• I would just like to take a moment to let you know that while your Voice is pleasant to listen to and is excellent for Online Videos, most of the Comments I get regarding the sound of my own Voice are mainly negative…That Said: One of my biggest “Mental Blocks” for me when it comes to getting in front of a Camera and recording myself is personal insecurities regarding my really Whiney & Nasally Voice…It’s not that I’m “Camera Shy” but, rather, it’s more like I’m “Getting Made Fun Of For My Voice Shy”…Many of my friends are deaf or Hard-Of-Hearing, so they literally can’t hear at all (or, even if they can, not very well)—thus utilizing Speech-To-Text “AI Speech Transcription” Apps on their Phone whilst I’m speaking to them—and that definitely puts me at ease regarding my Hyper-Nasal Speech Traits…However, I meanwhile realize that much of my “Online Audience” would definitely be able to hear the sound of my Voice and might not enjoy the experience…Back when I used to actually Post Videos, I used to get tons of Negative & Hurtful remarks regarding the sound of my Voice, many likening my Voice to that of the Late-Great Gilford Gottfried (who was known for having provided the Voice for Iago in Walt Disney’s Aladdin and the Aflac Duck, as well as playing the cynical Principal Peabody in those “Problem Child” films)…One Comment said my Voice “Sounds Worse Than Nails To A Chalkboard In A Small Room Full Of Screeching Jungle Parrots”…It’s very difficult to recover from reading such remarks as that in the Comments Section…We all need to feel safe Online, for sure, and the fact is that I don’t always feel 100% safe Online (unfortunately), as far as Posting Video Content of my own goes…
