Yes I do have a radio voice, I mean a voice that I use for the radio. I think I inherited it. Without even thinking about it I slow down as I speak, lower my range. I articulate, try not to breathe too heavy. I now have a constant allergy condition so I work on not sounding wheeze or raspy breathe. . I try to pay attention as it is easy for me to talk in cliche, or do an accent and of course the the Biggest Fear. SWEAR.
I have the mouth of a sailor. ( It was a thing in the 60’s that I didn’t out grow.) So I have to pay attention. So far so good. Today seven months into my show a young man in his late 20’s told me he liked my “radio voice’ and then he said he liked my taste in music almost as an afterthought. Yes a huge compliment coming from a person not in my age zone but it made me think about the voice vs the taste in music. Yes I would like to have a pleasant sound as I am very audio and I love a good voice but I think having someone appreciate your taste in music is like butter.
