Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

John Higham asks, Do you ever get used to the sound of your own voice? Whenever I hear a recording of myself I cringe.

Yes, it is something you get used to. The thing I found awkward when I first started this show wasn’t hearing my own voice, it was recording myself talking when there was no one around.

I was used to recording podcasts where I was having a conversation with someone else but not recording something when no one was around.

However, I realized that if this show was going to happen, I had better get over the awkwardness pretty quickly, so I did.

If you find the sound of your own voice odd, it is just because you aren’t accustomed to hearing that way. If you do it a few times, you’ll get used to it, and you won’t think about it at all.
