Yesterday I was playing back a phone message and heard myself speak. I was so shocked. I came across as dull and monotone. There were uncomfortable gaps in the conversation and my speech was slovenly. So here is yet another imperfection that I need to work on!
I come from a working class background in South East London so you can probably imagine the kind of accent I have, but instead of having a fast talking chirpy cockney lilt, my voice just sounds uneducated and boring!
Thank goodness I am able to write as a way of expression as I can't see myself making it as a radio presenter any time soon.
