I do. Here's an article on why some of us feel this way.

I cringe when I hear a recording of my own voice.
There isn't a single thing I don't hate about myself.

Well, then I guess you didn't need the article.
Yes indeed Bruce. I do cringe at the sound of my recorded voice. Damn, I had not known that I sound like a poorly educated guttersnipe.
Lately I have observed that I actually form words in my brain that are of guttural, or often clipped of proper consonant or vowel sounds. Words like "there' become 'thur". I am not happy about my fall from grace.
On the other hand, I will be ninety one this month and I might not really give a damn anymore.

At almost 91, the fact that you can form words at all is quite commendable.

90 is an honourable age.

It's not me on tape. It's some kind of devil.
I may've said this here before...when I was in the sixth grade and a reel-to-reel recorder was a novelty, we were offered turns to sing into the mike and listen to the playback. When I offered myself, the teacher told me that I didn't have to, but I insisted. Casey Jones, in case anyone is interested. Horrible flat voice, and I looked around the room at all my classmates in shame. I have prefect pitch and can whistle a tune right on key. I also have a fine countertenor. That same teacher put me in the a cappella part of a school musical, with the girls because of that. Never mind that I was embarrassed about sitting with girls when singing (because of the high pitched voice), I was sitting with girls around me! 8)

Lucky bastard.
I sound like a castrated duck on tape.
