I don't know what I sound like. A few of us had this same conversation on another MB recently, and ended up phoning each other up to put an end to all the curiosity about each other's voices.
Apparently I sound a bit posh - typical English Public Schoolgirl - but I just think I sound very, err, ordinary really. No discernible accent or anything.

I sound nothing like Kevin Murphy, he's a tenor. Although I have more of a tenor timbre than a baritone timbre in my singing voice, I think. His speaking voice is also a lot fuller than mine; I speak almost entirely in my nose (one of the few things I blame on growing up in Minnesota).

I have an excellent speaking voice. It's deep and resonant and I get asked everyday if I do voice-acting/radio/commercials (the head of a large ad/brand-agency in SF remarked to me: "my wife would buy anything from you"). Fortunately, I've finally got over the notion that it would be like sinking to the level of a dumb model on Baywatch and I'm starting to get into working it (residual income's where it's at - hopefully). I can carry a tune too.

YAYAYAYAY (and I never thanked you properly for the other cd, which was very rude, because it's ace. If we are ever at the same FAP then I owe you a drink or several.)
I sound like a pissed-off seven-year-old (possibly a boy but I think my voice is too high) whose accent is a bizarre collision of places I've never lived in. Great. Please can people phoning here stop asking if my mummy is in? Or sounding surprised when I tell them that actually I am eligible for their credit cards or competitions? Mope. I can't sing either, which has been distressing me this evening as I attempt to yowl along to my shiny new Stereolab BBC Sessions cds.
I also sound really posh inside my head, but apparently not to anyone else. I'd always felt a bit awkward about how posh I thought my voice was, so I was simultaneously horrified and delighted when I heard an answerphone message I'd left and it was grumpy and distinctly non-posh in an "OO ARR FUGGIT MOI TRAIN IS NAH' EEERRE UHM ZO ERR PICK ME AHP AN ARR LAYHER WILLYER erm kthxbye" [or maybe not quite] style.

Hey, Spencer, I get the 'do you work in radio/voiceover' thing all the time as well -- was wondering if I should pursue the voiceover part more thoroughly. I think I might have to talk to you more about this! :-)

This guy in my govt class and I ran into each other at a party this weekend. He was all sketchy and nervous, and asked if I'd called into Dan Savage's podcast 3 weeks ago. I told him I hadn't, and he explained what it was: a girl who sounds just like me, same details – 24, dating for 3 years, gonna get married, shit libido/sex life. Dan told her GET OUT NOW and that he thought she might be gay. This guy, too, he'd thought I was a lesbian (everyone does) because of "how I put my clothes together." well, it's true, that girl sounds just fucking like me.

I have been a little self-conscious about my voice, especially since Cathy said the other day that I clearly had the highest voice out of me, RJG and Ally C, even though it's true, I have.
― Alba, Friday, 2 November 2007 01:35 (eighteen years ago)
I like your voice too. I like the way it sounds like you've got something constricting your throat. And you're right, it is out of sync. You should see someone about that.

that's nice, man. seems like it's set up for a vocal, rather than being a stand-alone thing? love the samples (not really feeling that open hi-hat though?).
― hardcore oatmeal (Jordan), Saturday, 10 September 2011 14:57 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah, definitely intended as a track for vocals. Noted about the open hi-hat. I think I need a better hi-hat sound. Have kind of a limited palette atm.

I don't think I ever posted this. It's the only surviving video I know of of my old band -- a set we did at Southpaw in Brooklyn. The sound is bad, the video is bad, you can't see me at all, and it wasn't our best night, but I guess it's more or less what we sounded like:
