In high school we had to do a project where we needed to investigate, prepare and then report a news story using an actual news stage, the local people came and set it up in our library.

I do, it's horrible.
You only think it is horrible, people who know you don't. I have sung in recording studios. When I sing, it sounds different and wow..is that me? (yes). When I talk, yikes...and yet others say my speaking voice is ok. I think we should recognize that our voice, people love and cherish and feel comfort in the familiarity of it. It is a wonder to be cherished.
