|
1. |
Do you like the sound of your voice on the answering machine ? |
|
|
| If you answered
YES |
You are a rare bird! Most people hate the
sound of their voice on
the answering machine !
Want to know the reason why? It's because when you speak you hear yourself through two channels- through the bones of your head-channel 1 (an internal vibration) and through your ears-channel 2 (sound vibration coming from outside). In effect you hear yourself in stereo. Now...when you hear your voice coming back to you from the answering machine...you only hear one channel- that's right ..you're now hearing yourself in mono. And in anyone's books, mono doesn't sound anywhere as good as stereo! So that's the usual reason why people don't like the sound of their voice on the answering machine. However anyone can learn to improve the sound of their voice. Courses you could benefit from would be Personal Voice Coaching, Executive Speaking Skills, Telephone Tone, Special courses on-Accent Reduction and Elocution.
