Not in my head silly. I hear people changing their voices all day long. Their voices change depending on their circumstances. I'm guilty too.
When I wake up I'm told I have this deep soft bass. As the morning passes it brightens into a moderate baritone. The moderate baritone last most of the day unless I've talked a ton and then as the afternoon meets the evening my voice takes on a hoarse or raspy quality.
And then there are my phone voices. If I'm talking with strangers I present the professional tone with what I laughingly call my radio or DJ voice. And that voice is the one I want to highlight in others. Many men do their own variations of it, but they don't limit it too just the phone.
When you hear someone's "radio" voice in your presence, look at their throat. You'll notice it's a bit tight and often the chin is tucked. As they get more comfortable in their conversation with you and relax their voice will change and they'll barely realize it, but listen for it.
There are some guys who give us that affected voice all the time. You'll recognize them by the fact that their voice never changes. That's unnatural.
That's just the guys. Women's voices have even more variations and even more dependent on situation and company. And the guys almost always misread what's in a woman's tone.
Now for the disclaimer; These are personal observations and not based on scientific studies so lets keep the conversation light and fun.
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
Disclaimer; Kinda like the Pirates Code, they're just guidelines, meant for fun. They aren't hard and fast rules.
1) If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2) Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3) You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4) You don't have to comment to recommend.
5) You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen. It has in numerous forms, I'm flattered!)
6) Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
7) TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Neither are you
Mojo Friday Goals
Disclaimer; These are mostly here for nostalgia, the site has changed so much and the servers have been upgraded to the point I don't think we could fuck with the site with 1000 people participating. 2007 it ain't.
A. At least 300 different commenters and 1000 comments by 1:30 PM EST and 1500 by 5:00 PM EST Friday Night that it's posted.
B. 100 recommends for each comment, at least.
C. Stay on Recommend List at least five hours (this requires some strategic planning by you guys, refer to guideline #3)
D. At least 200 diary recommends. 300 would be better, spread the word.
E. And always, fun fun fun.
F. Have at least 75% average participation rate as seen here in the Mojo Friday Postgame Show by Woodtick and bjedward.
G. (New) Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation (see here for some tips).
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 200 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)
MKinTN posted a diary to help everyone achieve greater success called How to Succeed at Mojo Friday Without Really Trying.
For those of you new to MF (Mojo Friday) we have our own lingo about a few things. Thank's to MF'er Jez (the link will explain) go to this diary for a little more fun and explanation. Official Mojo Friday Snecktionary.
