For a while I’ve just written it off as my adhd, because I accidentally copy people’s accents when I’m talking to them, and my dad (adhd) does the same thing. I thought the reason he does it is because he also feels the way someone is speaking, but whenever I explain it to others I just get blank stares. I’ve gotten multiple roles in plays because I’m great at copying accents, but whenever I would try to help someone else do the same accent I would be so confused why they couldn’t do it. It’s not just accents though. I’ve been copying the way singers sound since I was a toddler. It’s really freaky.Natalienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136131884445465464.post-83025291041868371232023-05-30T15:54:25.113+02:002023-05-30T15:54:25.113+02:00I experience something similar to this but only re...I experience something similar to this but only related to singing. When I am singing along with music I am listening to, I can feel what the singer's voice feels like in my throat and mouth. There's an element of being able to emulate their singing voice, but it's not mimicry, since I don't sound exactly like them. It's more like a physical feeling of their tone, their technique, their style, their phrasing, their way of pronouncing words. The most interesting part is that when singing along with different singers, I seem to adopt their range limitations. I won't be able to hit a note that I am actually capable of hitting when I am singing in another singer's voice who can't reach that note.

Certain sounds cause a sensation that tricks me into thinking "Did I just do that too?" But that's rare. Mostly I'm just feeling the sound of the other person's voice. The resonance. The vocal fry. The shakiness or firmness. <br /><br />It happens on a wide spectrum of intensity, with some vocal sounds not even registering, and some vocal sounds being scarcely perceptible, and some vocal sounds matching or exceeding the sensation of making the sound myself. When I sing together with other people and we're harmonizing, I feel like the vibrations in my own throat have doubled or tripled because their voices are in there too. Same for when I'm at a concert and everyone (including me) screams with excitement. <br /><br />And the inducer isn't just human voices. I feel sensations when I hear the voices of animals, especially some of the sounds ravens make. And totally artificial sounds that kind of resemble voices- I feel those too. Other forms of synesthesia: I have textures for sounds in general, mostly in my mind but sometimes they have a location in my mouth, cheeks, inner ears, and on or in my head. And sounds distort how things taste and feel in my mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
