Voice message in Journal - 6/15/2008 5:01:44 PM

I posted a pic for the first time not that long ago. it was actually little surprising the difference it made in the attention i got .So I have decided to go one step further. I have added a voice entry in my journal. Its just a test message but I like it. I thought I would ask the subbies and slaves here what value they would put on a voice message? Is it important.? Could you value it for me on a scale from 1 to 10? Not my actually message which is just a test. But voice entries in general

thanks
TC

Im also interested in what makes the most sense to put into voice messages? I have already put in text everything I can think of. So wouldnt a voice message repeating the text words be a little boring? I do like the idea of voice. I just am not really familiar with it yet and thought it would be a good idea to ask the sort people that I want to attract.

I wouldn't put any additional value on a voice message than i would on a journal entry. They are both methods of communication, and i would think in general that most voice messages come across as wooden, and practised (maybe because they are

). I would be careful of the content, and grammer, and how you say things. Otherwise - have at it.

I don't listen to them. and with ONE exception, I don't watch the videos, either. I prefer to have more personal interaction with someone, via email at first. The written word, in a well thought out profile, hold far more appeal.

I think it's interesting just to hear someone's voice. We all have such different accents, etc that we often imagine that everyone sounds like we do...... so hearing a voice or seeing a video makes them seem more alive and real, rather than a flat, unmoving, unspeaking picture.

As to what you'd say..... if it were me, I'd keep it brief and friendly.... kinda like the greeting on your voicemail or answering machine, but not exactly like that.

It's always interesting to hear a voice... but no, I don't think it actually ends extra value

It's extra information about a person. Their voice, how they speak, if they have an accent or not (and if you like it or not), their mannerisms, and obviously the content contained in the clip, as well. Of COURSE it's valuable.

Heck, I can barely work my way around the computer. I think it's great you can put a voice message in a journal entry. As far as the value on a scale of 1-10, I'd like to see you post later on and let us know what you think it did for you, and how you would rate the success. Like anything else, the importance of it to any individual is on them. I know for myself, I put very little relevance in a picture, video, voice thing in a profile. They are nice when they are there, but I don't make a decision based on whether someone went a little further with their profile. Each person has their own comfort level with the information they provide.

I don't like voice messages or journals becouse it is not the same as putting your time and efort and words into a letter or typing and wrighting an email or journal entry

I have been told that I have a very sexy voice. I remember making a sales call for high tech products one time, and the engineer on the other end of the line asked me if it would bother me to find out that my voice had just aroused him. I get so many emails some days that I'm afraid to use my voice! LOL

When I happen to look (which isn't often), I require a picture in my search. A voice post isn't likely to sway me, though. I've never listened to one, even though I have one myself (it's goofy).

Just be yourself in your voice post. There's no need to really repeat anything, but if you want to add something, I'd give one sentence about the most important aspect of what you're looking for and the most important thing you have to offer.

There seems to be a very wide range of oppinions on this. I think I am going to follow shivermetimbers advice and post something about results. So far I havent had any comments about it.

Okay, I don't usually listen to audio or look at vids, but MasterFireMa'am got me to perv hers. :)
actually, every one i have ever watched/listened to it has been for that same reason, that it was specifically mentioned here on the boards. otherwise, i ignore them.
If i was looking for them, i think i agree with you, that repeated what is already in text seems like unnecessary duplication, and it does seem the main purpose of them is to give someone a chance to hear what your voice sounds like, so i might consider reading some prose that you like, or something, or sticking to a 'Hi, How are you, Can you hear me now' kind of message. NOt too sure - i don't even own a mike. (I feel lucky to have sound. Sound seems to be the favorite thing to go out on puters i have owned over the years. Oh, and when i was living with my sons, it would go out a LOT, due to the boys STEALING MY SPEAKERS for their MP3 players. That definatly makes the sound go out. :'( )

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that it adds real value...but it would be a nice thing to listen to. I was emailing with a dominant a few years back and when I finally got to hear him on the phone I was just stunned. He sounded like Alvin the chipmunk....on helium! Now I am normally not really shallow when it comes to things like that but.......I KNEW right away I just couldn't go there......

If you're looking for a fem, it seems a good way to, possibly, verify gender. For a man, there's probably not as much value as there doesn't seem to be a large number of women who fake being a man.

For me personally, the voice is very important. So, if i was looking...which i am not...it would have added value. My Daddy's voice is amazing...i remember hearing him the first time, it is top of the list for me as a priority. But, that is me and what makes me wet....i mean uhmmm happy.

p.s. mistoferin...i am normally very shallow!!!! welcome to the dark side!

I thought I would post the conclusion;
The voice message is a nice thing to have but has little impact on initial attraction or adding value to a profile that leads to attraction. There are a few people that say otherwise. But they are in the minority.

I will keep the voice message up and probably modify it to actually say something besides a test message. But I wont expect much from it in the way of message activity.
