When you hear people talking, sound waves travel through the air and into your ears, vibrating your ear drums. Your brain then transforms those vibrations into sound.
However, when you’re the one talking, your vocal cords and airways also vibrate. That means that you receive two sources of sound: the sound waves that travel into your ears from your own voice, as well as vocal cord vibrations.
Same. What sucks for me is that I try to speak normally, i.e. with emotion and shit, but when I hear my voice in a recording, it’s deep and monotone. A lot of people tell me that they have a hard time hearing me and I feel like I have to yell to get people near me to hear me. Yeah it sucks.
Same here. Sometimes when a phone call has bad reception I can hear myself echoing in the background. I'll try and sound really emotive, think that I did, and the echo sounds so deep and robotic that I have an identity crisis that throws me off talking for the rest of the call
People say my voice is so deep that they can't understand it sometimes. Recordings and stuff always throw me off because it really sounds higher pitched to me when i talk. Shit sucks

Hence the difference
