Yeah, that sucks. Been there. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Nothing you can't change who you are! They say this in person? or online? - Fee501st

Online, of course. All I can pretty much say is "Sorry!" Can't please all of the people all of the time, right? ;) - Veronica

I've experienced not being able to stand certain voices, but your voice has a very pleasant pitch and timbre. - Christopher A Carr

Just fake a Russian accent like Leo. ;) - Chris Luckhardt

Yea I figure online, I doubt that person would tell that to you personally. I think your voice is fine! - Fee501st

Whoever said that has 'issues'. Your voice is congenial and pleasant to listen to. Perhaps they are more comfortable with someone who sounds like Beverly D'Angelo. The one from Entourage not National Lampoon's Vacation. - Gregg Scott

You were not on American Idol, I guess, so why is somebody complaining about your voice? Which is not unpleasant, if I remember correctly. - Oliver Bouchard

Thanks guys, now I feel like I was fishing for compliments! It was more meant like "can't sweat the stuff you can't change." well, I suppose I could do some voice coaching, but who has time for that?? hehe. - Veronica

@Chris Leo gets emails about his accents, people saying he making fun of people! Like Veronica said you can't make everyone happy - Fee501st

I heard Celine Dion had to face the same obnoxious comments and we all know where she is. I guess the best thing to do is - carry on. - Nir Ben Yona

@Fee501st: People need to chill, yes? :) - Chris Luckhardt

That's funny... You started off just a voice on "Buzz Out Loud". I would say you progressed pretty well from there. - Greg Layman

Some people (myself included) over 30 find "High Rising Terminal" (upspeak) rather annoying. But you really don't do that. - Christopher A Carr

People who give feedback that say you suck and you suck at suck so you suck are not saying much. THEY are the annoying ones. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

your voice is very pleasing - steve mellott

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Veronica

Yeah but, you're hot. - Jonathan Tatham

Kindly point them to the mute switch, and privately flip them off. :) - jcunwired

Jonathan... ugh. Go away. - Veronica

high rising terminal...would be a good star trek episode - steve mellott

Haven't you ever watched "My Fair Lady"? There's plenty you can do. "The rain in Spain..." - Fleagle

Kick him in the balls and ask him how he likes his voice now? :D - ChiliMac

I was thinking during yesterday's TWiT that you had a great voice. I would rack this up with the"everyone has a sense of style but not everyone has good taste" sentiments. - Jude

nah, you have a great voice. - Thomas Hawk

Ask if he/she prefers the sound of your middle finger instead - Shevonne

I'm more interested in the words and information rather than the pitch of the delivery... which, btw, I have no problem with. Heck, I do a podcast and I sound like a hobo eating a chicken... - Johnny Worthington

Just let it go and just realize there are many more of us out here that don't feel that way. - Robert Lee

Whoever said that is clueless - you have a lovely voice. - Leo Laporte

Could be that they need a hearing aid. My Dad did and it made a world of difference. :) - Mathew A. Koeneker

I'd have to agree with Leo on this...by the way your TZ bloopers are funnier then Patrick's - John Blanton from twhirl

one more "I like your voice" vote here ;) - Alejandro

I am the most nasally sounding person on earth. Ever. You have a steady, rhythmic voice. Whoever said that to you probably don't sound none too good him/herself, I guar-on-tee. - Mike Lewis

off note, i like how you use Shit but then use the word heck - Long Vo

You could spend the rest of your life in that Darth Vader voice changing mask. :D - Jason Wong

The correct answer to that kinda comment is 'Well, I don't like your face.' :) Are you expected to speak like a BBC presenter in the 50s? (Actually, that'd be hilarious!) - Amy

thats why i use friendfeed, ;/ - chaz2b

Use a bit of helium. - Morton Fox

You could vaderize your voice! Get a mike and voice sythersiser. You could do Steve hawkings, darth vader, or @leolaporte. - Darryl Adams from Nambu

Long, I'm cracking up at your comment! Goes to show how comfortable I am swearing online ;) - Veronica

Tell the truth, it was Scoble that said it, wasn't it? :) - Mattb4rd

Maybe you should get a voice synthesizer , like Dr. Hawking. Then they'll like ya - Srujan Ameda

I believe the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back has the most satisfying way to handle the haters. Maybe not the most feasible but, you know. - Joe Pierce

Veronica - I'm in the liking of your voice column, but I (sincere) never saw you as someone who'd troll for compliments, so you must be looking for real solution ideas. Mine - Try a jaunty accent, maybe that horrible attempt at British that Princess Leia used for the first 1/4 of A New Hope, or Canadian. - Matthew DeVries

Matthew, see my above comment where I said "this wasn't meant to be a fishing for compliments post." - Veronica

they can't stand the sound of their heart. they're just projecting that b.s. on you... - Scott Colley

Veronica, you know I'm too lazy to expand this thread to see the other comments. - Mike Nayyar

Hence my reaffirmation of such. As in, you do need to say cause it goes without saying. - Matthew DeVries

I think you flip them off... silently - mikepk

You should ask for a sound file of that person's dulcet tones, post the file here and let us do the rest :) - Thomas

DSP? Catch a cold? - KyleHase from twhirl

I haven't heard your voice and apparently it is just fine, but anyone who does a lot of speaking might benefit from a voice coach consultation...or even listening to a recording of themself if they haven't already. We all sound very different to others than we do to ourselves. As a for instance, if a woman has a high, little girl voice (and they are out there) just tucking her chin a bit when speaking can lower her pitch. (Not a voice coach, but was a one time speech and drama major with some excellent professors.) - Ginger Kenney

Simply tell 'em, "Luke, I am your mother" - Jim Espinoza

Veronica, might I suggest you just call Mike, Bill or Kevin from Rifftrax to do some voice overs for you, maybe all three for a special Tekzilla: Riffed episode? Maybe that'll make your critic happy ;-) - Bob M. Montgomery

That's pretty damn harsh - Mo Kargas

It's worse when you can't stand the sound of your own voice. In the end, what you have to say is what that really matters. - Mike Beck

You could always consider inhaling Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Jay Cuthrell

I can't find any videos of girls doing SF6 :( - Matthew DeVries

To be clear... don't play around with this alone http://www.youtube.com/watch... seriously... the last thing I want to be associated with is promoting the huffing of something that will displace oxygen and put you into hypoxia - Jay Cuthrell

@dariusmdev - you just needed to search a bit more -- girls doing SF6 http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Jay Cuthrell

I recommended reviewing Ear Plugs on Tekzilla so they don't have to listen to you... - Brian Wagner

I don't know what that means... - Veronica

*nods* - Jay Cuthrell

I was told I sounded like an AM radio once...will never forget it. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

@Rah - someone told me I sounded like a female impersonator once... yeah, that made me feel pretty good about myself! - Lindsay is in 20-ten

Yeah, that hurt me for a while, then I realized that nobody else felt the same and many enjoyed my singing voice. That's what I get for wasting time worrying about what a respected adult thought. Will have to make sure my kids don't listen to anyone's opinion but mine....LOL - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

They must have bad hearing. - Garin Kilpatrick

If someone said they can't stand the sound of your voice, that's not constructive criticism. It's just being rude. I'd say to just ignore the entire thing. Nothing you can do about that. - Candace

Veronica, heard you on the last TWiT, couldn't disagree more with whomever said that. I agree with Candace, just ignore it. - J.F. Brissette

Wow - that's pretty harsh whoever said that and as others have said has nothing to do with constructive criticism. For whomever the hater is, I mean, it's not rocket science, right? They can turn you off, mute you, ignore you or whatever. Life is too short to be worried about pleasing people, but most especially those who are rude and totally tactless. - Dennis Higgins

I could agree with the person on the subject of my voice. I can't stand the sound of it, either. - MiniMage - HLtW

People can be so insensitive. - Jeff Warren

Or the message that is integral to one's soul? - Gary Walter (gwalter)
