The Sound Of Our Own Voice

Do we dislike it because it sounds bad, or dislike it because it sounds different?
It can be a uniquely alienating experience to hear your own voice, a hardened proof that the world will never hear you as you hear yourself.
You cannot change that, only learn to love your voice as it is, and treasure the one sided experience you have with it.

I often wonder if there is a method in which we could record a voice, modulate it, and spit it back out so that it sounds as the speaker hears it.
How thrilling that seems, to be able to experience someone else’s voice as they do.
We have the staggeringly unique (on Earth) ability to convey our own inner worlds outwards.
We have the talent of comprehension, of understanding, of curiosity.

We should use them.
