Is your recorded voice how others hear you?

Recordings of your voice are a replica of what everyone else hears. What you hear in your head is not the same as what everyone else hears, which is why voice teachers will tell you to not rely on what you hear, but how it feels when you sing, and why some will encourage you to record yourself when you practice.

Can someone have the same voice as you?

Your voice identifies you as uniquely as your looks and your fingerprints do. Although some people might sound quite a bit alike, no two voices are ever exactly alike. We each have a unique voice because so many factors work together to produce that voice.

Is your voice the same as you hear it?

When you’re speaking, you hear some of the sounds the same way. Your voice comes out of your mouth, travels round to your ear, and down your ear canal. But there is another way for the sound of your own voice to reach the cochlea and for you to hear it: through the bones in your head.

Do others hear my voice differently?

When you speak and hear your own voice inside your head, your head bones and tissues tend to enhance the lower-frequency vibrations. This means that your voice usually sounds fuller and deeper to you than it really is. Just because it sounds funny and different to you doesn’t mean other people hear it that way.

Is everyone’s voice different?

The sound of each individual’s voice is entirely unique not only because of the actual shape and size of an individual’s vocal cords but also due to the size and shape of the rest of that person’s body, especially the vocal tract, and the manner in which the speech sounds are habitually formed and articulated.

Is my voice different from what I hear?

When you speak, your vocal cords create sound waves that travel through the air to reach your inner ear. This means that your voice usually sounds fuller and deeper to you than it really is. That’s why when you hear your voice on a recording, it usually sounds higher and weaker than you think it should.

Do we hear our voices differently than others?

We hear our own voice in one way, and then when we hear it on a recording, it sounds completely different than in our head. The bones in our skulls tend to enhance the lower-frequency vibrations, and that’s why our voice sounds lower to us than it really is.

Why do I hate my recorded voice?

There’s a Scientific Reason Why You Don’t Like the Sound of Your Own Voice. First off, audio recordings translate differently to your brain than the sound you are used to when speaking. The sound from an audio device goes through the air and then in your ear (also known as air conduction).

What makes a recording of your voice sound different?

What makes a recording of our voice sound so different… and awful? It’s because when you speak you hear your own voice in two different ways. Greg Foot explains all. The first is through vibrating sound waves hitting your ear drum, the way other people hear your voice.

Is my voice ever heard by anyone but Me?

That voice is never heard by anyone but you. The voice you record is an artifical reproduction of sound travelling in air – artifical because it goes to the recording via mechanical means (a microphone) and by electronic means (the recording gear).

How accurate is a voice recording?

You hear your voice from inside your head, there is vibration in the bones of the skull and the sound is altered, while everyone else is just hearing your voice being carried through the air. Your recorded voice is accurate to how you sound to others, unless you are tensing up while being recorded.

Why do we hear our own voice when we speak?

It’s because when you speak you hear your own voice in two different ways. Greg Foot explains all. The first is through vibrating sound waves hitting your ear drum, the way other people hear your voice. The second way is through vibrations inside your skull set off by your vocal chords.
