Meeting them can sometimes ruin the image
You're not the only person..

Actually, I have noticed that some people do have a different voice on the phone. A friend of mine speaks with an accent that is basically North London with a very definate Bristol "twang" to some words (born and spent half her childhood in Bristol, then moved to London). She has a very sexy accent (& voice) on the phone. The problem is, I spoke with her Dad a couple of times on the phone, and realised the way he spoke on the phone reminded me a lot of his daughter. Put me off a bit.

BTW, kink, I like the way you speak (accent, voice & phrasing).
