    It’s hard to describe until you hear it, but most people say I sound fancy. As a kid I mumbled a lot and my mother would get horribly angry about it and scream and shout about “talking properly”, so as a result I talk slowly and have a bit of a news reader accent.

      Sounds like an asset to me! In fact to some people that would sound kinda sexy.

        All I’ll say is quite a few partners have enjoyed me reading to them.

      I feel like anyone trying to point out you talk “funny”, over and over again, is verging on being a bully or insecure. Or just incredibly rude

        I’m starting to think they are just rude, instead of overly curious like I thought they were at the start.

      So you have a radio voice. That’s GOOD. That’s a skill.
