I really don’t like to listen to myself on recordings. I've
always wondered why my voice on recordings is different from what I hear on a
daily basis. Rebecca Kleinberger in her presentation explains why there is discord between the sound we
hear and which others hear. She also mentions how technology is trying to
analyze voice to eg. predict disease like Parkinson or depression.
Questions:
1. Do
you like your own voice?
2. Do
you pay attention to other people’s voice? Do you judge them on this basis?

2. I don’t judge people based on their voice. Who does? Although I avoid people with annoying voice and make impressions base on their vocabulary or accents. Also, I read social ques people voice make although that’s not a conscious intent on my part. It’s just normal part of interactions.
Of course I don't judge people by voice but for me someones voice often is a part of first impression. We shouldn't judge people that way because no one chooses voice and we are simply born with it :)
I've always wondered why ;p
I honestly never judge people by their voice, but sometimes it's funny when a packed guy speaks with a squeaky voice.
I don't notice all parameters of other people's voices, but I definitely get affected by the tone, timbre etc.
Thank you for your opinion :)
I don't pay attention to other people's voices and I don't think that voice should be the focus of people's judgment.
It's weird for me to judge people based on their voice because it means literally nothing. Yes, It may be a part of first impression but most likely I will ignore this fact. Sometimes I may try to avoid speaking with someone whose voice sounds nipping or annoying but it really happens quite rare.
I don't care about anyone's voice only if it is not being squeaky.
I don't judge other people by their voice. I just tend to remember the most specific voices, which aren't comparable to any other that we hear.
I actually like my own voice. I like to sing a lot and I guess that if I didn't like my voice, I wouldn't be able to stand it. People also say that I have a nice and warm voice, so I think it's OK.
2. Do you pay attention to other people’s voice? Do you judge them on this basis?
Subconsciously yes, I guess. It is a part of one's appearances and we have to admit we do judge others by means of the first impression. However someone would have to have a really annoying voice for me to change my attitude towards them only on the basis of that.
I don't pay attention on other person voice but I don't like when people are talking too loud.
So yes and no. There are a couple things that we have to take into consideration.
If i already liek the person - i think he/she is smart or has valuable assets that bring something to the conversation i dont really care about the voice.
On the other hand you can have the voice of Morgan Freeman and if dont like you, or you are straight up dumb i will compliment your voice but still avoid you as best as i can.
In our era voice matters especially if our first interaction comes by phone then i think having a nice voice can be an advantage, sort of first impression even before you meet someone.
2. I pay attention to others people's voice but I not judge them on this basis. I have a ear for music so sounds are important for me but I don't think that we can judge people because of timbre of their voice.
Yes, I pay attention to other people’s voice, but I’m absolutely not judging them on this basis. If someone does, then he/she is very derisory…
You know, it’s no one choice, we just born with it. We have to respect that.
Not really, but I just used to it.
2. Do you pay attention to other people’s voice? Do you judge them on this basis?
No I don't judge people for their voice, but I can predict if something went wrong with my girlfriend, even if she says, that everything is alright. Because I know intonations of her voice, and can differantiate them.
Of course I would pay attention if someone has beautiful or notably unpleasant voice, but I won't if there is nothing special. Maybe laugh is more important for me, I hate the sound of someone's vexing giggling.
I’m trying not to judge people based on their voice however in some cases it can be hard to not paying attention to the voice if it annoying you.
I have a good story about this. I was in the invisible exhibition in Warsaw when sightless people show you how they live. Your tour is made in complete darkness, and you see your guide only in the end. That's why I had to imagine the person just hearing his voice. My reaction on the tour end when I had a chance to compare my imagination to the real person was like I was totally wrong. I imagined fat, short women but it turned out that she was taller than me and quite fit. This experience showed me it makes no sense to judge other people on their voice.
Not really, but I think it is because I don't listen to it very often and I simply hear it differently in my head. It is also hard to hear you voice clearly, as your friends hear you for instance, because technology has a big impact on how your voice is processed and the final result may be different from how you actually speak.
2. Do you pay attention to other people’s voice? Do you judge them on this basis?
I do pay attention to other people's voice. Moreover, I think it is only a little less crucial than someone's appearance when you meet one for the first time. I don't judge someone on purpose, but I think every human judge another on the appearance and voice basis subconsciously.
You divide your first impressions on other people in two parts, first is looks and second is voice, and I think it is not possible to not pay attention on their voices. It is weird to judge people by their voices, maybe you can make fun of some, but not judge.
I didn't pay attention to other people’s voice.
Yes, I love my voice.
2. Do you pay attention to other people’s voice? Do you judge them on this basis?
I don't care about other's people voices, I know that many people judge others basing on their apperance and I can understand it in some way but judging people because of their voice is absolutely irrational for me.
Yes, that was what I mean asking this question. I know that juding people based on their voice is as inaccurate as judging based on apperiance or financial status, but as I can see everyone avoids people with annoying voice.
Thanks for your comment :)
Ah, maybe judging is bad word. I think voise is helping us to understand, clarify and imagine with what kind of person we are talking with. Also it help us to identify many other things like, humor or if someone is in hurry etc.
Sometimes I do, but it's only when someone has a very characteristic voice. I'm not making fun of it, but sometimes it's weird, when someone has some kind of "special" voice. I do not judge people by their voice
I dont judge them on this basis, but sometimes i pay attention to it
I don't like listen my voice when i hear it on records. But when i'm singing i think is okay.
I pay attention to others voice but i never judged them because of their voice. How we can do this when they don't have no responsibility of that. I think that it will be unfair.
