when i hear my Voice through a recording i want to Apologize to everybody/thing ive spoken to
Same 😭😭😭
Fr 😢😢
I swear, whenever I hear a voice recorded on a phone vs. on a camera or in real life, it sounds ever so slightly higher. This gives me hope because I loathe the high pitch of my recorded voice since I sound deeper to myself and I'm not sure how people tolerate listening to me. I know part of this is psychological, but hearing a recording of myself sucks. But still, after listening to other people compare their voices to their phone recordings, I think the right thing to say would be, "imagine that recording but slightly lower and that's what others hear."
Exactly, don’t be so hard on yourself 😁
I'm the opposite, mu voice in my head isn't that deep but when I hear it recorded its very deep and different
@@stxticnathan6627Same I was about to say that
I was in vr and I was watching a RUclipsr in the same game as me, he sounded like a 3 year old on phone, but then In vr he sounded like 14 which he was
I love singing and I have been told I can sing beautifully when I play karaoke with my family and friends but I often record my voice to make my own soft heartfelt music and my voice though... I sound like a 12 year old who cannot sing at all I sound so different...😭
Same! I don't exactly have the best singing voice but all my friends say my voice is pleasuring to hear as i play the guitar. But when i record myself, it sounds like a little kid singing, kinda of a childish voice. Is that how other people hear us?
Same
i don't even hate my voice in recordings anymore, i just accept it for who i am
Fantastic! I'm going through that challenge right now, today. It was great to read your comment. thank you
Same. Until I tried making a fivrr.
I sound like a dude when I play back my recorded audios 😭😂
Lmao
These comments make me feel better. It’s comforting knowing I’m not the only one who feels like I sound weird.
@#? 😭😭🤭
Thats awesome!
@@joshuamclean4588 huh! No, it's not!
Brit: “2,000 pound microphone”
American: “wow thats a big mic!”
American: "That's a ton!"
Brit: "No it's not."
Big? Or do you mean heavy
@@Estellesiit would have to be big to be that heavy
My voice sounds way deeper and more monotone on recording then in my head XD
Deeper? What kind of recordings?
@@ImproveYourVoice any recording. Now i am filming for my guitarbuilding chanel and the first video i opened for editing shocked me. There is also when i am hearing a recording of me talking trough a headset or voice message...does not matter the device its always deeper. Guess i do not have that much matter in my head that would absorb the higher frequencys 🤣
Ha ha lol! Musicians brains are wired differently I’m sure. It’s a curious case as most people I’ve encountered have the exact opposite experience. Does it bother you?
@@ImproveYourVoice it did at first. But i think I am getting used to it slowly. I am also trying to speak mor high pitched while i record so it kind of evens out in the edit.
@@Steph-de6ne I'm literally the same way ;-;
What I realized thanks to you is that with proper warm up and practice you can dramatically change the way you sound! Thank you sooooo much for all the helpful insights and exercises.
Just compare this video with the video "the most amazing articulation workout" from a couple of month ago. Your voice in this other video just sounds ten times deeper and more resonant. That shows me that you really know what you are talking about, because you can actually change the way you sound and are not just born with "a perfect voice".
Thanks again and greetings from a German guy currently living in Glasgow trying to improve his voice :)
Sounds like A German Glaswegian accent might need help articulating lol!
@@graffitisunset haha XD
Yea, the Glaswegian accent is not necessarily the easiest to understand ;P
So true!!
You said very true,I used to record my voice in my mobile,when I hear it back it's sucks 😭
I might do a second video for this to show how professional recordings sound!
@@ImproveYourVoice that's exciting,feel good,make it quick 😂
Es curioso, yo hablo español y me pasa lo mismo, pero escuchando a cualquier persona que habla inglés, siento que suena genial. Estoy seguro de que me gustaría tu voz.
I think it sounds exactly the same lol
You just don't have a visual which can change how you interpret it.
Audiobooks and singers have double vocals and are compressed (which was stated). With that said, confidence is really what people feel and hear.
I sound like a lazy and young kid 💀
Hey, in a part of the video you said you got more comfortable listening to your voice these days, May I know how you`ve been working your voice? I`m going through that process of wanting to sound better on recordings.
Thanks a lot for your videos!
Process??? Experience and practice lead to comfort and ease!
I want to be a voice actor and when I told my mom she asked for a voice and I got nervous, so what should I do to not be nervous in front people while doing a voice?
I struggle with this as well. But as soon as I hit the record button I just get worried idk why
Practice will help! Don’t feel like you have to ‘perform’ it’s just speaking. And only a very small percentage of voice actors ‘do voices’
Insecurity often comes from inexperience. Keep doing it until you’re comfortable with it.
Speaking from my own experience, what I've found when I tell people that I'm a voiceover actor, 9 times out of 10, they say the same thing, in different variations: "Really? Let me hear ya do a voice!" or "Really....cool, what characters/impressions/accents/etc. can ya do?" Etc., etc., etc. Ray, lemme tell ya, this isn't about what you yourself can or cannot do, it has WAY more to do with the fact that people outside the business generally have no *clue* what a voiceover actor is or does, or the wide range of types of work they do! They think it's nothing more than doing impressions or wacky characters, or even just being a commercial v/o actor! They don't understand that there is WAY more to the v/o world and career than just that. So don't beat yourself up because of the ignorance of others, no matter how supportive they may be *trying* to be. Stay focused, do just what Darren said and keep practicing/improving, and just keep pushing forward, despite the naysayers or unknowledgeable around you. :-)
I feel like I just sound like I'm constantly high even when I'm not when I hear myself in recordings. It's so much deeper and it's so much more drawn out than what I hear through what I hear with the resonance in my skull.
HEY, just randomly found you and i HAVE TO say one thing - keep it going. You have awesome energy, you're speaking facts and teaching people in way which I/they don't find boring... and that really doesn't happen to me often.
Good job.
I've always had a stupid nasally voice (I swear that's why I'm an introvert) and it sounds TERRIBLE both in real life and on camera, like I have a really bad cold.
Woaaah! Finland?! That's cool (pun intended). Tervetuloa Suomeen!
Kiitos, kiitos! Missa sa olet?
@@ImproveYourVoice minä olen hyvä
Kiva!!!
I just recorded my voice and it sounds like I am stuck in the throat or flat.
I hate my voice I'm so depressed I have a combination of two much southern draw mixed with nasaly it sounds awful I feel like I have a voice curse 😭
Me too😢
I sound like a girl and I’m a short dude. It doesn’t help my situation at all… sigh
I dont even like my voice normally, even when i hear it without a recording.
When i hear it in a recording i want to die
Me too to be honest.
my voice sounds like a little girl in the recording😑. While my voice is a little hoarse. I've bought earphones several times, the sound is still the same. Maybe the problem is the phone doesn't have an audio jack. It is not easy to find a suitable dongle.
the thing is back in the days my brother and i played a lot around with recording divices, tape cassete decks..i can rememebr our voices sounded like our own but just a lil bit different, nowadays on a phone, no matter what kind, your own voice will sound completely different..what brings me to the conclusion: the reason why your own recorded voice sound completely off is mainly because of cheap and bad recording divices which are in every phone. Nothing more nothing less
honestly what i think as well
Thanks I really needed this
Very welcome! Its simple really do't you think?
@@ImproveYourVoice yep very simple
Sweet! 🙏
My voice is nasally and super annoying on video. Can’t seem to speak right, bad pitch, bad tone, just cringe.
Any ideas why that might be? Are you trying to speak differently or somehow perform?
My recorded voice says "S" so weird
I hate the sound of my singing voice recorded . It’s too deep
Hello teacher, my English teacher told me my voice is melodic. But I think it sounds weak when I listen to it. :'(
I feel straining on my throat too when I try to speak louder
@@princessramonah21 Your teacher is right she can hear your real voice.
It's just 6° Celsius in my city and I am already frozen 😂😅
Summertime ☀️🌞🌅
I have always wanted to be a singer, and I have always been singing since I was a kid! ❤ I remember the first time I recorded my voice, I broke down in tears and said, "Mum, does my voice really sound like this? I sound like a baby!"
Hi Darren, unrelated question. Do you have any quick tips for avoiding a sore throat when you're doing a deep, gravely voice with a lot of vocal fry for an extended period?
You might need to actually work one on one with a coach for that one I think Jonathan as they will surely need to check you physically. Stay hydrated, keep the air moving and maintain as much relaxation in your approach as possible! 😁
@@ImproveYourVoice Thanks so much for the response. It's amazing to see that even with such a big channel you are so quick to engage with your audience. Your videos definitely give the impression that you genuinely want to provide actionable, useful advice. Keep up the great work, you've certainly earned my sub and I'll see you when you're at 100k
@@jonathanlautre489 That's so helpful! Thanks for asking that question, I was wondering a similar thing 😊
Thank you for this video i was disappointed and upset i thought my voice was higher but i love my deeper voice so thanks!
Hi Darren, we are waiting for your analysis of Jeremy Irons and Jack Nicholson voices. When can we expect those videos? Keep up the good work 💯🙂
LMAO! My voice is horrible but I never stopped singing because it's my passion, and ofc I only sing to myself. LOL
Darren, I have a more nuanced question, please... How can I use my voice in my "private spaces" (not performing/socialising) and feel comfort being functional for myself?
I have dysphonia, SD, it has been getting worse over time and for me it manifests as having a 'fine' voice when in public, performing, singing but when I am in my own space, alone, my voice goes to sh*t. I can't read books to family, I can't record any voice work in my own time (unless I put on an accent) ... It's incredibly draining to have to be presenting to others in order to know "I'm ok" and not "defunct".
Very informative thanks a lot
You're welcome.
Hello I really want to speak more clearly and word all my sentences clearly
Great, check out my articulation videos they should help!
I hate how my voice sounds like on recording lmao, my voice is so high compared to the rest of my friends and I keep slurring words so it's so hard to understand me, also the way I laugh is so cursed bro I feel bad for my friends bro
I don't like my recorded voice, of this is how i sound then damn..
I should appreciate people who are there , still bearing with it 😅...
Yeah had a mental breakdown about this thx
Yeah I try it and it sounds like A 5 year old kid know England a bit
You look jonny sins😂😂
Why thank you! 😎
For some people: Recorded voice > Voice that you hear yourself.
My voice sounds stupid 🤣I suck at everything even my voice sucks😭
No matter how edgy i try to sound, it has a subtle Spongebob tone 😭
I have a good acting voice, then I record it and listen back... I sound bored :(
My voice has a hole fucking different accent
I like the sound of my voice through my phone recordings more. At least I can use the phone as an excuse to why I’m horrible 😂
I sound like a female when I listen to my recorded voice but I'm actually a male, lol.
My voice sound very weak in iphone 😢
Never trust the iPhone 😁
@@ImproveYourVoice LOL
My grandpa used to say that you should usually not compare yourself with anyone else and even if you do, do it to yourself like here just record many times of your voice and compare them instead someone elses voice
My voice is like a girl when i record it
Bro i sound 10 but im 16😭
Why do i sound retarted tho?
I do have a deep voice but it makes it more deeper when i record it
Oh wow. Quite the opposite for me! 😮
@@ImproveYourVoice Same, My voice is higher and brittle.
Lol it might be warmer outside if u had some hair 🤣 jk thanks for this video, I always cringe when hearing my voice played back
Oi!!! Me having hair won’t warm up the neighbourhood lol 😂
@@ImproveYourVoicePut a fire inside your jacket when you're outside. This will make you warmer but people will ask why the smoke coming out from your jacket LOL.
@@raiyyancox2774 Good point!
On my phone my voice sounds like a manly chipmunk with the vocal vocabulary of a 3 year old child… I’m a female adult ⊂((・⊥・))⊃. Do better recording and proper cameras help you. Is that really what I sound like?? Maybe not according to this video. I was just playing around on my phone since I was bored and now I’m petrified…
Bro I sound like a lil girl
I get really disheartened when I hear a recording of myself singing. Why am I like this lol.
Absolutely. When I speak english to myself, I feel like im sounding very British, but when I record myself speaking english, I sound like a german trying to imitate an american accent.
Thanks for that. Really good advice and reassuring words 👍
The phone was definitely higher pitch and sounded weird, like thinner than what you sounded like even from the camera.
I sound like a female when I played back the animal documentary project video I did and at first it was a handsome narrator voice became a feminine voice 💀.
I hate my voice
My voice always sounds horrible when i record like me singing and i hate it and everyone always say oh ur voice is so bad and u will never make it but u know now listening to this i now know that its not my fault fo my voices
Hey, how do I figure out my REAL voice?
Depends what you mean by that?
@@graffitisunset I mean I wanna figure out my real voice because I don't know if the voice I hear when I speak is my voice.
Did you watch the video?
@@ImproveYourVoice Yes.
Have you tried listening to your voice recorded?
Your voice sounds good
The iPhone made it sound bad quality, don’t worry ab it took much, it sounds fine
Thanks for that video. Maybe my voice sounds different in online class LOL. Want to be warmer then wear 800,000 jackets. This will sure make you warmer. Try it.
Perfect, minus 17 here right now!
Hi. Just saying Hi because i think you earmed that. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks mate!. It's been 9 years since I stopped singing.
When I'm singing I feel really clear, my pronunciations sound clear and my tones sound great. But when I listen to it back on recording it sounds like I'm mumbling, doesn't sound loud enough and I sound monotone. Like a robot! Why in the hell is going on? Why would I sound so monotone on recording?
Hi,
I love this video, I really needed it. I'm very self conscious about my voice and how it sounds like when recorded.
Thanks my brother for this info
🙏🙏🙏
I do have a good singing voice in person, but when I record myself... it sounds kind of bad. 😒
Dude I had to record on my phone for a audition as Regina so of course I had to sing world burn I’ve been singing it infront of my mom or friends and they all love it when it came to the day I had to record I listened back and i felt like crap! Your video is making me reassure myself that I don’t sound like shit lol!
Hi.
Im a 17 year old male, and i sound like a literal child on recording
True
Thanks 🙏
I literally sound like if 🤓 had a voice that's not even a joke or an exaggeration
My problem is I’m trying to build up a RUclips channel. I don’t have a microphone yet and my voice is just a consistent problem with making my videos
I swear I’ll be singing and it sounds great and then when I listen to the recording of my voice it’s sooo bad at least to to me, other people like it though for whatever reason
Can you say "My money don't jiggle jiggle"
Facts I sounds kid in the video game and people don't believe that I'm 15 they thought I was 9 or 10
Is the breathing content from your course no longer free?
Yes it is.
In phone recordings, my singing sound worse than when I sing with a microphone and not recording :o
I feel like I just sound like I'm constantly high even when I'm not when I hear myself in recordings. It's so much deeper and it's so much more drawn out than what I hear through what I hear with the resonance in my skull.
Voice review of rose leslie please
Ooh I shall check it out
Yea, a combination of my voice and the fact I suck at talking I just really hate hearing myself talk.
I learned to just tell people that I don't have a mic when I join voice chats.
So today i recorded myself for the first time singing a song i have been singing for forever and i just hate it my voice sounds horrible is it my real voice am i hearing what everyone else hears?
I heard that the recorded voice is your real voice
Sobbing bc I do think my voice sounds weak and thin when I record. Even on my nice condenser mic with the interface I feel like it sounds really mid.
That's one snazzy jacket 👈
I sound extremely weird when I hear my voice. I always get made fun of it and that’s one of the reasons that I don’t talk. I asked my friends about how my voice sounded like and they responded “it sound like a autistic diabetic disorder Little weird kid”. I don’t what to do with my voice, I really want to get it fix and improve. Im 16 years old and I had this voice ever since I was 12 and it still sound the same. I really thought about ending my life because of how I sounded. Imma give it a few years and if it don’t change imma get surgery and if that don’t work imma really kill myself (not joking) I fucking hate my voice so much. Everyone in my family has better voices than I do even my friends. Idk what to do man I need this voice to change I can’t even say the word “Chat or Chicken”. Every time I say it it sounded like sicken or shat. Plz some one help.😢
Please don't think like that. You are worth so much more than what other people think of your voice. I have also been made fun of for mine and I know how it feels. For a while I avoided speaking because of my insecurities but then decided fuck it, it doesn't matter what other people think. And I started coming out of my shell, talking to people more and realized how much I was missing out on. I realized the majority of people don't give a shit about what your voice sounds like, and for the few assholes that do, that's their problem not yours. If you need help with your pronunciation, maybe you could consider a speech therapist. I've never been to one, but I've heard they help a lot.
i pitched my voice ever so slightly lower and all of my insecurities melted away i think next yt vid i make i'm actually gonna record a VO :DDDDD
Is it just my voice or my phone lol
Yes! What you were saying there at the end about recording on different equipment than usual! Ya know?....the FIRST thing I noticed from the minute you greeted at the top, I *did* hear that it sounded different! There was much more echo from the room being captured! :-)
i record on a computer, should i just get a better mic?
Thank you, great uplifting words of encouragement.
My voice is like a dying pig
I've noticed that when my voice is recorded and played back on say, an iPhone, it sounds pretty rich and deep (as friends have stated) not quite as I hear it but pretty good still, odd thing is recording my voice through my computer capturing clips it sounds baddd, like all the low end is sucked out and kind of muffled
Sameee
Thank you so much this video helped

thanks buddy i appreciate you❤
