It's the dreaded "chipmonk effect". Your voice sounds like the chipmonks (fast and high), right? This is a "feature" of the flash audio player that causes playback to happen either too fast or too slow if the MP3 file has it’s sample rate at a value which is not a multiple of 11,025 Hz..
Info on how to fix it (using audacity) is here:

If that doesn't help, then google "flash chipmunk effect" for lots more info on this very annoying flash bug.
The short answer is that you will probably have to re-export your mp3 file with a sample rate that is a multiple of 11025 Hz. Most of the time most software does tthis automatically (so that this problem doesn't occur). What software are you using?
I’m mad at adobe!

Inappropriate?Yes, this is because of the chipmonk effect...please see this from our FAQ section

--------------------------------------------
I was able to create a Slidecast but the audio plays at a different pitch (or speed) on SlideShare. Why?
We use the ubiquitous Flash player for playing the audio. The Flash player supports the following sample rates for mp3 — 44.1 khz, 22.05 khz and 11.025 khz. Some mp3 encoders can also export to 32khz, 16khz and 8khz. Flash does not support these sample rates and will play them at a higher or lower pitch. Make sure your mp3 encoder always outputs at one of the above 3 sample rates. -
Inappropriate?Amit, you guys should consider importing your FAQ into Satisfaction to intercept these questions as they come in! We can automatically pull it in if you like.

Inappropriate?Thor,
That would get really helpful. How does one go about doing it? And where does it show up on Satisfaction?
