Movie Star...

I could never be a movie star.

It's not that I don't have the looks, the brains, the body, the charm or the talent. (Obviously I do!)

It's that I can't stand the sound of my own voice on camera. It might as well be a thousand fingernails scraping a chalkboard!

At the hagwon we record all of the students' speeches and debates. As a natural result, the teacher's voice can be heard giving feedback or asking questions in between speeches. So, every time I go back to review the material and write evaluations for the my students I hear my wretched squawking from behind the camera and think to myself, "Those poor students... They have to listen to that whiney voice! Ack!"

As a result I've decided to start speaking in a sexy, husky voice. Maybe that will solve the problem...

(And then I really can be a movie star!)
