It takes time to adjust to new sounds, especially to new voices.
And before you know it, it’s as if you’ve heard that voice your whole life.
Before actually hearing a voice I have built up an audio
track of what I perceive that voice to sound like. And what I have discovered
is that it always sounds – in some degree – like me!
I have a tendency to fashion ideas and project my
perceptions based on what is in my head. Then when the real thing comes along I
have to make some adjustments. Then, it is all done. And before long, I can’t
remember what that previous voice sounded like again ... even though I used to
think it sounded different to me. It was me, but not me.
When the new sound is pleasant it immediately finds a place
in my memory bank and the old recording is wiped away.
I like voices. They bring new adventures with each cadence
and different stress on special words. Voices are more than words, they are individual
characters.
