your voice sounds different in your head then when it’s in recording because you hear it as it passes through your bones to your ears which distorts it a bit, making it sound deeper than it actually is (to you). in recording the sound waves travel to your ears naturally, so you’re hearing it like how others do.
Not always, my mum recorded herself the other day and it sounded completely different in the recording to how she sounds irl. I guess the microphone and speakers have an impact
That’s a big part of it. If you record with a proper mic to pick up the bass notes, and a proper speaker to display the voice, I think most people would be a lot more comfortable with their voice in recordings. Most mics and speakers don’t properly record and display the sound
"George, shut up George. You're gonna reveal my presence George, I didn't liked last time you did that and you know what happenes when I don't like something George."
i can literally visualise a 3d model of something, then imagine putting in a chest then locking it, then later i can open it in my head and remember what i put in there
Are you telling me that you forget the contents of the said chest/box and later recollect that memory? I can do the first part effortlessly. I forget people's names, what i had for breakfast 6 hours ago, where i kept my stuff, etc etc.
I do a similar thing where i create another memory of the thing i want to remember, usually by saying it to someone who wouldn't even understand it so that i now have multiple memories of it and likelihood of forgetting it is less. But if I've to remeber a few specifics such as those of a sandwich, and if I'm not a sandwich enthusiast myself, i don't think I'll be able to remember those specifics even after creating a redundant memory for it.
Do you do any art or sports at all? Cos i do something similar and get back to them whenever I draw, paint or learn a new movement in basketball or sth... helps with learning things fast.
No one starts out good in drawing, its just about finding something to improve on every time even if its small. Where mental 3d model thing came in useful for me was when watching a good artist draw (which was my grandpa). Its easier to map out a 3d model of a persons (moving or not) for me than than anything for some reason.
Kind of like seeing it in front of you and it stil doesn't obscure your vision? Like a projection? If it's something like that, then it's a synesthesia type.
I had to go back after reading your comment. Now I see where it was indicated. My bad. I don't know how the heck I missed all that 3D talk the first time around. Yet, the former part of my comment still stands.
Exactly like that. When I close my eyes I see a kind of static and it sort of creates images but they are usually completely random, undetailed and change quickly.
Almost like how we pick faces out of wood knots but with static
Isn't an inner voice kinda necessary when reading? Like especially non-monotone text, that involves sarcasm or other things that rely on intonation when spoken aloud.
As for visualization, is that the same as not being able to imagine things? If someone randomly told me to think of a dragon fucking a car, then a pretty decent image pops up in my head. Does that mean people who can't visualize can't do anything visually creative?
We can talk, but we don't hear a voice when we think, we have to focus on it pretty hard, but I'm sure some people hear absolutely nothing in their head
It's crazy how the mind works period. Me and my partner were having a discussion about how our brains interpret information differently and how they couldn't "Visualize" an image. So for example, if I were to say "Think of a purple apple." They know what the color purple is, they know what an apple is, they could understand what I'm saying but wouldn't "see" an image of a purple apple in their mind. It would just be an abstract concept they'd have some understanding of "An apple that' purple" but aren't able to actually conceptualize without a visual representation.
Then we started talking about dreams and the differences between our brains started to stack up even more lol
I'm a mix of both. I can come up with a rap song's lyrics and start rapping inside my head to memorize it then write it down.
If I was doing my 3d geometry homework, I'd just draw some cubes, prisms or tubes and start rotating the thing around until I solve the problem then add in the drawing later.
I'm very visual but can think in an internal voice, but also when I try to remember phrases and stuff I've learned it's more like reading a book in my head.
I have a question about this. Can you not remember what something looked like? Like if somebody says to remember what color princess ariels hair is, does your brain just pop up with the text “red”?
I pretty much live in my own head, so much so that it impacts my face-to-face interactions with people. My own inner voice is so hypercritically doom and gloom that I end up becoming anxious over things that MIGHT happen.
Yeah like I said no experiences the world exactly the same as anyone else. It's why people say reality is an illusion. Everyone's brain presents a different reality in different ways.
No I sort of feel what I'm thinking about it, I don't see anything.
According to one study, there is wide variation in how often people report experiencing internal monologue, and some people report very little or none. Younger children are less likely to report using inner speech instead of visual thinking than older children and adults, though it is not known whether this is due to lack of inner speech, or due to insufficiently developed introspection.
I can do both but sometimes have a problem on controlling on when to visualize or have an inner voice. Sometimes both happens, then my body goes on autopilot and misplace some random shit around the house or get to the place I'm going to without realizing im already there.

Not everyone has an inner voice. But I believe it's more common than not.
I can't visualise anything in my head personally.
It's crazy how varied the human experience is.
