I'm gonna go ahead and ask you what you do for a living.

If the answer is not Radio DJ or announcer, then I will be terribly upset.

my face is not looking good today and my microphone is broke so all I can do is make video.....so I will think about it.

Erm, no, I'm neither, sorry.

But why do you ask?

you have a DJ type voice, same cadence, you should go to broadcasting school, you could get financial aid I bet.

I get home I'll have to see about recording something. Honestly I've never gotten past the whole weirdness about hearing your own voice. It just never sounds right.

Really? Huh. Neat.

That'll come in handy if/when I go into politics, then. I knew I had SOME SORT of advantage.

I'm not interested in doing radio, though...I mean, if it comes to it, sure, I'll do it, but it does not really appeal to me.

Yeah, tell me about it. Everytime I record my voice it sounds stranger and stranger.

I know what you mean.
Radio always seemed a bit dirty to me, always hanging out in people's cars, their homes, large sporting events. T.V too.. would sooner flash a person than tell em the weather and digital cameras are all a bunch of voyeurs. I tend to plug-in with the classier electronic devices, like...voltmeters.

Apparently I have an amazing radio voice.

I've heard this from cabbies, math teachers, my uncle, and martial arts instructors.

Too bad I have don't have a mic so I could get NSG's opinion.

Bweeheeehee. I like you. You've been consistently funny.

Stalinburg: Mics are cheap. You should be able to find one in an electronics store for five dollars. It won't be very effective, but it ought to suit your purposes.

I was disconcerted to find my voice is a lot higher pitched than I had imagined. To me it sounds low and sultry. Sexy.

Wishful thinking. Too high pitched and a bit of a Texas accent. Eek!

I don't really have time to make a new one, so here are the ones I've posted before. :) They probably have lots of static though...

Do I sound like I have an accent? I mean like what kind?

I don't sound like this (http://accent.gmu.edu/browse_language.php?function=detail&speakerid=728), but I wish I did.

It's interesting, you can tell what the accent of the people who taught the man English were.

Ok, attached is a short sample.

this (http://www.hlj.me.uk/pure%20metal/PM%20voice%20march06.mp3) is a recording i did for another thread back in march last year. i'm gonna assume my voice hasn't changed too much since then.... plus i can't be assed to go find a microphone this time of night ;)

might record a new one tomorrow.

people used to say i had a voice for radio too. just hope people don't say i have a face for radio as well :p

in my head my voice sounds all deep and stuff, but when i hear a recording it sounds all nasal and high pitched to me :(

It's not polite to forcefully clear one's throat of mucus while recording for NSG. Still, that's the most hilarious foreign approximation to a Swiss accent I've ever heard. Do go on.


And no, the world really did not need yet another thread like this, most especially not without linking to the others, and even more especially not without the OP indicating willingness to link to the alphabetically ordered entries in their OP.

Can you understand it or you just think it's funny how it sounds?

(I don't know if you speak German or not)

I made this for my very first "watcha sound like?" thread back in, what, last year sometime, and it was the thing that clued people in to the fact that I am a giiiiiirrrrl. All I had was a pair of shitty headphones with a short cord, so I made it while crouching under my desk.

heh, i think that's probably a common complaint, the pitch not the accent. something about reverberations in the head amplifying the bass tones i think.

Thanks. The nasality of Quebec French doesn't bother me nearly as much as the rampant vowel bending they do. Although I will admit, I've been listening to Mes Aïeux quite a bit lately and am rather liking it.

Wow... Cree sounds a lot different than I expected. I thought it would sound more like an Asian language. It's got a soft-tone to it.

Cree is actually a very flowing language. You should hear the West Coast languages though...sounds, some very gutteral, that I don't even think I can HEAR properly, much less try to emulate. Dene is also fairly harsh, though not nearly as difficult to pronounce as Salish. Gwich'in is a Dene language...here (http://www.yukoncollege.yk.ca/ynlc/languages/index.html) is a site where you can hear various languages spoken in the Yukon territory. Here is another site (http://www.sicc.sk.ca/heritage/sils/ourlanguages/cree.html) with languages spoken in Saskatchewan (and some in Alberta, including Plains Cree, my dialect). Click on the language you want to hear, and then click on "common terms and phrases" to get to the interactive part.

Cree sounds a lot like Ojibwe/Anishinabe (whichever term is more correct). Should I assume they're related or is my ear just untrained?

The Ojibwe and Anishnabe are related to us...we literally call them our cousins. There are also variations of Oji-Cree which are basically Cree with slight regional variations in pronunciation. The sounds of Ojibwe/Anishnabe are very similar to Cree, but many of the words are so different, you wouldn't be able to understand them as a Cree speaker.

In Cree, a typical conversation opens with:
Tân’si? – Hi, how are you
Namoya nan’tow, ekwa kîya? – not bad, and you?
Peyakwân, tawâw. – good/about the same, come in/there is room
Ay ay. – Thank you.

In Anishnabe it would be:
Aaniin – Hi, how are you
Nimino-ayaa. giin dash? - I'm well, and you?
Nimino-ayaa, miigwech - Good, thank you.

Your language is both confusing and beautiful, Sin.

Looks about as possible to learn as Finnish.:D

I hear a bit of Ojibwe/Anishinabe around here, mostly from the local Chief making public service announcements on the radio. He starts out with a greeting and always ends with "miigwech", which I'd always wondered the meaning of. I've also seen a couple of billboards in Brimley, MI (near the Bay Mills reservation) in Ojibwe/Anishinabe. I wanted to take Ojibwe 101 (https://bulletins.cmich.edu/crdesc.asp?sid=161001&sub=Ojibwe) at my university this year, but there aren't many seats and they fill up quickly.
