Do you listen back to your audio?
A short and sweet one for you. Do you listen to your audio back? And why or why not?

I'm laughing because I'm guilty of not always listening to what I've said. It's something about my own voice. I just feel like I don't like the sound of it or it sounds my voice is very heavy and it fluctuates and I just sometimes I just kind of very subconscious. So I started to listen more of what I put out on audio because those are my words, my truth, and I speak it

So for reference sake, or just a giddiness, when someone responds to my post, I want to hear what it is they heard, because for me, at times when I record a lot, it's a stream of consciousness, so to speak, where I will forget what I had said and I have to go back constantly to remember what I said. Or it's fun sometimes to even navigate through a person's response, what it was that I said

I've got a 36 year old woman in my class who has literacy issues, and I've taught her this method, and her writing has improved significantly because she just misses words. Skips ahead. And I get all my students to read out aloud, and they love it. I read aloud to them first. And people love being told something. To hear a story, it's very soporific it's relaxing. It's
Hi, Christina. So, yeah, I'm totally guilty of doing this, but my reason for this would be I want to know what the other person is hearing. Like, am I properly audible or am I understandable or not? So that would be my reason for doing this, but I totally hate listening to my recorded voice. I would say, yeah. Thank you. Bye

Hey there. Yes, of course I listen to my own voice, Olive, multiple times. So, so many times. And I just think how like in a natural in a neutral, completely neutral true situation, how do I sound? Like, if there is someone who doesn't know me at all, what do you think about me? Or she will think about me close to my voice. Do I sound weak? Do I sound strong? I or stuff like that
Hi, Christina. I got to say, I rarely listen back because I think everything that I send out there is spontaneous and, oh, well, what the h*** kind of stuff? So it's just I throw it to the wind. I probably delete more and rerecord than I would ever read back. But then also, in the text that's typed out, it rarely gets me

I've received feedback from people up here where they're like, you commented on my post and you didn't answer the question are you commented on the post? But that's not exactly what I was talking about. Or You've commented on the post and they might have misconstrued what I've commented on their post. But you know what I'm like. I'm up here to participate and contribute to this well, and I don't know how the algorithm works

I just love the responses to this. I mean, I've learned a lot from people who've responded and it's just such a simple question. I'm glad to hear that. That I'm in good company and that I listen back to my audio and like Georgie. My reasons for listening back is so that I can hear if the audio level is okay and make sure my PS and s aren't popping and all over the audio and just kind of for the technical aspects

And again, I'm just trying to be more natural and spontaneous, but at the same time, I want it to be pleasant isn't on the receiving end as well. So good question. Thanks for what you're doing. Bye

I already put it out there. Why am I listening to myself again? I don't know. I think it's a waste of my time. Time. So I think I'm going to stop doing it. It's just silly. I like the question, though

I totally listen back to my audio because I want to see whether I made some mistake. Olive I think in one of the responses I sent to you, I said the wrong president. I meant Richard Nixon. And I said something else, I think, or it was was the other way around. And I think if mistakes like this were made, I can go back and in the edit, I can clarify what the mistake was. That is primarily why I listened back to the audios

I'm an artist. Pleasure to meet you. I don't know what you're into. What are your dedications, dreams, wishes, aspirations? I'm just trying to open up a good shop by the resorts. I live in Dominican Republic right now. I'm based out of here today and see what happens
And then sometimes I'll play back a recording and I'll be like, what is that? It sounds higher. Or it all depends, of course. But there's times where I'm just like, what in the world is going on there? But anyway, it's definitely been an evolution for me over my voice
Well, thank you for your kind words. For what it's worth, I don't hear the quality that you're describing of holding your nose underwater. I don't hear it at there's no nasal quality there for me, but I understand with respect to the stream of consciousness, there are some days where my brain seems very ordered and neat and tidy, and then other days where it's like complete chaos and I tempt to mask it as well
Also, for what it's worth, I know that you're concerned about volume, but I haven't picked up on that coming across in the audio. And I don't know if that's because of the hardware that our phones or the mics or the speakers or the app itself or anything else, or you're modulating it in a way without realizing it. I have no idea. But what you run into from time to time is not coming through. At least not from my perspective
Oh. You know what that sounded like to me is sometimes when we're handling the phone, if fabric or a finger rubs across the mic, it'll create a sound like that. Maybe that's what happened
