I recorded a voiceover four times today and still hated how I sounded. Every version made me cringe. I know it is part of the job, but hearing your own voice back is a special kind of psychological warfare. Does anyone actually like how they sound on air?

I'm so happy this isn't part of my job. I absolute hate the sound of my voice. Even listening to my voicemail message makes me cringe. I don't know how you all do it.

Not easy for me either

I get it. I'll hear myself and think, "Do I REALLY sound like that"?

Apparently you and I both have that... wonder if everyone feels the same way about their voice

I feel that. just focus on the fact that everyone else hears it differently and does not notice what I am obsessing over.

I’m lucky enough that I don’t have to do this but I can’t stand the sound of my own voice, I won’t even send voice notes hahah

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
