Well done. I’ve only managed one voiceover and I also sound 12, I can’t listen to it , I cringe 😂 even though I’ve been told I have a nice voice. I may try again one day.

It's so weird how we hear ourselves. My husband is now listening to each post so I have to put up with listening to my own voice emanating from his office - thank goodness it's the other end of the house from mine and I usually have the radio on to drown it out. Personally I would love to hear you reading your posts, if you need any encouragement!

That’s so funny 😆 I don’t know why we think we sound child like , you don’t at all, I’ve just listened to your post, very calming smooth voice. Thanks for the vote of confidence, just that one post took me about 5 attempts 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Mine are definitely not all done on the first take! I have plenty of out-takes with the F*** word being spat out in sheer frustration. I was told many years ago that I had the perfect voice for hypnosis! And yes I did some training - a post topic for another day...

Me too Cherry! I generally shy away from books that are read by anyone other than the author.

THANK YOU Jacqui.

Your story is similar to what my wife has been through and we are now starting a life that is different - our journey back to life. No more hamsterwheel for her. Living a life away from the noise and stress.

You are so welcome Kristian - I'm sorry to hear she's been through a similar ordeal. Sending you both a big hug and warm wishes for your own journey.

That's real commitment, recording your voiceovers under a duvet, Jacqui! I've been reading along, of course, but will have to have a listen now!

I've loved every minute under that duvet, Wendy - thank you again for reading. I hope you enjoy listening and that my voice gives you a new perspective on my story.
