Listening To Your Own Voice
12 Answers
I cring when I hear my own voice. Not only does it not sound like the voice I hear when I actually talk it has a totally different way about it.
I have for various reasons recorded myself talking (mainly for learning lines lol) but I alway think it sounds horrid. My friend also said the same about their own voice.
So two questions.
Does everyone who hears a recording of their own voice not like it ?
Why does it sound so different to what I hear when I actually talk?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think it's pretty much universal. I suppose you hear it in a different way from a recording than when just speaking. You hear your voice from inside your own head as well as from the outside normally, and when you hear a recording it's from one way only.
When I speak normally I don't think I have much of an accent, but hearing a recording - or even worse, a delay on a phone line - I sound like a country bumpkin. :)

//When you hear your voice on a recording, you're only hearing sounds transmitted via air conduction. Since you're missing the part of the sound that comes from bone conduction within the head, your voice sounds different to you on a recording.//

two brothers and we sounded identical to my father
( so his wife couldnt tell between us er vocally )
so the big shock of hearing myself - is - I didnt say that
have I had a black out ? oh it is a message ....
and you get used to hearing a voice that isnt saying what you said....
b. bone conduction - you hear a decent amount ( 20-40 db I think) through bone conduction at a different speed of conduction ( slower) so your own voice will sound different
