(no subject)
So today I had a doctors appointment because I think I might have tuberculosis. But then the doctor told me that I was just retarded and probably didn't. He gave me a test just in case and I'm supposed to go back on Wednesday for the results and a chest x-ray.
I then had my TV Studio Production class which in all honesty is totally fucking bitchin'. For lab we have just been doing rotations so everyone can learn all the roles in the studio and control room so I actually have a reason to show up each session. Today I was directing and directing in a control room is a bit much. I actually have to yell at people because my voice, as according to my professor is "very calming, smooth and relaxing." I was also told to sound "manlier" to which I chuckled. I don't really know if I have a default voice. I remember back in High School I was told that it was a deadpan monotone but now I think I have developed at least three different "modes" which I use depending on my company.
The first is my "friend voice". I use this one when I'm around people I am comfortable with like (surprisingly) friends, co-workers, relatives, etc. It's just relaxed and I am more prone to use more profanity and freshly-coined wordesque combinations like "cuntfuckingbastard" and Internet nerd slang like "zomgwtfzorz". My speaking also gets a very faint drawl that the other two voices don't have.
The second is the one closest to my old monotone voice. It actually is capable of conveying emotion now but it's still bland (this could just be because it's my own voice and since I hear it all day I get annoyed by it.) and particularly interesting. I use this one in "formal" situations like when trying to explain to a transfer counselor as to why I have ninety-something units under my belt and nothing to show for it or at work when I'm dealing with (most) customers. It's also with this voice that much of my dry humor and sarcasm comes into play. I revert to this voice to say something absolutely absurd because my assistant manager has an absolute inability to detect sarcasm and you can just see her brain trying it's damnest to "get it."
The third is actually when I just flub and make noises instead of actual words. More of a speech-pattern than an actual voice it can show up occasionally when I pull off a run on sentence and my my train-of-thought is so distant from the words that I'm saying that I am reduced to sound effects and hand movements. I also use it when talking in front of more than five or so people at once, girls I'm attracted to (this is not an absolute) or if I know that whoever I'm talking to knows that I'm just talking out of my ass.
It's 12:30 in the middle of the night and I'm writing about my voice. Seriously, what the fuck.
