“You Had Me At Hello”28 Oct
Don’t ask me why, but I like calling people better than e-mailing them for information.
Call me backward, but listening to someone’s nice sweet tone at the other line instead of staring at words on a screen seem so much more friendlier.
The best thing about calling other people – You can play with your voice! This may sound rather deceitful but trust me it’s not & of course, the intention is not meant to cheat (in fact it’s REALLY just for fun!).
Over the phone, you can sound Grown-up (with a firmer voice) Or a macho man (with a deep-setting voice) Or a Mr. Know It All (with an uppity tone) Or just play Little Miss Enthusiastic (& add exclamation marks at the end of every sentence!).
Why? Well, I discovered plenty of things about myself, like how I communicate with others, by experimenting my tones & sounds to suit what I want to say. And the best thing is, because usually the person on the other line is someone that you will only speak to just once (like a bank customer service officer), it doesn’t matter what kind of voice you make, they wouldn’t mind!
You can even try out fake accents! I for one, usually do this when I’m bored & up for mixing my work with a little bit of fun!
Happy Accent-ing!
Here’s to funny sounds,
