  • If you've ever listened to yourself speak in a voicemail or video, you've probably wondered aloud "is that what I really sound like?" The unfortunate truth is: yes, that's what you really sound like. Find out why your voice sounds so different from what you hear in your head.

    Why do we hate our own voices while others don't even mind.

      Let's say you like any burger more than any pizza. If I offered to buy a burger for you but it turned out to be a pizza, would that be somewhat disappointing? The same thing is going on here. You have a higher expectation of how your voice sounds, because you can hear it better. That is why it is disappointing when you hear how others hear your voice. On the other hand, other people never get to hear your bone conducted voice, so they don't expect to hear better than what they are hearing. Thus, they do not mind.

    I actually always thought that I was squeaky and was really self-conscious of it up until about 16 where I was told that I have a very deep voice and in some cases I sounded black. The reason why I heard my voice like this though was probably because I always despised my extremely squeaky voice before I hit puberty, which I hit pretty hard.

    @MichaelKatthyewYKM 7 лет назад +5

    De ce ti se pare ciudata vocea ta cand te auzi pe o inregistrare ??!
    Vocea ta sună într-un fel pentru tine și în alt fel pentru restul lumii, de aceea ți s-a părut ciudată când ți-ai auzit-o pentru prima dată pe o înregistrare. Pe scurt, explicația este următoarea: ne auzim propriile voci cu urechea internă, urechea medie și cu urechea externă, iar dezorientarea vine atunci când ne auzim vocea doar cu cea externă.
    În urechea medie se află trei oscioare ciocănaș, nicovală, scăriță (îți amintești de la biologie?) și este delimitată spre exterior de membrana timpanică. Vibrațiile membranei timpanice se transmit mai întâi la ciocănaș, apoi la nicovală și scăriță, iar de acolo la fereastra ovală, situată la limita dintre urechea medie și cea internă. Sunetul care ajunge în urechea internă este transmis prin intermediul oaselor craniului, ceea ce te face să crezi că vocea ta este mai joasă decât a altor oameni.
    Unii dintre noi nu suportăm să ne auzim vocea pe o înregistrare în primul rând pentru că ni se pare prea străină și în al doilea rând pentru că refuzăm să o asociem cu noi înșine. E clar că din această categorie nu fac parte... cântăreții.
    Dar nu-i nimic. Partea bună e că numai tu știi cum sună vocea ta pentru tine :)

    I hate hearing my own voice because it sounds stupid and I hate seeing pictures or video of myself because I look stupid.
