Like Ask Me Anything, but without the dregs of reddit getting involved.

I would like you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

What do you look/sound like in your head? (if you're comfortable saying)

[silveradept]

I'd like to believe I have a nice baritone that can make me seem either warm or intimidating, depending on how I choose to shade it, and that when I talk, I at least seem like I have some wisdom.

Truthfully, though, I'm off pitch when I sing, so I probably actually sound flat, nasal, and not at all like someone who should be respected.

[sithjawa]

I don't think I've heard your voice, but I feel like in general a person can have a really warm/resonant/expressive voice and still not be able to sing on pitch.

[silveradept]

Entirely. I think it's more of an illustration of how my perception isn't likely to match up with the reality.

[sithjawa]

Oh, entirely. Although I'm not sure I buy the "you can never hear what you really sound like" thing... I figure a decent recording is probably as good a representation as any.

[silveradept]

Quite possibly. I can hear myself fairly regularly when I do announcements, and I still feel like I sound weird.

-raises hand- I still propose that you sound like Garfield (the comic cat) in real life. Every time I read what you write, I just hear that nice, dry, semi-sardonic voice, LOLOL!

[silveradept]

That's not a bad thing to sound like. Maybe sometime you'll get to hear it.

-SQUEE!!- Maybe! :D
