Do you have a low voice? I’m a bass and I’m the same way. My voice in recordings always sounds lower (and less expressive!) than it is in my head.
Comment on Why does it seem that people dislike recordings of their voice more than photos of themselves?
TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 9 months agoMost people also hear their voice about an octave lower in their head.
Is this true? It’s the other way around for me. Well, I don’t know if it’s an octave, but my voice sounds significantly deeper in recordings than I hear it as I’m speaking.

Yeah, it’s pretty deep as other people hear it. I hate how I sound in recordings.

My wife tells me, “You sound good.”
I told her, “Sure, but if I sounded to everyone else the way I sound in my head, I would be famous.”

“This added resistance causes the waveform frequency to drop, lowering the pitch of the sound you hear internally”

That article almost makes sense, except it doesn’t explain why it’s the other way around for some of us.
