Why Our Voice Sounds Weird on Recordings

Hate your own voice on recordings? You are definitely not alone. When you speak,

you actually hear your voice in two different ways. First is air conduction:

sound waves traveling through the air into your ears. Second is bone conduction:

vibrations traveling through your skull directly to your inner ear. These internal vibrations

add a deeper, bassy quality that only you can hear. Microphones only catch

air waves, so that higher, thinner voice is how you really sound.
