Everyone experiences this because we hear our voice through internal vibrations, while others hear it from the outside. So the voice you hear in recordings is how it actually sounds to everyone else. No one hears it the way you do.

Thanks for explaining, that's really interesting to learn! I've always thought I had a super annoying voice haha

I yet need to meet people who like their own voice (or nose) I am myself okay with it, but I also disliked it a lot when I heard it on recordings, because my brain would tell me "hey, that ain't me!"

I don't mind my nose anymore, but I've had surgery on it Lol
Definitely relate to feeling weird about my own voice in recordings. I don't think I've met many people who liked how their voice sounded in videos/audio clips!

Oh my yes. Never could stand hearing my recorded voice. But I'm good with the one in my head. My bad!

I bet Morgan Freeman doesn't like recordings of his voice, either.

You were always usually beautiful, but it's good to see you doing you, glad you are happy. I have heavy German, Italian, Norwegian, but l have made peace with me. l have a ski slope nose.

You do have an annoying voice.
That is why I turn off the sound when I am reading your posts.
No offence intended.
Just being autistically blunt.
