Ordinariness Follow-Up

Followup to yesterday's posting on Ordinariness...

Friend: One comment about your latest slog. I think we hate to hear our own voices because they sound physically different resonating inside our heads than they do to someone else across the room, or as recorded on a device.

Me: True, of course, but my point is that no voice would satisfy.

Friend: But I don’t wanna sound like a nasally white guy

Me: Whatever you wanna sound like is unachievable by a mere human. We can pick apart indivdual aspects, but any presented voice would be picked to death. No perfection is nearly perfect enough to make us say “that’s me!”
