Canon's EOS Rebel XSi Commercial

So... It's summer time, I am supposed to spend more time at home, enjoying the A/C, on my way to become another one of the American potato (on the couch that is). But instead, I've been busy as hell.

Here is something that I've found interesting... I get how Canon XSi is a new camera from Canon and all, and honestly, by watching the commericals, it does reminded me of those cool HP commericals that had a while back promoting their printers.



Back to the topic. The HP commerical is just cool, it shows you the things that you could do with your pictures, just need to think differently, or outside of the box. But Canon's commerical used the EOS-1D Mark III to capture the stills to be put into the video, that's just bad business practice. It gives people false expectations.

Recorded sound

So, I was reading somewhere that the reason we sound different when recorded was because

We tend to hear our own voices as much through our jawbone and throat as through our ears, so virtually everyone thinks their voice sounds different when they hear it recorded, while other people hear it the same way. And in most cases, we think we sound better than the recording reveals. This is one reason why "announcer" training uses recordings to help students learn how to speak better.

Now, I know this is probably not a scientific explaination, but I know my voice definitely sounds different when recorded, and I do hate my recorded voice. (Can I get a head count of who else hates their recorded voice?? Hmm huh, I thought so).

You would think it'd be a simple tweak on the audio/mic recorder end (or manufacturer end) to maybe, just maybe, add a little bit of bass or something (sorry, don't know the correct technical term) to the recording process, so the voices would be closer to what we hear inside our head.

Now I bet that recorder is going to sale like a hot cake! or maybe I just don't want my screaming in the recording to sound like a little girl shrieking. I am just saying... :D
