Who likes their voice? I don’t know anyone personally that has ever heard themselves on a voicemail and said, “Wow, I like my voice!” and I am no different. What I think I sound like and what I actually sound like are completely different.
Recently, I’ve been recording video tutorials for our product’s FAQ page and I have to overcome my voice phobia. How am I doing this? Practice, practice, practice! I don’t have a voice of an angel but I’m sure people have heard worst. Plus, I’m my own worst critic.
I think the most important part is the message and it doesn’t really matter how I sound. Well, of course to some degree. I’m taking some advice and practicing. I’ve written down the scripts and recorded myself. It wasn’t perfect the first time, but that’s usually the case with anything.
I’ve been using Jing which I find pretty simple. There’s a pro version, but the free one has been suffice for now. Oh and did I mention it works both on Windows and Mac?
Happy video making!
