An observation...voice inflections

Just wanted to share this with all of you.  I know this may sound wierd, but since I have been on the Men's Board a while, I look at the picture and read what the guys say, and put my own voice inflection to the face.  Does this one make sense?  Since we never see each other in person and not knowing what the other guys sound like, we have to imagine what the other guys speech is like.  Just wondering if you guys do the same?  Brian

I don't think I do that, but until I posted YouTube link to a video of myself, everyone thought I had a deep Southern accent.

I live in Northern Japan, in a place that doesn't attract many Southerners, but the people from up close to and around Canada love it here. Most of my friends are from Wisconsin, Sasakatoon, places like that. Guess it feels warm here to them. Anyway, I've lost my Southern accent.

I sort of do that too.  Which one of us sounds like Fran Drescher?

Strange, I thought you all sounded like me. You mean you don't? Now I will think about it though. pan head

I’m a geeky-nerdy sounding cross between, Boss Hawg (the correct spellin’) & Niles Crane (from the sit-com Frazier) With an occasional touch of Ron White (from Blue Collar Comedy Tour) I’m an amalgam of "All of the South" Originally from Texas, Lived in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. (now) But, grew up and lived my life working in the Theater all over the country, So I have that "girly-Lilt" to my speaking voice That comes from one to many Shakespearean monologues in my youth, And speaking with "Artistes" most of the time. (to me, my voice is nails on a chalkboard. Right up there with having to see my self on film) This question does come up about every 8 months or so….. This question does come up about every 8 months or so…..Best Wishes- Dx

Brian, I've always been fascinated by accents and voices and have been imitating voices since I was a kid, so I know I 'hear' a voice when I read posts.  The brain just applies a voice to the picture I see.  I do notice, too, that that process doesn't happen for the posts without pictures.  It's not just you!
