sorry I missed this. that is super kind, but I hate the sound of my own voice - I've accepted it, and accepted that it sometimes goes down well, but listening back is like nails on a chalkboard
thank you for your kind words
You know, I've heard about the science of this... but it's been so long, that I can't remember the particulars. Basically, I believe the way we perceive or hear ourselves speak, when we're speaking - is different from how when we're hearing it played back on some other means, medium or channel. If you ever look into it, it'll make total sense! I remember back in the 80's being alittle kid, and the answering machines back then had these little mini tape cassette recorders in them. And you'd listen to your messages that way (incoming), but also have to record one for yourself. Such as, "hello! you've reached the fill-in-the-blank, residence... da de ya di dah!" And anyway, I always always always remember how everyone felt so disgusted by the sound of their own voice(s) on there. For some reason, i notice it less now so with voicemails on cellphones~ go figure? Digital? Desensitized? ... Anyway your point is well-taken and clear, though hardly an incredibly unique stance to take. I've often wondered how it sounds to people performing live, or just speaking through a PA (if the experience is somewhat similar; that is to say - "foreign," only worse!).

That said: I stand by my words, you're a master of your craft, and in the absence of that (or what you may consider it to be), voice - vocals / chords. . . "register!") if i were u id be uploading celine dion number s & so on left & right! but i feel i've already done enough damgae here; which is why you probqbly didn't spot it in the 1st place! (; no problem-o..

peace
