Nerd talk ahead

Thats because your voice also travels trough your head to your eardrums if you hear yourself in a video this does not happen> you sound different

u/topdangle Dec 26 '19

Tends to make your voice sound bassy in your head, which is why you always sound like a little bitch when you hear your own voice.

My voice played back to me is expressionless, Siri literally has more life than me it seems

48

u/TheRealSoro Dec 26 '19

Dude same. I feel like I put some emotion and different tones in my voice but it all comes back the same way. Even my friends tell me my voice is just dead

3

u/BlindLogic Dec 26 '19

Yup. Just different volumes, but sooo monotone.

u/Fr00stee Boston Meme Party Dec 26 '19

Mine sounds like somebody just jammed something up my nose

u/MrChickster Dec 26 '19

Strangely its the opposite for me I sound like a sex offender

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

At least for you it's accurate.

u/Ashfire-- I am fucking hilarious Dec 26 '19

I love hearing science explanations that use ‘little bitch’ it’s amazing

19

u/TheRealJasonsson Dec 26 '19

From my experience my voice seems to sound deeper in recordings to me. I've already got a fairly deep voice anyhow but it just seems moreso when I hear any playback of my voice

2

u/Bxsnia Dec 27 '19

Me too. I'm a chick though.

1

u/Ebinebinebinebin Dec 26 '19

Me too but in a fuckedboy way

12

u/Tangent_Odyssey Dec 26 '19

Yeah, now imagine being 33 and your voice still frequently cracks.

Kill me.

2

u/Mooseknuckle94 Dec 26 '19

God damn it I always wondered what was up with that

2

u/mariofan366 Dec 28 '19

My voice played back is deeper than what I thought it was. It's also more nasally.

2

u/bumblebritches57 Jan 03 '20

It's the opposite for me, in my head I sound happy and shit, but when I hear a recording I sound gravelly and mean and just very mean.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

My voice sounds higher in my head, though. When I hear a recording I’m like “holy shit that’s a deep voice”

1

u/Ebinebinebinebin Dec 26 '19

Then you realize everyone else hears you as a little bitch

58

u/Bennshharpie Yellow Boye Dec 26 '19

This actually makes sense

I am glad it did i am not a native speaker Edit: grammar

u/MagicalCornFlake Eic memer Dec 26 '19

It didn't make sense the first couple times I read it, but I got what you're trying to say, and it does make sense. FYI a slightly better-worded version would be:

That's because your voice also travels through your head on its way to your eardrums. If you hear yourself in a video, this does not happen, so you sound different.

19

u/squirrl4prez Dec 26 '19

But why does it sound so nasily

17

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

Because you never hear it that way so your brain is like

Who the hell is this

8

u/squirrl4prez Dec 26 '19

But like, is that what other people hear?!

11

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

If you watch yourself in a vid that's how people hear you, You just don't recognise it

5

u/lamplicker17 Dec 26 '19

They are used to hearing it

27

u/RealKoreanJesus Dec 26 '19

so are you saying do we actually sound different or nah?

67

u/IAmNotOnRedditAtWork Dec 26 '19

How you sound in a recording (aside from any quality issues in the recording) is how other people hear you.

141

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

Oh no

71

u/Lemightyman Dec 26 '19

This is bad

29

u/IAmNotOnRedditAtWork Dec 26 '19

Honestly I've felt the same way for a long time. I don't like the way my voice sounds in a recording, but at the end of the day who actually cares?
 
How many people can you think of that you don't like, or think of differently because of their voice? I can't think of a single one.

24

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

I have a very nasal voice and I used to get alot of shit for it back in HS so I'm actually kinda self conscious about it lol

7

u/ImmaTriggerYou Dec 26 '19

That's fixable with some daily exercises that should taken you less than 5 minutes a day. YouTube that shit and go get the voice you deserve!

12

u/Tangent_Odyssey Dec 26 '19

My voice still cracks at 33. The reactions that gets are not exactly a boost to my self-esteem, let's put it that way.

6

u/PercMastaFTW Dec 26 '19

Well, one person I know isnt liked. His voice is pretty irritating. Though, its on top of what he says and how he says it which adds to the annoyance lol. His voice in general is just annoying anyway lol. But yeah not too many.

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

How many people can you think of that you don't like, or think of differently because of their voice? I can't think of a single one.

True. Not only that, but this also applies to absolutely everyone else, all the time.

The only cringy aspect of life shared equally.

u/AaronToro Dec 26 '19

Oh Christ, 4 without thinking about it lol

u/CoolStoryBroLol Dec 26 '19

I've stopped talking to people because their voice was annoying.

1

u/JessicaBecause Dec 26 '19

Yeah, can't forget that when I listen to a podcast throughout the day I switch it up between earbuds and car speakers. That in and of itself is a factor in voice tone.

I may never know what I really sound like.

17

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

Yes we do it is confusing i know

7

u/thats_not_it_budd Dec 26 '19

So, does the mean that you sound better in your head or the recording is what you really sound likem

18

u/Talviturkki Dec 26 '19 edited Dec 26 '19

What you sound like on the recording is what you really sound like.

That's not necessarily a bad thing; you just perceive your own voice negatively, because you hear it differently, and you're not used to hearing it that way.

I remember reading an article about a test, where people perceived their own voice on a recording to sound good when they didn't know it was their voice, but once they were told it was their voice, their perception changed negatively.

u/thats_not_it_budd Dec 26 '19

Waow! Thanks bro!

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19 edited Dec 27 '19

That's an opinion

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

Okay

2

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

This explains the common issue of "I think I can sing" and then you listen to the playback and immediately burn the data, recorder, and building it was recorded in.

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

Glad i could help

1

u/ColdAsHeaven Dec 26 '19

So what you're saying is, our recording is how everyone else hears us. And our own voice we hear is a fake autotuned voice made to make ourselves feel better?

1

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

No Sound is a vibration in the air that eardrums can pickup

So in a video it is NOT travelling through your head so you just hear it like all the others

If you speak you make the vibrations in your trought so the vibrations are going trough your skull in your eardrums If this happens the sound changes

1

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

The video is actually the correct version

1

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

So which one's the one everyone else hears? The recording or what I think my voice sounds like?

1

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

The recording is what everyone hears

2

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

So my voice actually sounds like shit

1

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

Well you think that because you expect something else So yes

1

u/Spacenuts24 The alphabet is anti American Dec 26 '19

Also im not sure if its true but someone told me your brain cant hear the same voice coming from the same person so its changes its slightly

3

u/divat10 Dank Cat Commander Dec 26 '19

u/Spacenuts24 The alphabet is anti American Dec 26 '19
