I used Speakpipe as my medium because I wanted to experience what life was like for

Samantha. She had no voice for a very long period of her life and I was touched by her story. I thought it was good for me to try something outside my comfort zone. Like many, I do not enjoy the sound of my own voice on recordings. However, I was willing to look right before looking left when crossing the street, so to say! The voice recorder allowed me multiple opportunities to start over. This was a reward and a curse as I kept misspeaking. I also thought it was good for me to work on this because I have been told, and am very aware that I am a fast speaker. So, this allowed me time to develop this skill of slowing down my thoughts when speaking. Speakpipe was free and easy to use. However, my recording will only be available for three months.
