Hearing Voices

Long back, when the very early nokia handsets were new here, there was an add on on sale at many of these shops - which they claimed could convert the speakers voice into the opposite gender. I never tried it. Much later, I read about voice modulating softwares (when I was involved with another team who was doing vocals for a Video CD), and it was then that I got a first hand experience of what magic these applications can do.

I agree with you . My friends always tell me that my voice sound like a teenager on the phone .

I remember once, a long time ago, I met a young woman by phome. She was asking for a post as a part time secretary for my husband. Both my husband and I fell in love with her voice and hired her immediatly. It turned out that she wanted to work to pay for singing lessons as she wante to become an opera singer. Fortunatly she was also very nive, but she had nothing to do with how we imagined after heareng her voice.

I got that a lot in call centres where we were not allowed to sell to under 18's. I'd sometimes think a potential customer was a kid until I asked their age and found out they were in their 60's or older or vice versa

Several times, and I think it must have happened to other people too when they talk to me on the phone.

I find that with radio personalities. Their voice usually never fits their face

People absolutely never look like you think they will based on their voices. I was surprised to meet the grandmother of my son's friend. On the phone she sounded much older, and when she showed up, she looked more like a member of the Mod Squad.

I do recall that happened to me one time. Boy was I shocked lolz

Yes I have and it is usually quite a surprise when you see what they actually look like. Most recently it wasn't the phone but some back and forth emails with a guide in Ireland and when I met him he wasn't at all what I had visualized.
