    I can't really seem to decide, what do you think?

    No, that's ridiculous.

    Unless the voice shows clear hints of insecurity or cockiness, or whatever...

    Yet, the voice itself... no, not at all.

    No only the eyes can do that [​IMG]

    But you can pickup lies and falsehoods in someone's voice [​IMG]

    no, someone can be very charming over the telephone and be a complete coward in person, or obnoxious, even geeky or whathaveyou.

    I hate my voice over the phone. Everytime I hear a recording of myself, I'm shocked by the way it sounds. Wonder if that's the way I really sound and if I'm fooled because I'm speaking from the same head in which I'm hearing, kinda like how your look in mirror is reversed from how others see you.

    I sound like a five year old and I act like a five year old (a lot of the time)...so...in my case...yes :)

    Speaking patterns and tone, sure...but just the pure, actual voice itself?...Nah, I don't think so.

    i sure hope mine doesn't. cause i can't stand what it sounds like when recorded and played back to me, even on the best and highest quality of equipment. completely alien to what it sounds like in my head when i'm making sounds with it.

    normaly i don't give a rat about most of what other people call 'limp', but my voice sounds so damd limp, other then how it sounds to me from inside my head when i'm using it, that even i can't stand it.

    of course maybe i'm taking that use of the word 'voice' too litteraly. there's a non-litteral sense in which i've heard the word voice use, such as 'an artist's voice', that i'm not entirely certain i will ever completely understand.

    in that sense, while never entirely satisfied with it, at least its not so half offensive as my vocal apparatus litterally.

    I think it does, not entirely but it shows you in a way (not entirely) who a person is, but like they said before is the speaking pattern, the tone, the pace... that can show you who they are. I always think that you can learn so much more from the way a person tells you something than what they are actually saying.
    But I think there's no best evidence to who a person is than their energy :)

    Hmmm...know much about astrology ?does a sun sign teel you what they are like ?
    Does a person's hair let you see into their soul ?
    To truly Know another person you must look at and See all of them
    And if you leave out Spirit you leave out that which makes them Whole for without Spirit there is no Way to be whole

    So look at the Whole of me - and judge not for you then judge yourself.

    hope this helps

    Blessings along your Way

    Namaste

    Not sure. I don't think my voice has reached its full 'adult' level yet but...I heard myself on a home video from Christmas this last year and I sounded like a Southern California skater girl that smokes 1/2 a pack a day...which I'm not, and I don't.

    I don't know, my voice is kinda deeper for a female. I know some voices are like nails on a chalkboard to me.
    I think voice can at times be a good indication of someone's mood. Sometimes I'll call one of my friends and immediately know something's wrong.

    I have a softer voice. Higher pitched, sometimes I'm mistaken for a child over the telephone.
