a very good question. I have been complimented a great deal in the last few years, but still don't like the sound of my recorded voice. And I'm still trying to get over almost forty years of "shut up, you sound like a dying cow" comments. But since total strangers will come up to me and compliment my voice, I have begun to believe them.

Oddly enough, it is frequently times when I feel my voice has been "off" that I get the most spontaneous compliments.
