What type of voice do you have?

[Shell Beau]

Is your voice deep, high, raspy, child like, clear, etc.

I have a sort of raspy voice. And you?

[KitchenWitch]

1. Kind of deepish and mostly clear for a woman!

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. I don't know. you'd have to ask someone who has spoken with me.

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

3. This can be a hard question to answer unless

you have a definite distinct voice!! :hi:

[progmom]

36. mellifluous, warm, and caring

a very nice voice indeed. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

43. Awww...stop. That's your voice.

I love listening to you on Saturdays! :hug:

[progmom]

44. didn't i just talk to you yesterday?

i think i know what your voice sounds like. ;)

[skygazer]

4. I hate my voice

I hate hearing it on the answering machine or a recording. It's deeper than most women's voices (I get called "sir" on the phone a lot) and to me sounds like Julia Child! I loved Julia Child but I don't want to sound like her!

[Shell Beau]

5. I hate my voice on answering machines too!!

I just don't sound like that in my head.

[Jokerman]

6. I command the voice of doom!

At least that's what my employees told me after one of the few times I got angry enough to raise my voice.

[TX-RAT]

7. My wife says, very deep and raspy

sorry, had to go check.

Too much whisky and cigars

[Shell Beau]

9. That'll get ya!!

:)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

8. I have a nasal Kansas twang

I hate listening to myself.

[Shell Beau]

11. Fran Drescher "The Nanny" nasal?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

15. Not that bad!!

And not "But I have diverticulITIS!", either!

[LaraMN]

10. Relatively deepish and very animated.

:shrug: I think.

[terrya]

12. I have a gay voice

If you were to hear my voice, on the phone or in person...

I sound quite gay. And of course, there certainly is nothing wrong with that. :-)

[supernova]

14. Were you Snagglepuss in a previous life?

:D



I have no idea what I sound like, slightly girlish I suppose, but my sister and I are similar. Callers often confuse us on the phone.... even her own daughter I might add! :D

[WCGreen]

78. I always laughed at that name...

Snagglepus....

Exit Stage Right......

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. weird and with a funny accent

[Texasgal]

16. People say I have a porn star voice...

especially when I answer the phone at work.

:shrug:

[supernova]

17. Does that come in handy?

I've always wondered.

[Texasgal]

19. Funny you say that...

I have had more Men ask me out on dates without even meeting me!

AND-

More Women getting angry or defensive when I have to call for their husband/boyfriend.

Guess it kinda works both ways.

[shockra]

20. Oy vey.

That reminded me of when I answered the phone right after waking up once, as a teen. It was a wrong number, but before the man on the other end hung up he said (in a very sweet and not ridiculing type way) "You keep on making those boys happy, now."

Sheeeeit. Creeped me out, once I understood what he was getting at.

I'm softspoken, but not with a sexy voice I don't think.

[Taverner]

27. Hmmm and whats the number for where you work

:)

[SarahB]

66. I wanted you to respond here.

You sound like total "California dude"! :hi:

[gollygee]

18. nasaly and midwestern

high

[cssmall]

21. My voice is. . .

moderate level for a male, undistinguishable if I had no accent, but I've got an Arkansas "Delta" twang and talk slowly and deliberately. But, when I get my dander up, I tend to have a growl. :D Otherwise, I have a slight lisp from my youth still, but it's faded very well. Overall, my wife said that sometimes I can sound like a Southern Gentleman, if I didn't curse too much.

[Devra]

22. child like/ high pitched

Most people assume I am younger than I am when they hear me on the phone, then again most people assume that I am younger than I am when I meet them in person. I guess my voice just matches my appearence.

I know that my voice is high pitched from chorus, where I was a suprano.

[Mojambo]

23. I've been told I sound like a younger, deeper Clint Eastwood.

I don't think so, but that's how a professional radio guy assessed my voice.

[Zomby Woof]

24. Deep

Not quite at James Earl Jones level, but I can take over a room.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Deep. Smooth. Resonant.

Well... smooth when I want it to be. :evilgrin:

I've been asked a hundred times if I'm a disc jockey, or told I should be.

[ChoralScholar]

26. Big, resonant. When it was healthy.

Now it's abused from teaching choir. Most of the time now it has the vocal-nodular crackle-pop.

[Ladyhawk]

48. Stop trying to sing the altos' and sopranos' parts. :)

That will do it every time. They'll figure it out eventually.

[ChoralScholar]

58. Believe it or not, it's not even that.

It's just overuse. Early in the year it's pretty bad, but gets better. Then I get lazy over the summer. And the whole cycle starts over again.

[Ladyhawk]

70. I'm sorry. Vocal nodes are the bane of choral directors.

I've sung in choirs most of my life. I had to take a break from it this Fall because I need to build up my voice after a surgery to remove two herniated discs in my neck (fusion, titanium plate, screws and all that).

My voice class this semester is mostly geared toward rehab. :) Then I should be ready to try out for the Symphony Chorus in the nearest "city," which really is just a bigger town. :)

I spent most of this weekend arranging a musical theatre piece for voice. Unfortunately, the piece I was working on before surgery--Brahms' "Von ewiger Liebe"--will have to wait until I've gone through rehab. :D It's a wonderful piece, though, and suits my voice well.

Drat it all, I have a cough tonight...hope it doesn't develop into something nasty. :( :( :( :( The last thing my throat needs is laryngitis!

[HEyHEY]

28. Newsy

I'm a radio news reporter/anchor

[GrpCaptMandrake]

75. When I Saw "Newsy" for a minute

I flashed on Les Nesman "Why that's the silver sow, Johnny." Sorry.

Any links to your stuff?

[Orsino]

29. Second tenor.

I, along with the choral director's wife, often made up the first tenor section of my college glee club. I could fake it, barely.

[Zuni]

30. loud, nasal with a marylandish tone

in short, I have a terrible voice

[progmom]

85. liar

your voice is just fine. :)

[NNadir]

31. I sound like a frog with laryngitis imitating a duck after smoking 5 packs

[Im with Rosey]

32. Hi all

I'm not sure I have ever posted here, you all seem like a fun group and sometimes it is nice to just relax and have fun. My voice is really deep for a female, most people think they are talking to my husband on the phone, at drive-thru's I get thank you sir, I even asked my daughter what man was leasving her a message on her phone when in fact it was me. Funny thing though, when I used to sing, way back machine, I was either really high soprano or a sang for fun with the boys singing bass.

[ZombieNixon]

33. I really don't know.

I throw so many weird vocal impressions into my conversations, I honestly don't know what my normal speaking voice sounds like anymore. My accent seems to change from day to day, sometimes hour to hour. :D

[ldf]

34. i have a nasal country twang

and it is SOOOOO embarassing.

and you should have heard me BEFORE i made a real effort to eliminate it....

but my fellow new yorkers thinks its cute.

go figure!

:shrug: (my favorite smiley)

and no, i'm NOT a native new yorker. ;-)

[HEAVYHEART]

35. I bet you sound very sexy

My voice is very low.

[frogmarch]

50. Hi all

This is my first post here in the Lounge.

My husband and kids say my voice sounds a lot like Lora Dern's in some of her movie roles. Here's a wav from Jurassic Park with Lora Dern as Ellie (the second voice) in which she sounds like me, I'm told...though I don't sound at all like that to myself.

[ghostsofgiants]

37. I don't know...

According to GirlinContempt my voice sounds hot, haha. Other than that, I have no idea.

[NMDemDist2]

38. I'm a whiskey contralto n/t

[Ladyhawk]

39. Mine gets "hoarse" when I'm nervous, usually when I'm talking to

someone about something serious.

Other than that, I have a deep, clear voice. I'm a singer.

LH

[WCGreen]

40. I have a voice like an angel...

I sing like Sinatra and I look like Garbo, if she were a he and 48 years old.......

[Shell Beau]

81. Ha ha!! n/t

[bridgit]

41. mine's high-ish, clear, child like...

it's often said i would be good for phone sex, i suppose it's all in the delivery cause every time i tell hubby, "spank me daddy..." he cuts my allowance instead

:rofl:

[Tikki]

42. Human....So Cal Valley.....

.. least thaaaht's what I've been told.



Tikki

[usedtobesick]

45. "deep sexy voice"

I even asked a "disinterested" party. I was a DJ in college on the night shift.

[intheflow]

69. I resemble that remark!

:silly:


Hey, check your pm. :)

[Omphaloskepsis]

46. I don't know.

I do know the answering machine makes me hide when I know I am coming up..

[really annoyed]

47. High, slightly childish.

I've been told I have a great voice for whining!! :P

[Shine]

49. My voice is clear, smooth and strong.

I've worked in ad sales, so I've done a lot of phone work in my day and have used my voice to my advantage. Many have told me I would make an excellent DJ. I also sing alto in a choir.

:hi:
Shine

[LisaL]

51. I have a child like voice. It's not that uncommon for me to pick up

the phone and be asked to call mommy or daddy to the phone.

[Beware the Beast Man]

52. Deep, resonating, sexy.

So I'm told...

[progmom]

53. yep!

:hi:

[Beware the Beast Man]

55. Thanks!

And for the record, I totally dig your voice as well. :D

[progmom]

56. ...

:blush:


thanks! :)

[progmom]

54. i guess i have kind of a deep voice

:shrug:

[El Fuego]

86. Everyone can actually hear your voice on Saturdays!

When you are On The Air.

[sundog]

57. i've been told deep

[progmom]

61. you have an incredibly kind voice

:hi:

[sundog]

63. you are too kind to me

:hug:

[progmom]

64. naw

i love your voice. kindness and wisdom resonate from it. :)

[Left Is Write]

59. Not too high, not too deep.

My favorite voice compliment I received when working radio was a listener who told me my voice was like velvet. (Someone else told me my voice was like a hot knife through butter.)

[CBHagman]

60. Clear diction, but I still hate my voice.

I'm all right with my singing voice, but I've never liked my speaking voice. It's especially bad on answering machines. I sound too young and rather depressed. :shrug:

My voice gets lower if I speak German, though. My old New York/New Jersey accent (non-rhotic, the works) has been smoothed over thanks to moving around and travel. My stepmother swore I sounded Irish after I got back from Europe, where I'd lived next door to an Irishwoman.

[Aristus]

62. Speaking voice: Slightly nasal tenor.

Singing voice: clear, soft baritone.

[SarahB]

65. Sort of high

Definite mid-westernish and soprano.

[enigmatic]

67. those who have heard me on the radio

say I have a Tom Waits/Nick Nolte voice going on; I guess that's about right..

[MrScorpio]

68. My voice was designed by the world's finest scientists to drop panties

Canyoudigit?

[GrpCaptMandrake]

76. Scientists drop panties when you speak? Kewl!

Girl scientists? Boy scientists?

Do Scientologists also drop panties? Are they allowed to wear underwear at all?

OK. Sorry. But ya gotta admit, it was there.

:silly:

[ofrfxsk]

71. Rather raspy. Think Lauren Bacall but a tad higher. nt

[Jamastiene]

72. Raspy and very deep.

Also very soft at the same time if you can imagine that. It's true though. I wish I could say it sounds like Kathleen Turner's voice ( I like her and her voice), but it's deeper and raspier.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

73. Give a listen

http://www.whiterosesociety.org/Kincaid.html

It's always hard to guage the quality/timbre of one's own voice.

[Breeze54]

74. Shrill, ear-piercing scream!!

no, really,
my voice is a song of sultry,soothing,solitude.




















NOT!
:)

[Hardrada]

77. Well modulated and well bred normally

Stentorian and piercing when annoyed or need to have myself heard!

[Rhiannon12866]

79. Low voice. Second to lowest in my speech class.

And I was once asked to be on college radio by a guy who just happened to hear me reading aloud to a friend. I got to do the news four times a week. But my claim to fame was at work. I was pronounced "sexiest voice on the intercom," LOL!:rofl::woohoo:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

80. Somewhat deep, flat, monotone, a man-from-nowhere accent.

If you've ever seen the cartoon "Duckman," I kind of sound like his assistant Cornfed.

[ContraBass Black]

82. Ahem.

I think I'll leave it at that. ;)

[El Fuego]

83. Kind of a high voice

When I hear recordings of myself, it sounds even higher than I think I sound.

[SmileyBoy]

84. Mine is 1/2 Nerd, 1/2 Gay.

Kind of similar to Bill Gates.:)
