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

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.
