Being quiet does not come easily to me, so it was hard to hear the latest medical opinion that my voice is too fragile to allow a return to work. But at least I do have a voice. It does not sound like me, but it is audible though quiet. Someone said yesterday that perhaps this was the way I would always sound. I have been told to aim for a lower pitch – “low and sexy” – was the instruction.
So who shall I be – Fenella Fielding or Nicholas Cage?
