't know! I've never thought about it...I was once told I sound like a monkey when I laugh 🙊 My parents made me do speech and drama classes as a child, only because when I was younger, I used to mutter (from shyness) and people couldn't hear me...but I think some of you are being hard on yourselves, there is no 'perfect' voice! I read somewhere that the most requested accents for voiceovers in Britain are from Birmingham and Glasgow...and they are very strong accents to people from outside the UK.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Maryanne Solo 1,925 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 When asked to provide an alternative explanation/description of a technical issue that had been presented by a tutor to a class, upon finishing my short oration, one female student blurted out loudly, (in the middle of a class of mostly guys), "omg I want you to read me bedtime stories!" whereupon her two girlfriends yelled out YES!!! We do too! If I had been taking a sip of coffee I would have snorted it straight out my nose I was so taken aback. 😳 "You speak so beautifully" she went on to explain, with her friends nodding in agreement. Stunned and with the whole class, (including the tutor), in stitches of riotous laughter I replied "Well anyone can speak clearly, confidently and precisely if they put the thought and effort into it". followed by "thank you so much I am very humbled indeed". I had to exit the class I was so embarrassed and later in the lunch room the tutor jokingly asked "What's the story with you and the highlands girls"? huh? ^.^ HUH? and all the other teachers were like "ello.. ello.. ello.. wots all this then"?! 😮😲😋 And I'm like "omg give it a rest will you" laughing as they're all respectful married family men. But I only have an "ordinary" voice really. It's how you use it and what you say I think. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bree Giffen 2,987 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I think I have a clear voice with a good delivery. At least that's what my supervisor said when I used to talk on the phone for a living. I was pretty shy and not very talkative growing up so taking a job with constant talking really helped. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
