I installed an application on my iPhone that lets me make voice recordings. I thought I would try it out on the way to work, so I started it up and, using my Bluetooth headset, recorded a minute or two worth of my rambling on about one thing or another. Then I did the worst thing that I could possibly have done. I played it back.
Was that really my voice? Is that really what I sound like? Do I honestly have that subtle "Wallace Shawn" lisp and a high pitched whining undertone? I am aghast, I am absolutely dumbfounded, I seldom listen to my own voice and to hear it just boggles my mind. I've had this voice all my life, and that is not my voice that I am hearing when I speak. It simply can't be, It's not possible. It's inconceivable! Inconceivable!
