That was astoundingly good! You have that "star," quality - style & masterful control over the power of your voice. It is marvelous! I'm reminded of the time I'd heard Ben harper say how he could never make it through one of the American Idol / Voice shows - because he doesn't sing that way, or like that. And I think that, that's what yours reminds me of: is someone who is authentic, and real; or "genuine!" : )
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 :D

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!). :D
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

Ok, apologies if I completely failed to make a poem (I remember I was trying to be clever and play with the rhyming pattern a bit)

This is phenomenal, Dante! :) This is like, better than most famous poets I've heard reciting their own work (though I know they're not getting paid to be, "orators!" per se~). . . I love your delivery: it's timing; & speed / pace, ('rhythm' as you say!)... It really is so good. Feel free to gift us with more, should it suit your fancy- ;) VERY Nice! :)

I think everyone hates their own voice, I personally think I have a sort of nasally lisp to my voice which makes me cringe when I hear it, and the one I posted is better than my usual.

OMG This is brilliant. Again, I'm jealous of the accent and how lively your voice is. Wonderful! :D The poem is really nice and fun as well. Thank you for sharing. Keep posting, please. If you want...
Lively? What makes a voice lively?

Mine is particularly monotonous, it sounds flat and emotionless, I think that's why yours sounds particularly lively to me. It's "entertaining", there is intonation and expression in it. :) Not an easy thing for everyone. ^^
Ah that. I intentionally taught myself that over almost 20 years of practice. As an aspie I wasn't very expressive when I was small and i noticed that very early and started working to fix it, now im told im a little TOO expressive at times... you just cant win.

I've never heard your actual voice but how you express yourself in words is truly a thing of beauty. I'm reminded of the biblical story of Mary taking a pint of expensive perfume, pouring it over the feet of Christ and then wiping his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

I know that I have been told the same about my voice especially paired with the slow drawling pattern.

This is a song me and my sister sing on any long car journey, and it reminds me of those happy times :) plus it's quite a positive song. 'scuse the wonky notes, but I just like to sing!
