It didn’t happen to me because I was fortunate to be born with a “radio” voice that sounded adult the first time I heard it on the tape recorder in Spanish class when I was 15. I only cringe when I listen to some of my old airchecks and that’s because what I was sometimes doing with my voice was dorky. (I did get better at it).
Here’s an article in the Guardian from some professor-types that shed a little light on why most of us hate to hear our own voices.
