Have u listened to a voice recording before?? You don't hear your own voice the way others do. Quite different actually... I know coz i have an awful voice.
-
Yes! I don't sound like that in the Sydney talk. OK, I sound more Essex than I realised but I'm not croaky or breathy.
-
Yeah but that wasn't a direct mic was it? What mic are you using here? The mic could make you sound croaky if its cheap/small or breathy if it lacks a windscreen... probably not important if you don't plan on doing lots of these podcasts tho.
-
I will get a proper one. I just want people to know I don't actually sound croaky or breathy.
-
Good grief, no.

You definitely sound a notch down on the class scale in this one, compared to the Battle of Ideas video. Lower-middles class as opposed to solidly middle class (although obviously still South-East of England).
-
University of Sydney, you mean? I don't think the Battle of Ideas one is up anywhere yet, is it? Quite possibly. I was more relaxed in this one, sitting on my own sofa and having a chat. I relax my accent too then.
-
It was certainly in Australia, so probably Sydney Uni. My accent can vary wildly ( RAF kid, lived half my life in England, half in Scotland) as well.
-
It's completely unconscious, isn't it? My parents are quite posh but my friends tend not to be so I go up and down the range.
-
It is. It took me a few years after moving back to Scotland, but I can unconsciously slip into thick Aberdonian (Doric) dialect again now, and then speak pretty posh English to someone else the next minute.
End of conversation

Are you sure it’s not your new glasses causing it? Lol
