When you're recording a video Etc...

Prettygurl12 · Accepted Answer

Yes. And, I am a cop so I talk to people all day 😂 and then I hear myself again when I upload my body cam footage at the end of every shift.

My coworkers always make fun of me if I have to talk to children because I don't have kids - or an interest to have any - and apparently my voice changes and I sound like a dumb ass 😭🙃😂

Omg yes... When I'm speaking I don't think it sounds bad. But when I hear a recording of it 🤯 why I dislike when talking on cell phone sometimes and people using headphones you can hear echo of voice. I stop talking till they fix that lololol... Or time to say goodbye lol

I do dislike it, but funny enough many girls and women have told me they liked my voice. Some very very much (wink wink scenario). I still often don't like it. However, recently I've begun to hear it neutrally or even positively. I think exposure and more effort to properly pronounce words has changed my perception.

Honestly I was kind hoping that having a tracheotomy and nearly breaking my neck would give me a voice like a I was gargling gravel. But it didn't. So I don't like or hate the sound of my own voice. It's just my voice and its there.

el_Te_de_la_Rosa · Answer

I don't like it. When I started learning to sing, I twisted it. I didn't use my chest tone because it sounds like a teenage boy (or worse). Good thing is I master mixed voice and head tone instead. Maybe that's not too bad. Eh?

@Jamie05rhs :D :D How about you?

LesterJester · Answer

Nope, I have a Morgan Freeman voice but with a East Coast Canadian Accent.

I should narrate children's novels or perhaps take over the nature docs when David A. retires or passes away.

When someone calls the office at work, it's my voice they hear on the other end. Now that I'm working remotely from home, they redirected the office number to my mobile.

I put kittens and puppies to sleep just with my voice.

A_Nihilist · Answer

It's a common thing for people to dislike the sound of their own voice. Scientific research has shown that the soundwaves you produce vocally become distorted by the atmosphere they travel through once they leave your throat. When they bounce back at you, you hear them differently than when you first release them. So your brain automatically thinks "Hmm, that's not what I sound like."

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Oh my gosh yes! I hate my own voice; it's so... boring and monotonous. Now add a Southern drawl to it: that's my voice :|

Yet everyone else seems to like it, especially people not from the region, lol.

honeybunSs · Answer

Definitely. I'm not sure if I'm still going through puberty but I hope I am because I don't want to be stuck with this voice for the rest of my life. I'm literally 18 and my voice still cracks. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Ripper_E · Answer

I feel like it sounds different to me than it does to other people. I knew my voice was deep, but never knew how deep until I was told because to me it doesn't sound too deep. Perhaps because I'm used to it.

Iamgroot64 · Answer

I think it sounds weird because we're not used to it, since we hear ourselves differently? I'm not a scientist/psychologist or whatever it's just a guess 😅

StephenCF · Answer

Yes, ever since a college professor (in my journalism course) told me I sounded boring after listening to a news segment recording of me as an assignment, which reflected the way I speak naturally 😔

Tobi_Lerone · Answer

Hell yes... for me I sound totally dumb when hearing me in any records. Even if many people tell me I have smooth and dark voice and it sounds calming and so on. I still hate it^^
