Hello escapists, usually people on [these] forums ask what you look like in real life but I want to know what you sound like.
What does your voice sound like? Do you think you have an accent? Do you like your voice? I tend to imagine forum posts spoken in a neutral voice when I read them and that's boring; there are so many voices, speaking styles and accents out there that it's actually quite a disservice.
It's a sad fact that a lot of people don't like how their voices sound when they are played back to them, I know I don't, and I know several people who won't use their mics in games because they are worried about how their voice sounds to others. Post your voice here and see how people perceive it or just listen to how the rest of us sound and realise that perhaps your voice isn't quite so weird
Post an uploaded clip of you speaking or, those of you who areshowoffs overachievers, post a video you've previously uploaded that has you speaking in it.
Edit: Posters below suggest using http://vocaroo.com/ which seems much simpler than how I did it so it's probably best to do it that way.
I did it by using: Built in webcam to capture sound->audacity [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/] to cut out failed attempts and swearing after failed attempts->movie maker to add a picture->upload to youtube See the above edit.
*steps away from podium* So anyway, there's the mic, so let's hear you

I sound far, far, too posh when I listen to that, I probably shouldn't have cut out all the swearing and failed attempts.
Odd emphasis on "actually" is me deliberately trying to slow myself down (I usually speak at somewhere between double and four times that speed)
