Cass,
I've hosted and been a reporter on motorsports radio talk shows for over sixteen years. Everytime I hear my own voice on the radio I think I sound ridiculous (my voice, not the content, LOL). But when I hear the other reporters their voices sound normal to me. I try very hard to hide my Pittsburgh accent, but it comes through big time.

Isn't it amazing, TFL? That is not the voice I hear when I speak. It is totally different. What the heck is that all about?!?
And boy!! How cool are you????!! Hosting a radio program...Very cool indeed! It must be a blast! And motorsports, no less, great fun!!
