What goofball would have a watermelon av?
I'm like you Keroin.
Which is why I get confused when people change their Avs too often. There was a short period when MWY had a cartoon Fluffernutter sandwich as his Av. I could not take anything seriously coming from a sandwich.
I always feel better when I see Spencer.

Ah, and now I've gone and changed my AV. I wanted to put on a photo of my cat, Emily, she is turning 15 today. (Happy birthday Emmy! Mommy misses you! xoxoxo). It came out blurry though, so it looks more like a Rorschach ink blot than a cat. She'd probably approve. Emily is quite ornery, hates to be photographed, hates...well, pretty much everything.
Now I'm wondering how people picture *my* voice from my AV...

Forgot to mention, your AV voice actually comes out as music. You sound like Enya singing. Lovely.
Happy birthday Emmy!
Wonders what my AV voice comes out like
Your AV voice is like the Danish version of James Spader. Creepy but in a good way. Does that make sense?
Tell me I'm not the only person who does this. When I read a post, I always imagine the avatar as the narrator. I'm certain this colours the actual tone of whatever the person is trying to say but I can't help it.

Does anyone else do this? Anyone?
Your AV voice has a thick German accent and is slightly aggressive.

Yes. I've been voicing Litizens in my head for years now.
And just as an FYI sort of thing, the current Av is Katheryn Grayson... as close as it gets to "me" without being "me". (Although I think she's much prettier.)
The most common comment I get re: my voice is that I don't have an accent (I'm from Texas, but other than the occasional "y'all" you'd never know it), and that I have a really nice phone voice.
DARN. Now I know why I am not taken seriously ... I bet my voice sounds like an ass!![]()
As for myself, I used to do that. But I've turned all AV and images off so, it is all words for me now. I notice it actually have helped me get a better feel for the written "voice" of the posters![]()
(and I can check the boards even with family or other people around)

No, your AV voice is young and coquettish. Always on the verge of laughter.
