Interesting. The thing that is difficult for me is finding the right tone. Speaking in my own voice is much different, or was when I was younger, than writing in my own voice. My voice was high pitched, so even nasty had to be emphasized differently than someone with a lower tone. When working radio in the Army my voice and annunciation was entirely different than my normal speaking voice. My father in-law had a very bass tone that would make you shudder at good morning, and he was a great and gentle guy...mostly. Having to identify yourself as GORY STRIDER 28 and sounding like an operatic soprano just didn’t work, so I had to change my speaking voice to something a little deeper and more clear...especially since most of the time I was the net control operator.
