Do you hate the sound of your own voice?

As part of my job, I have to record student oral exams. An unfortunate part of this involves me asking them questions. When I mark the exams, I have to listen and relisten to the recordings as I go through the criteria and pick out bits for comments. I have NEVER got used to listening to myself on them. I know how to make myself sound 'better' to my own ears but in the midst of exam performance anxiety, I frequently forget to modulate, flatten my accent and enunciate.

Yes, dreadful. My voice sounds really boring and slow. I used to have quite a nice singing voice but that's gone too now.
