What I Pay Attention to in My Voice: Inhabiting Vs Performing
0 Plays1 second ago
People often focus on how a voice sounds. Pitch. Tone. Volume. Technique. That’s not where I place my attention.
In this episode, I talk about what I actually listen for while I’m recording. The difference between performing a voice and inhabiting one. Why listeners feel attention before they hear technique. And how presence, breath, silence, and subtle micro-adjustments shape how a voice lands in the body.
This isn’t a lesson in voice acting or audio tricks. It’s an exploration of awareness and why some voices feel calming, grounding, and quietly authoritative without ever raising their volume.
If you’ve ever noticed yourself relaxing simply by listening, this episode explains why.

Introduction to Desire and Authenticity
00:00:07
Speaker
Welcome to the Slut Next Door podcast, where we dive deep into desire, unravel kinks and fetishes, and explore the deliciously naughty side of self-discovery.
00:00:25
Speaker
I'm Beatrix Vale, an erotic audio creator, and your guide to all things kinky and curious. So let's begin.
00:00:41
Speaker
Today I'm going to talk about something i pay very close attention to when I'm recording audio files. And it's not the words, not the script, not even really how my voice sounds.
00:00:56
Speaker
What I'm really paying attention to is where I'm speaking from. And everything I'm going to share has been through experience, through experimenting, also from listening back to myself over years, through noticing what actually lands with people and what does happen.
00:01:22
Speaker
And none of the things I'm going to bring to the table in this episode are things that I'm consciously thinking about. There's no like checklist. It's more of this internal calibration to my voice and performance.
00:01:44
Speaker
What I have learned is that when my voice is rooted in presence, it does something very specific to the listener. I believe it makes them calmer, more receptive, more open, and more willing to follow.
00:02:02
Speaker
So this episode is going to be about vocal presence, about inhabiting a voice instead of just simply performing it.
00:02:14
Speaker
You're going to hear me talk about very small, pretty much invisible adjustments that keep everything aligned when I speak.
00:02:26
Speaker
So before I get into that, I'm going to do my little segment where I talk about what's currently making me feel like a goddess.
Empowerment and Femininity in Content Creation
00:02:38
Speaker
Because i have a very interesting and job, if you want to call it. i get the pleasure of feeling like a goddess every single day. And I even feel that way in my normal life. But one of the things that's making me feel like a goddess currently is hearing from a particular listener who is giving me a specific example of how one of my hypnosis files affected them, especially during relations with their wife,
00:03:19
Speaker
And it was so powerful for me to hear that. And it's not rare for me to hear these things, you know, how files affect people in their real life. And it just makes what I do even more special and absolutely makes me feel so powerful.
00:03:43
Speaker
I mean, to think about, and I think last week, I talked about this, you know, how i take words, I type words onto a screen, I create a script, I say these words, and then I put them together. And that makes me feel like a goddess. It's creating something out of nothing.
00:04:04
Speaker
So with that same thing, it's creating life, life effects and really sexy effects. And it just makes me feel like a goddess. um Another thing that's making me feel like a goddess is simply being a woman.
00:04:26
Speaker
And this is probably coming up because I'm currently working on a script where I'm conditioning the listener to become ah completely submissive to women and basically worship femininity.
00:04:41
Speaker
And, you know, it's really, I think it's really gotten underneath my skin in the good way that being a woman is damn awesome.
00:04:52
Speaker
I mean, sure, i could talk about the downfalls and the cons of being a woman, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I love being a woman. I think that We are the superior gender. And when I say that, i I think you, especially guys that have been with me for a while, you know, when I say that I don't put men down. i love men. I cherish, you know, more of the masculine things about men. Love it. But I just think women are something special.
00:05:31
Speaker
And I do think that every woman has a goddess inside of them. It's just knowing how to tap into that, how to how to own that.
00:05:45
Speaker
And I'm going to be honest with you. i think the world would be a better place if woman ruled it. So with that said, let's go ahead and hop into this episode that I'm really excited to bring to you. I feel like I'm really, really lifting my skirt here and showing you the special goods because um this is something, you know, I've been doing audios for a while now and It's a bit of an art ah for sure and something that I can't really learn other places. i don't There's no handbook or there's no like course on how to be an erotic audio creator.
00:06:33
Speaker
So a lot of this is stuff I've learned and little tricks up my sleeve. So I'm going to give them to
The Art of Vocal Presence
00:06:40
Speaker
you. um So the first thing I'm going to talk about is presence.
00:06:47
Speaker
And you of also before I really get into that, I'll repeat that. the Everything I'm bringing to you absolutely has been learned through my experience as an erotic audio creator and experimenting too.
00:07:07
Speaker
and there also has been a little studying, you know, because I do like to equip myself with knowledge and reading about how performers control their voice, how they how they perform. So a lot of what I'm about to talk about is really not something that is done consciously. i do think there's like this science or this art to it. And i believe that when I'm able to create files in this way where I bring this presence, it does make the listener feel calm and way more open, more willing to follow, which just works perfectly with erotic hypnosis, of course.
00:07:59
Speaker
So I think that there's a big thing with performing versus inhabiting your voice. And what I mean by that, I think that when your voice is performing, your voice is really like aimed outward and And I think that inhabiting your voice is when that voice is rooted inward. this is going to be really hard for me to like explain.
00:08:31
Speaker
And performing vocally, that that's not like a bad thing when your voice is aimed outward. There's certain times and places for that.
00:08:42
Speaker
I think that when you perform, when your voice is performing, i think that the voice kind of sounds like it's reaching for approval i think that the pacing can be a little rushed or almost too polished. And if there's emotion to be given, i think when you're performing, the emotion comes across more demonstrated instead of being inhabited.
00:09:20
Speaker
So when a voice is inhabiting its voice, if that makes any sense, I think that the i think that your voice sounds like there's weight behind every phrase.
00:09:37
Speaker
I think that when you inhabit your voice, emotion is absolutely present and and almost real. And I think that when you listen to a voice that's being inhabited, i think that the listener feels included and less like a o like audience or a crowd member.
00:10:01
Speaker
Like you feel like I could be talking directly to you in this role play scenario versus if I'm performing, it sounds like I'm talking to you know, hundreds of people and you you just happen to be one of them.
00:10:18
Speaker
And i think when someone truly inhabits their voice, You know, I don't think this can happen unless your nervous system is completely settled.
00:10:35
Speaker
um A lot of grounding work. Because I also think that we all are really good people. at naturally detecting when a voice is grounded or being inhabited or when it's performing. And I don't think that that's consciousness either. I think it's this weird thing that happens behind the scenes um or unconsciously rather, because I'm sure you might've heard audiophiles or even in movies where
00:11:15
Speaker
You can tell when someone is acting. um One person that, there's like ah several actors and I can only think of one right now, but for sure that when I watch them in a movie, I feel everything. It looks like I am looking into a lens of their life. I don't feel like I'm looking at an actor. And I can never really truly pinpoint what makes that come across. I i would imagine it has so it has something to do with what I'm talking about, inhabiting their voice, but also inhabiting, because they're an actor, inhabiting...
00:11:59
Speaker
you know, they're becoming that character, um not just acting that character, but the actor I was going to name is Leonardo DiCaprio. I just think he is so compelling to watch in every role I've ever watched him in I don't feel like he's performing.
00:12:17
Speaker
But bringing this back to audio work, I think that you guys can hear, or when i if I'm going to listen to something, I think we can hear when a voice is trying to be something versus when it already is something.
00:12:36
Speaker
And like I said, for me, when I'm trying to really inhabit my voice, I do, i do reach this like weird little flow state when I'm recording where I do want to feel like I am that role in that moment, you know, feeling everything that I'm saying and I also really do try to ground myself. So if I am stressed, if I am worried about other things, i don't even I don't even record. I'm going to do something that grounds me or calms me down. wait until my nervous system is a little bit more settled because it would be impossible to, I mean, not impossible to create the file, but I just know it wouldn't be my best work because i would be performing.
Listener Engagement and Vocal Techniques
00:13:37
Speaker
i wouldn't be inhabiting And the fascinating part, and I don't you know i don't study, i didn't go to college for this kind of stuff, so i don't have the jargon or vocabulary for it, but I do strongly believe that we feel someone's attention or even their energy before we hear things like technique or So what I mean by that, I think you as a listener process
00:14:14
Speaker
like before, actually, before you process tone, pitch, pacing and accent, the texture of someone's voice, I think you immediately and unconsciously, and that's what makes it so fascinating, register the person's attention.
00:14:38
Speaker
So I think that if someone's attention or someone's voice, whatever you want to call it, is more outward, i think you can almost sense or almost feel like the voice is saying to you listen to me, notice this, let me keep you engaged. Versus where I think when that attention or someone's voice is more inward and inhabited, I think that their voice feels like they're saying, you know, I'm here.
00:15:15
Speaker
There's no rush. You don't need to do anything. I'm steady. And it's just easier to to listen. It's easier to just simply let go and kind of float on their voice because they're It's not outward. It's not performing.
00:15:36
Speaker
You don't feel like they're working for your attention. You just know they deserve your attention, I think. you know So i think when a voice holds space...
00:15:54
Speaker
There's almost like room around the words. And I think that for the listener, you feel like time either doesn't exist or time expands, you know, time does this funky thing. And again, this is just all so fascinating because I'm sure you can think back to files or let's say even movies or songs, just anything that you listen to or watch or consume where you know you're just simply a consumer of media.
00:16:32
Speaker
I'm sure you can think back to things that they just take time away and ah in a good way. You know, um time either goes really quick or time just doesn't become something that exists because...
00:16:52
Speaker
it's It's just this magical thing that happens. you know That media or that voice or that actor, whatever, holds this space for you and you just simply you just simply are there.
00:17:10
Speaker
So another thing that I find really interesting, i don't really listen to too much erotic audio for my own sake or for comparison reasons. I don't really and don't really do that. But I do remember...
00:17:28
Speaker
When I first started doing this, I was looking at my competition, what other people were doing, and just sampling their work to see what all this stuff was about.
00:17:41
Speaker
I would love to hear you guys' feedback on this because I've always wondered. I've always wondered... if this works or not, and I have a feeling it's preference.
00:17:55
Speaker
So I'm sure you've heard erotic hypnosis artists that when they speak, They speak very monotone.
00:18:06
Speaker
It's a certain tone and it doesn't really change. The voice becomes very flat and, you know, do you know what I'm talking about?
00:18:17
Speaker
um I know you've probably heard it, especially I think some of the older, like early 2000s or maybe even a little after that. I feel like that was definitely the default.
00:18:30
Speaker
How do you feel about that? Because like when i create erotic hypnosis, during the inter introductiont not introduction, during the induction I might get a little bit rhythmic with my speaking because that is a hypnosis technique.
00:18:52
Speaker
But most of the time i will I will have kind of a normal voice, especially when I get into the meaty part of the file. I want you to feel my emotion. I want you to experience my emotion. And, you know, so I'm just curious. You can let me know in comments or whatever wherever you speak to me.
00:19:19
Speaker
Do you like the monotone classic hypno voice? That's very plain. And you just follow, you know, it's hard for me to even create because it's just not natural.
00:19:37
Speaker
so I am curious about that. And with that said, I'm going to talk now about something that I believe as a voice actress or as a content creator, I i strongly believe that intention is way more important than volume.
00:20:02
Speaker
So I'm working a lot in the femdom space and I truly believe that authority does not require you to be loud.
00:20:18
Speaker
I think that
00:20:21
Speaker
Authority is felt. I think that authority... is something you inhabit, like I was talking about in the previous section.
00:20:34
Speaker
And sometimes even quiet voices can carry more weight because I truly believe it's intention.
00:20:45
Speaker
And there's some other things that we're going to talk about as well. But I know that I don't have to be allowed to bring authority or if we're talking humiliation, i don't need to be loud for that either.
00:21:02
Speaker
i do have files where I am I guess I'm more on the lot loud side, but again, it's it's really not necessary. And I think that listeners can also hear, and maybe you can't pinpoint it.
00:21:18
Speaker
You can't even explain how you know, but I think that listeners can can tell when a performer isn't into it.
00:21:29
Speaker
And what I mean like really feeling it or they might be not even turned on by what they're saying. I think that that's something that can be picked up immediately. And I think that also goes back to inhabiting a little bit.
00:21:48
Speaker
And that's something i would tell any aspiring content creator, do not get into this if you are not into the topics or the kinks or whatever. Because for one you're not going to have fun. It's going to be pure torture because you're going to be talking about these things every day, day and out, you know, so why why would you get into something that you're not going to take some enjoyment out of. But even more importantly, i know that listeners can hear.
00:22:24
Speaker
I know that they can hear when you're not into it, when you don't have the intention that is supposed to be there.
00:22:34
Speaker
It becomes more of a performance rather than an experience and sure there could be some files or some creations where you can tell that the speaker the content creator is performing and I'm sure that the file still does its intended job but I don't think that's sustainable if you want to, if someone's wanting to have a successful you know time as a content creator.
00:23:09
Speaker
Because why would you go back to someone that you can tell they're not really into it? You're more likely to support someone where that feels more safe.
00:23:21
Speaker
But the next section, the next topic I'm going to talk about is something that's more of the craft of vocal recording, vocal performance. ah I'm going to talk about how I listen to myself when I'm recording, which is a really weird thing. um When I'm recording, I'm somehow in the same moment as speaker and an observer.
00:23:55
Speaker
And I cannot put into words like, I could never teach this. I can just tell you about it. um When I'm speaking, i'm hearing myself, but also speaking and also it's it's really, I don't even know how I do it, but I did create a list of little micro adjustments that I do make and so instinctively. And this definitely came from experience and experimenting. This definitely wasn't something that I learned from anyone.
00:24:37
Speaker
So, and there also before I get into it, there's probably a lot more that I do. But like I said, I i sat down before while I was planning this podcast episode and I brainstormed. These are definitely things that I do.
00:24:54
Speaker
So one of the things that I do that I've noticed that work well is knowing when to stretch a vowel sound.
00:25:06
Speaker
So I'm going to give you some examples. We're going to work with the phrase so deep. Okay. So if I say it very plainly, so deep.
00:25:21
Speaker
All right. Nothing there. But if I just stretch certain vowel sounds, it brings more
00:25:31
Speaker
um to it. So here's an example. So deep. ok So I stretched out the O sound and so. So when you're hearing that, it just like kind of exaggerates that that experience in that moment. um It brings some more awareness. Whatever it brings, it just brings something special.
00:26:01
Speaker
And I can also do that example again. i can say, so deep.
00:26:09
Speaker
Again, it just exaggerates that moment. um It does something special. and Again, i lack i lack the formal training, so it's hard for me to put words into the little weird things that I do. We'll do another example of stretching vowel sounds. So here's an example of the plainly spoken. good boy.
00:26:38
Speaker
Okay. Just a basic good boy. If I stretch out the vowels, it's going to sound like good boy.
00:26:51
Speaker
Just makes it sexier. um Yeah. And that's like something, that's something that happens in the moment. Like when I'm writing a script, I don't write lots of vowels to tell myself to stretch it out. That would probably be smart actually. But it's something that I feel in the moment.
00:27:15
Speaker
Like I'm thinking in the moment, here's what I want the listener to feel. I want them to feel X, Y, Z. So I instinctually stretch a vowel sound or just simply make my voice even more interesting.
00:27:31
Speaker
Another thing that I do instinctively is kind of the same as the previous one. i might exaggerate certain letter sounds and that would be more consonants. So really putting emphasis on a letter sound. So we'll do some examples. The phrase, get on your knees now.
00:27:54
Speaker
Okay, that's spoken plainly. So if i just exaggerate some of those letter sounds, it's get on your knees now. Okay, so I'm just kind of playing with certain sounds to make that statement hit harder because that's a sexy statement.
00:28:19
Speaker
If I just said get on your knees now, while that does still sound sexy because I know I have a nice voice, it just hits harder when I exaggerate, get on your knees now.
00:28:37
Speaker
You know, it's just, it makes it hit harder. Another one is, another example we'll do is the word pathetic. If I take some of the word or the some of the sounds in that word,
00:28:53
Speaker
You are pathetic. So i kind of took the sound in there and I just ah just made it a bit more sharper.
00:29:05
Speaker
Again, hard for me to have vocabulary for this, but pathetic versus pathetic. It just brings more Something to the table. um Another thing that I've noticed that I do, and this must have been me playing with my voice and experimenting, but I've noticed that when i i like squint or tighten certain facial muscles, the words come across in a more powerful way.
00:29:43
Speaker
And this is especially true when I'm doing, say, humiliation or even when I'm commanding someone to do something or very much so when I'm commanding the climax.
00:29:58
Speaker
It's I squint up my face to create tension. You might have heard it a little bit right there. So we'll do a little example. I didn't prepare myself an example for this one, but um let's say, let's do something fun.
00:30:15
Speaker
I'll say, um you're going to eat that peanut peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Okay, that's the command. If I say if i say it plainly, it's going to sound like this.
00:30:28
Speaker
Eat your peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You know you want it. Eat your sandwich now Okay. I just spoke plainly there. Now I'm going to like squinch up my face and do that command again.
00:30:45
Speaker
Eat that peanut butter and jelly now. Eat that peanut butter and jelly like it's your last meal. Do it now. So I'm just, I probably look ridiculous. My face is all contorted. and there's definitely these things I do with my jaw. I'm tensing up my jaw. You know, I'm doing things to make you feel like, oh my God, I better do it or she's getting mad. I'm creating tension in my voice where normally, you know, my my face is more relaxed. So that's something I do.
00:31:24
Speaker
Instinctively during recording to bring, i guess, emotion and to bring dramatics and and just the feeling, you know, um hoping that you're that I'm inhabiting a vibe rather than performing it.
00:31:41
Speaker
Now, this next thing that I thought that I do might be hard for me to demonstrate when I'm not in the moment. And when I say in the moment, I really do hit this flow state where It's almost like I'm hypnotized when I'm recording because time just either doesn't exist or flies by. So anyway, something that i do is exhale a little longer at the end of words. So let's, I didn't prepare an example for this, but let's just say
00:32:20
Speaker
Let's use good boy again. So if I'm doing normal breathing, going to say good boy. Okay. Now if I do a longer exhale at the end of that, it's going to sound like good boy.
00:32:39
Speaker
Okay. So I just took my my throat and I made that air just exhale longer.
00:32:51
Speaker
That definitely came with experimenting and that whole weird thing where I'm an observer and a speaker at the same time. When I started playing around with my voice, i could hear, wow, that sounds really sexy when I just make the air come out longer.
00:33:13
Speaker
You know, it's um it's it's ah experimenting, experiment went well there. um Another thing that i do instinctively when I'm performing, and this is, i think, and I could be wrong, I could be totally wrong, but this is something that I do notice I've been doing lately, is i allow certain imperfections to stay around.
Authenticity through Imperfections and Arousal
00:33:41
Speaker
So there are some times when I record and I'm really feeling it. Like I'm turned on. I'm feeling myself. I'm feeling like a badass bitch in the moment. And I just can't help but make certain noises like, or I might laugh or, yeah like,
00:34:06
Speaker
Sometimes those yas, you might hear those mm's are not planned. They are, they're, they're these weird things that happen in the moment and i can hear myself doing it and I'm like, oh, that sounded good. Yeah. And so i'm ah I'm not going to edit that out. going keep it there. Because, you know, and that that that total or tells me that I was really feeling myself in that moment. So why would I edit something that...
00:34:38
Speaker
is really natural and works so good. um So I think sometimes those imperfections just work beautifully.
00:34:49
Speaker
Another thing that I have definitely noticed myself doing is I don't, when I'm writing a script, I'm, Typically, I'm not writing in the curse words that I do use.
00:35:06
Speaker
I've noticed that I'll be performing the script and... Just instinctively, add in fuck or think fuck is a typical one. i'm trying to think if there's another one.
00:35:23
Speaker
But it's definitely fuck. Like, for example, if I'm saying something like, I don't know, like we'll use the example from before.
00:35:36
Speaker
Get on your knees, you pathetic little plaything. Pump harder, pump faster. Be a good boy. Okay, so i'm when I'm gonna, that might be something I write in a script, okay? And then when I'm performing it, I add in curse words at certain moments because I'm wanting to sound even more dominant. So I might say, Get on your fucking knees now, you pathetic little fucking good boy, whatever I use there. um
00:36:12
Speaker
Pump harder, fucking pump harder. You know, the those fucking um come during performance. And I've definitely made note of that and I find it very interesting.
00:36:26
Speaker
I've kind of chuckled at myself. So I definitely add in the F-bomb whenever I'm trying to, i think it's when I'm trying to to make you feel
00:36:45
Speaker
a certain level of fear maybe, or make you feel a little scared, you know, the fear boner thing, or maybe I'm trying to just bring in more dominance. i don't know what it is, but it's definitely something I've done that,
00:37:02
Speaker
Obviously, it's hard for me to explain why, but for me, in my opinion, it just works, you know. um so yeah, that's something I do But the whole concept of me being a speaker and observer is really wild and really hard. Like, I can't imagine teaching this because it's something that just kind of happens a lot of it unconsciously. and luckily for me, it just has worked beautifully in certain files, but there you go. There's some of my tricks that happen while I'm recording, and then lastly, I'm going to kind of talk about some personal observations that I was just kind of thinking about to give you guys, and
00:37:57
Speaker
what I do when I am recording files and why i think my files do hit so well for some people. i have definitely noticed over the years, and this is long before I started doing audios, I noticed that I cannot hide my own arousal.
00:38:20
Speaker
Like I can remember hearing for the first time someone I must've been dating or whatever, was telling me or they noticed, they were like, oh my goodness, like your voice, like when you start, when we, you know, are in the, in bed together, you get this like husky thing in your voice. And I remember in the moment, I remember it so well because I thought,
00:38:45
Speaker
oh, well, I'm a woman. i don't want to sound husky. Like I took it as a bad thing. But then I started noticing, i'm like, yeah, they're right. I can't, I can't hide my arousal because something does happen in my voice. And I think it probably happens. I would imagine happens to most people. um I don't know enough about biology and the things that are happening inside, but You know, i said earlier in this podcast episode, I don't think anyone should ever do content creation if they're not into it. And this is one of the reasons why.
00:39:25
Speaker
Every single one of my files, I do get turned on. i promise you. I could send you proof, but I'm not. But I am very, very much turned on. And that's i think that comes, it's something that's invaluable.
00:39:45
Speaker
And something that can't be taught either. i mean, you can't teach someone how to make the arousal come out of their voice. That's not something you can teach, I don't think. So I do notice...
00:40:02
Speaker
I can hear it when I speak. I can hear it when I'm editing. i can be like, oh my God, I sound turned on. And I think that you guys can probably hear it too. Or maybe you think it's something I perform, but it's not.
00:40:16
Speaker
um It's just, yeah, something that I hear and I wish I could show you, but I can't. That would kind of be impossible to show you in certain files. Yeah.
00:40:28
Speaker
But yeah, it's it's inhabiting. it yeah It all goes back to that inhabiting versus outward you vocal performance. um Another thing that I have noticed over the years is that when it comes to trigger words, and when I say trigger words, they're arousal trigger words, So there are words that you hear and you like no matter where you hear them, you get a little twitch.
00:40:58
Speaker
Like it makes you... It makes you excited. it makes your brain tingle. It might even make you physically aroused.
00:41:08
Speaker
I love to know, especially when I'm creating custom files, what are your trigger words? I want to know those because I'm going to hit them strategically in the script. And then when I'm performing them,
00:41:22
Speaker
I'm really going to do some special things to my voice, you know? So if I know that you react really, really well to the phrase, good boy, my goodness, I'm not just going to say it like I just said. I'm going to say it like, good boy.
00:41:41
Speaker
You want to be my good boy? I'm going to use all those instinctive things like stretching vowel sounds, exaggerating the letter sounds. I'm really going to do bring out all the stops when it comes to those trigger words. Another thing that I don't know if it's an observation, but I definitely think that if you are a fan of mine,
00:42:14
Speaker
you enjoy mommy dom energy. and that is something that thankfully i think happens pretty naturally in my voice.
00:42:27
Speaker
I've heard other people kind of turn on their mommy dom voice and it works really well. I kind of know when to turn it on. Like if I'm doing a heavy, heavy mommy-dom voice, I do know how to change my tone and the texture of my voice sound just a lot more motherly.
00:42:50
Speaker
Like you can trust me. And don't know, it's just so mommy, isn't it? and don't know. it's It's hard to explain. It's a little experimentation of,
00:43:04
Speaker
you know, changing my voice and something happens in my brain to where I think, okay, if I do this, then I sound more like mommy. You know, it's just a...
00:43:17
Speaker
It's an art, if you will. Like I said, some of this stuff is so hard to explain. um And with that said too, that and this is the fun, one of the funnest thing about audio is you can go so many places, you can do so many things like baby talk.
00:43:39
Speaker
And I'm sure you might be thinking, if you don't know my work really well, you're like, why would she use baby talk and erotic audios? Well, it is a fantastic method of delivering humiliation if you're into this kind of humiliation where I'm like, oh, look at that tiny widow thing. Oh, my goodness. It's so tiny. Yes, that little penis is so tiny. oh you know, um and it's, it's, I'm sorry, can't help but help but chuckle just bringing that in out of the middle of nowhere.
00:44:19
Speaker
um it's It's little things like that that you learn how to control your voice or how to take on another energy with your voice that, you know, is really fun. And I know that's fun for you guys to hear the different facets that someone's voice can bring to the table. Yeah.
00:44:45
Speaker
um Another little observation I've made when it comes to recording audios, I definitely use pace. um When I'm in the climax of an audio, so what I mean by that is when it's in the moment where either I'm assuming the listener is having a climax or I'm assuming they're building to one,
00:45:14
Speaker
I'm not going to be talking at the pace I am now. I'm going to be talking a lot more quicker. I'm going to really squinch up my face like I talked about earlier. I'm creating that tension. I'm going faster because I'm imagining their arousal.
00:45:29
Speaker
is doing the same thing and I want their arousal to match me. you know So that's why typically if I'm doing hypnotic induction, I'm going a lot more slower because i that's the pace I'm wanting to set in that moment.
00:45:49
Speaker
I'm sure there could be a file and maybe I do have one where I'm like, yes, you are going to come You're going to come now.
00:46:00
Speaker
You know, ah I don't know. to me, that just doesn't command a climax if I'm talking at this pace.
00:46:13
Speaker
ah I would more rather match the vibe in that moment. I just think it hits better personally.
Physical Techniques in Recording
00:46:22
Speaker
Oh, and I just realized left a little micro adjustment out and this can fit into my personal observations.
00:46:32
Speaker
Something that I have... realized I do and i didn't mean, i don't mean to do it. Like when i when I realized I was doing it, I don't remember telling myself to do it if I just made any sense. But I have noticed that sometimes during hypnosis files, I tilt my head up because I do think it does something to my voice. And it probably sounds weird right now when I'm talking slower.
00:47:03
Speaker
I think it must have to do with the air, but those long exhales. If i you know, tilt my head up, I'm lengthening my neck.
00:47:15
Speaker
I think it also gives me a bit more control over my vocal box or something. i don't know. But, um you know, so I'm definitely doing that.
00:47:26
Speaker
My head is definitely up. Another weird thing that I do, well, it's not weird, but another thing that I do, and when I realized I was doing it, I i just had to laugh because of how,
00:47:43
Speaker
oh a slightly ridiculous ah ridiculous it is. um I am definitely moving my hips and I think that's part of inhabiting and bringing my own arousal to the recording because it does feel good when you move your hips, right? So if I'm like grinding my hips on my chair, um for one, you're going to hear my arousal, but also I'm just inhabiting that not energy and that moment. um
00:48:19
Speaker
Another really... funky thing that I realized I do if I am making m the vowels at the end of a word expand a little more whatever i like move with it and I'm sure you can't see me but I'm kind of like moving my body like so I'm grinding one of my hips down into the chair and then moving to the left um It's just this, yeah there are just weird things that I've learned to do where in the moment I'm like, I must be thinking subconsciously, oh, that sounded really sexy. So we're going to keep making that movement so we can, you know, keep sounding sexy. um
00:49:12
Speaker
It's a really funky thing. So now you know. I am absolutely groing grinding my chair during recording and also squinting my face sometimes. and I may also have my neck elongated or my chin is tilting up.
00:49:33
Speaker
Just... I'm telling you, you might think it sounds sexy, but it looks absolutely, to me, ridiculous um if you were in the room.
Crafting Impactful Audio and Conclusion
00:49:44
Speaker
So I'm actually going to wrap up this episode. um i hope I was able to kind of explain a little bit of the craft, the science, and the art of how I approach audio recordings.
00:50:02
Speaker
you know, when I listen back to my own recordings, I'm not like asking myself if I sounded good, which by the way, Just so you know, i was just saying this the other day, when I hear myself talk, like as my voice is coming out of my mouth and I can hear it in my own ear, i do not like the sound of myself.
00:50:25
Speaker
I don't like it. You know, it's not like it sounds terrible to me, but I'm like, that doesn't sound good. But I will tell you that sometimes when I listen to myself, like in a recording,
00:50:37
Speaker
I'm like, oh, wow. wow I sound amazing. But anyway, when i when I'm approaching you know audio recordings during the during the editing process, I'm really not looking for that.
00:50:54
Speaker
I'm not looking to see if I sounded good I'm listening for for something else. I'm listening, i'm and especially in the moment, I'm listening to am i staying inward? my attention very grounded and settled? And whether I was actually with the listener, because I do think about the listener when I am recording, I'm thinking about what I want them to feel. i don't want to reach for them.
00:51:30
Speaker
I want to be there with them. You know, so that's what I'm, that's what I'm listening for. So I hope this was helpful or even the least bit entertaining. i think that once you start noticing when a voice inhabits, I think when you notice that voice, you're going to hear it everywhere. You're going to hear it in voices that calm you and voices that do a great job at pulling you in
00:52:03
Speaker
or even in voices that really feel safe to follow, and you've really had no idea why they feel so safe to follow. And that is something about my voice and my content that I really want to protect the most and that I put a lot of value into.
00:52:25
Speaker
So if you've ever felt yourself relaxed just by listening to someone, Now you know what you were responding to.
00:52:39
Speaker
And as always, thank you so much for listening. And that's a wrap for this episode of The Slut Next Door, where we dive deep into the raw, unapologetic truths of human desire.
