i once dated an ecuadorean guy (we both spoke spanish) who worked as an english interpreter and the first time i heard his english work voice it was traumatising
like
i did not know that man was inside you santiago
who are you
due to the fact that I can’t stand the thought of this I have resulted to either never changing my voice and speaking how I normally do, or simply hiring/tagging somebody in to perform on my behalf. I refuse to live within the code switch system! (I also just suck at it)
My boss’ tween daughter once heard me on the phone and when I hung up she said: So that’s what’s like being and adult?
When I asked what she meant, she replied: Being fake. That’s not how you talk.
I’m so baffled by work culture like everyone is being fake and knows that everyone else is being fake and neither person enjoys being fake or particularly wants to be around another fake person so why does nobody stop???
imkhushi Cause then if any party involved stops being fake, the gestapo (HR) gets involved and puts a black bag over ya head and you never come back.
I work with children so it would just be me screaming at the top of my lungs and talking like a sportscaster to get over their volume. A lot of my friends work desk jobs or quite voice jobs but I think they would be surprised how much of the day I’m literally yelling
I got that sorry to bother you corporate hr high pitch voice on the phone, and then when I hang up I just retreat back into a lower baritone lightskin voice with a Michael Keaton cadence.
