I've just managed to find myself a player which won't eat the OGG files (my old version of Audion *I heart Audion* doesn't play them) and listened to that post while reading mhw's transcription.
I am now listening to it without reading transcript and it's weird cos it is your voice, and your very distinctive speech pattern yet you aren't in front of me for lipreading/signing purposes :) You have a very clear voice, however your speech without you and your body language is much more clearly you making distinct effort to articulate and verbalise your thoughts. when i read your posts on LJ I forget that you talk in a measured fashion as your textual communication is very fluent.
I wonder how many people would come across totally different using 'phonepost' style entries compared to their standard typewritten one. I find it weird spending time with people I know mostly/talk mostly to online cos their IRL communication style is different - usually more hesitant than their online one even when in real-time communications.
I also wonder if my (some would consider excessive) spending most of my time online, most of my communications online has made it harder for me to manage things like phone conversations. There have always been people (usually deep voiced males, and quietly spoken females) who I could not hear on the phone, but now I can hardly hear my own mother!!! My mother is neither quiet nor difficult to hear... I find without lipreading my ability to continue to parse that voice in real time becomes increasingly more difficult and gives me a killer of a headache. Maybe that was part of the exhaustion/fatigue I experienced with vertigo at 15, all of a sudden I couldn't maintain that anymore.
Ho humm, deaf politics come to mind. I am seen as an Oralist success, but am I as successful as they would like to believe? Yes my speech is excellent, my understanding of speech is generally good - but at what cost in energy and 'whatting' to myself and those I am communicating with? I don't hear like a hearing person, I don't struggle like other deaf people with slightly more severe hearing losses than myself, I'm in an uncomfortable semi-dynamic range between the two.
voodoopussy commented on IMs a few weeks after BiCon that I had been signing at her/others at BiCon a lot, I didn't realise I was doing it, and I wonder how much of my communication at home has now become sign/online based - so much so I get frustrated spending time with people who don't understand me when I sign at them!!! My dad was certainly amused at me trying to sign something at him last week.
Thoughts... Ho Humm... Thanks for letting me ramble rubbish at you.
I hate the sound of my own voice, I sound much deeper and less girlie in my own head, although I can only hear myself clearly when I am what is to other people slightly on the loud side.
