I’m going to share a secret with you: I really don’t like the way my voice sounds in recordings.
So I was especially nervous when my husband and I were recently interviewed for a local CBC radio clip on home coffee roasting (clip is here: In Town and Out). In fact, I think that might be one of the biggest reasons I opted to sleep in and miss listening to it — deciding, instead, to catch it when it was posted to the website.
I’m thankful my voice didn’t sound as terrible as I was expecting, though I sure let my freak flag fly when talking about how my favorite thing about roasting coffee is the sensory experience of the sounds and smells (and it’s TRUE!). I’m just glad there wasn’t video…
…because the only thing I dislike more than listening to my own voice in recordings is seeing myself in video!




I seriously think you have a voice for radio Melissa! You are very clear and sound adorably Acadian.
LOL Thanks — I was so busy trying not to say “um” that my East Coast “oo”s got the better of me.
I was rather impressed with your radio voice to be honest! I have a fairly high pitched voice that does not translate so well to recordings of any kind- so although I can appreciate your concerns.. they were completely unfounded!
you do sound great!! sounds like a fun interview!
I might have to just get over myself and do an occasional vlog.
I’ve got something I am working up with one-size AIO diapers that doesn’t translate as succinctly to written form.
