If someone were to listen to you speak right now, what well-known person
would they think you sounded like?

Unfortunately for me, it would be Rita Cosby, the woman with the foghorn/tuba voice.

I have a respiratory infection and sinusitis, and have been coughing my fool head off for the past week. It's done such damage to my throat that I swear, I sound exactly like Rita Cosby.

:cry:

So, who do you sound like?

1. Not sure - but perhaps Robyn Roberts (Good Morning America)
Only a little more nasal.

He's got about half of a brand new show put together, and is working on the rest of it. He is SO excited at the prospect of getting back online and doing new shows. I think, from what he has told me about it, that the one he is working on now will be another really good one!
