I did video practice while I was preparing for the biggest interview of my life… when I played it back, I literally started to throw up. So your answer is yes!😂

Yeah watching back my responses I couldn’t even focus on my answers because I couldn’t believe how awkward I was and how weird I sounded.

Yes, especially the ones where you only get one shot to record your response to a random question under time constraint. But you can watch the failure again if you want - just not redo it.

I'll just add all virtual interviews. Like being able to bomb, watch the interviewers face and disgust, then see my own reaction to their disgust in the "mirror" is a truly touching experience.

funny

I think it is normal. I think I sound like a chicken being strangled and blink waaaay too much. People tell me it is my imagination and I sound and look fine

When I listen to my own voice on recordings it feels like I’m 3 octaves higher than I hear myself, and it disgusts me. But then you have to realize, since you don’t care and you yourself don’t judge other people for what they sound like, you have to realize that other people are the same. They equally don’t care what you sound like
