The answer is yes, you do. Here&rsquo;s why:</p><p style="margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">When you speak, you hear your own voice in two ways: through the air and through vibrations traveling through the bones in your skull. Those vibrations emphasize lower frequencies, making your voice sound richer to you.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">A recording eliminates that bone-conducted sound. What remains is much closer to the voice everyone around you has been hearing all along. The good news? They&rsquo;re already used to it. You're the only one who thinks you sound strange.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> </td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; min-width: 100%;" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; padding-top: 9px;" valign="top"> <table class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; float: left; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%;" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left; padding: 0 18px 9px 18px;" align="left" valign="top"><h3 style="display: block; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 150%; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; color: #1381c0;">Everyone Needs a Financial Advisor (Even You)</h3><p style="margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">If you earn a paycheck, you can be thinking about your financial future.
