- Ever heard a recording of yourself and hated the way you sound? It's a common thing, and has to do with sound vibration...or the lack thereof. Trace describes what we actually sound like when we speak, plus why we may be drawn to the sounds of others.

I cringe so much when I hear myself. I don't understand how my friends put up with my voice.
Az21 mine sounds super raspy
Does this effect happen for singers when they hear their own songs?
So true...
+Devilofdoom I'm rlly curious to know that!
Az21 I used to think that I could sing really well, and then I listened to a detailed recording of me singing and I'm a whole octave higher than I hear myself, and it sounds like shit
Every time I hear a recording of my voice I want to never speak again.
I'm not joking, but when I hear my voice the way others do it sounds like a baby combined with someone vomiting and a 4 year old man child screaming as if he saw everything that he is afraid of at once. Record my voice and put it in High Infrasound to make the worlds ears fall into anarchy.
nams sck same. I sound like a piglet on helium, peeled and in a pool of lemon juice
Same
My voice recorded sounds like some creepy old guy.
mine sounds like a six year old,no joke people actually told me this
So I sound and look way more uglier than I think.
These feels are known
true same with me
Xanxei *And be careful. Sometimes they are staring in delight, and wonder, and going, "Wow!" for all the wrong reasons. Don't always mistake such a reaction for awe at your amazing dance moves.
Low self esteem.
Nah, I just sound like I'm a lot younger.
I'm so sorry for everybody that has ever heard my voice.
haha
Hahaha
same
now I'm all scared. my brain filters out imperfections??! am i uglier than i had originally thought i was?!?!
For women, it's the opposite. I'm surprised they didn't clarify in the video. Only men filter out imperfections.
celticsaldirganlik fuck, this is not good news for me x(
You can take a picture of yourself, y'know?
celticsaldirganlik Guess I'm one of those weird men that can't filter out imperfections. .n.
Take a picture of yourself from the side. You will look disgusting maybe
My voice actually sounds deeper when recorded and people tell me I intimidate them, I'm like WTF, I'm speaking with a completely normal tone, but they always tell me "stop yelling", so I speak with a slightly lower tone and then they whine "You are too quiet, I can't hear you", for the love of......choose already, because there is no middle ground for me to go to.
I thought I was the only one!!!!
Yes im Not Alone :D
That sounds like an AWEsome voice! :D Let 'em hear it! They deserve the full blown DEEP you.
even your words are intimidating. just saying.
DeepbloodFang An here i was thinking i was the only one who thought this....
I work as a journalist, and so I often have to listen to recordings of my interviews with sources. Every single time I wince when my voice comes on. Every. Single. Damn. Time.
Todd Foster Hard news. I used to primarily report on politics, but thanks to budget cuts and the workforce being trimmed, I now have a broader coverage range. Why?
sooo.....I like how I hear my voice, especially when I sing...But when I record myself, It sounds like I cant sing at all and It sucks
I know right
chloe staub Look into how to properly use recording software, and how to mix audio and take levels. It's all in the program and use of the program.
Ikr
same
chloe staub same
Could they make a mic or a speaker that adjusts how it plays our voices to make them sound like how we hear them even though it's technically incorrect? I think it would be cool to hear people's voices the way they do.
that would be awesome
the 120hz area must be amplified ~10db
yes
risker34 wanna hear how your voice sounds to others? Put 2 notebooks over both of your ears and speak
DSP is your friend.
My voice sounds deep when i record that's why i hate it so much but now that you say that that's what other people really hear then i might just not talk anymore lol
same and I want to do game plays but I sound like a boy.. :(
star Cole I wanna try vlogging but i dont like my voice too :((
:(
EVERYONE
Hates their voice
So, just do it ✔
Lucre serio ok thanks :)
When I was younger, I tried karaoke and freaked out at the sound of my own voice. Every time I made a sound, I had to stop because my voice was so strange. There was a slight echo as well.
Karaoke microphones usually do have a bit of an echo to it. If you love to sing, sing away; don't let the sound of your own voice stop you. Even Celine Dion can't stand to listen to her own voice.
***** LOL WTF I DIED WHEN I SAW UR COMMENT
***** Ah, such an eloquent and rational response. However, good sir, if you please expand upon your most interesting comment with particular emphasis on reason. There were a couple point I'm afraid I did not fully grasp.
@@chibilaichi Celine Dion should hate her own voice. It's terrible lol
@@remylebeau2357 Her oldest son would agree with you. He never liked to hear Celine Dion sing. Now whether it was because he had to share his mother with the world, or he viewed her voice as terrible, that we would have to assume.
You answered the question about why there is a difference between the voice we hear in our head when we speak and the recording of our voice. But you did not explain why humans typically have a negative reaction to this difference. The voice sound waves passing through bone cause our inner voice to sound deeper. Why do we prefer the deeper version of our voice?
It should be obvious, deeper=stronger individual
That part's easy to answer - we like the version of our voice that we usually hear because it's the version that we usually hear. :)
It's exactly the same reason why we're more comfortable looking at our reflection than a photograph of ourself - because we're more used to seeing our reflected image in a mirror. (Although with the rise in popularity of unflipped cameraphone images and being able to record ourselves anywhere anytime, this may not remain true for future generations).
It's really the opposite for me, I think I sound deeper and raspier like I have a few pins in my throat.
I know I'm late but there is a TED talk about this. It was I while since I saw it and I didn't understand everything so I might be wrong. Basically the recording is close enough to what we hear in our head that we immediately recognize it as our own but it's different enough that it feels really awkward to hear.
Wait- so my voice sounds normal to other people?
What exactly do they hear? This odd sound that we hear...that's the one that everyone hears?
Why wouldn't one of the voices coming out of our ears sound odd? I mean, it goes through the ear the same way as those that come out of a recording machine, right?
Ibara Kasen I heard what he said, it's just a bit difficult for me to understand exactly what it means. I was hoping someone would explain it to me in a simpler way so that I could understand it better.
Bamber
when you hear yourself when talking you hear through your bones so it sounds deeper but when you are listening to a recording of your voice you hear it like it actually sounds without passing through bones.
damn… my voice is already so high pitched… then it means that the child like voice that i hear when i record myself is my real voice? omg! nooo!
When I talk it sounds normal and sexy.
But when I record myself talking, I sound literally like I have autism.
I wish I could afford a voice coach or something, that way I can establish a way of speaking that I know sounds good. Then I'll just spend the rest of my life being fake.
Cazzathesnail it's his voice, he can do whatever he wants with it
I have Autism so it’s probably a little worse for me and I can’t Correctly say certain letters
Just because I'm the only on who hears it, doesn't mean it's not my real voice.
It's my real voice to me.
I seriously hate ads that you cant click away😡
totally off topic i know. Just had to put that out there
+überguy I would literally die without Adblock.
My favorite accent is Obama.
***** Im Obama color.
***** Well thats fucking news to me!
***** He's mixed.
That's a person not a accent :P
Which Obama accent is your favorite? Look up 'Obama's Southern Accent' where he fakes his accents to pander to either Black people or White people. He's a phony.
I hate the way my voice sounds in recordings, too. I sound like a munchkin when, in my head, my voice is much deeper. I think the New Zealand accent is really cool.
Thanks, I am from New Zealand.
I hate my voice in a recording. It sounds like a sassy girl telling people what to do.
So when I sing radioactive, I really do "feel it in my bones"
That's weird I feel like the voice that I hear is higher than my actual voice
My whole life has been a lie...
😂😂
HAHAHA
Deeper??? everytime i hear my voice out of a recording my voice actually sounds deeper than i hear it..
Thats exactly what I thought.
same here and others hear it lot deeper also from the recording.
It's the same for me.
I wonder why that's the case.
OfficialVanDyce same
OfficialVanDyce Fuq I've baby voice Fuq I hate my voice too
Ya, I hate my voice. But I hate it more on camera. It sounds really high-pitched, so high pitched it makes me sound 7 when I'm 12. *sigh*...Why...
Nuha Islam Cool!
woah ur 12, whens ur bday
It makes my voice low - pitched. I would expect that since I don't talk much and that my voice is quiet and is hard for me to scream loudly.
xKrystalious I am the same way.
I don't like my voice after someone in 6th grade told me they didn't like me at first because I had an "annoying voice". Later, I asked someone else if they thought I had an annoying voice, and they said they thought so too...
That's fucked up I'm sorry
+rob allman 10/10 suggestion will try
Get a text to speech thingy like Stephen Hawkins.
I wish some people listened to themselves more when they speak. I'm talking about the ones that DO sound annoying. I may sound annoying myself. But that is why I'm viewed as "shy" & "quiet."
I love your icon, biitch :)
I used to hate my voice but I've grown to love it. Especially with my accent (didn't have the same accent then). It's like raspy (not the smoker raspy kind). In my ears my voice sounds really pitchy but when I record it everything sounds 100 times sexier for some reason.
I even tried saying "I took a shit today" and I didn't sound that bad
alright then spongebob
My voice how I normally hear it, and how I hear a recording of it, is widely different.
I love all the accents, British, southern, Hispanic, northeast... They all have their own unique character and charm.
I like the sound of my voice.. BUT IT'S NOT MINE!
Same I like how my voice sounds to me but it sounds TERRIBLE ON RECORDING
I like my voice inside my head better, but my recording voice don't sound bad. The only thing I hate about it is that, I sound a bit monotone and has less range of voice compare to my inner voice.
Obviously *Captain* Jack Sparrow.
Woah, who's this dashing young fellow?
Definitely he didn't know TestTube Plus
+Yoppy Halilintar I find mine to deep
So recordings are really how we sound? When my sister recorded herself, the recording didn't sound like her to me, so, do we really sound like recordings of ourselves? Just a thought, because, I hate the way I sound when recorded, :P
Cayla Xue It also depends what microphone you have (Better quality = Better sound)...
Mikedaily That explains a lot! Thanks! :)
CayCay X recordings are also coloured by the microphone you have. no microphone is truly "flat" that have certain bumps and dips in their spectrum usually in the higher freqs. and some in the 500-1000Hz range. so some recordings sound a bit more throaty that real life.
snoopyguy21 Ohhhhhh, that clears up a lot of stuff, glad I don't actually sound as bad as the recordings on my phone, :P
I don't dislike my voice, but I always find it too high
Neon Markov Tell it to stop smoking weed.
Handgun777 Ha. Ha.
+Handgun777 Beat comment of 2015?
I remember the first time I heard my voice on the camera, it was totally random and shocking at the same time. I kept telling my friends "Why is my voice like that?, Nooo, I don't sound like that" but yeah...so weird how we can't hear our own voice properly.
this video fucked me up...what do i actually look like then?
Not to scare you more, but you have never seen yourself. You can see really, really close approximations. But you can't (at this point) see a perfect view of how others see you.
oh wow great
Photographs/video are the best we have. This is also the reason why so many people hate their own photos.
Don't worry about your physical appearance so much. It doesn't matter.
assbackwards
South African. Like Wikus' accent from District 9.
Had no idea it was this popular, or even known.
AKA occasionally a little Kiwi/Australian and occasionally really British.
Gradius
But with soft tongues on hard consonants like 't' so they sound closer to 'th'.
I'm in the opposite camp. I perceive my voice to be higher in my head than it comes out on recordings.
Faux Mustache same.
I recorded my voice recently and was shocked to find that I could tolerate it now, which made no sense. During the video I remembered my call center work. They always gave you a little feedback of your own voice in the headset and after a little while I developed my "telephone voice" which sounds closer to what's in my head and I un-consciously ended up using when making the recording.
I luv British Accents!
Matthew Thoms
Awesome!!
did you mean scottish, english,or welsh
analothor
English
LPS&MLP:FIMMotionPictures too bad the slang ruins it these days
analothor
Yeah
When I hear other peoples voices in recordings, I think they sound the exact same, even they think they sound different, but I don't. Same goes for the mirror, apparently that doesn't look like you, but when I'm standing in a mirror next to someone, I think they look exactly the same in the mirror as they do right next to me. Explain that.
Jesse everything's a lie
Jesse I discovered today how my voice actually sounds I'm disgusted with myself
If this is true, why does a recording of my voice sound DEEPER than it does in my head when I actually speak?
But my voice sounds deeper when I listen to my own recorded voice
thats bcs yor jar
That's so weird, because my voice sounds deeper in recordings than it sounds when I hear myself
hum i feel like my voice sounds deeper when i listen to it then when i normally hear when i speak
Same here
Dublin, it reminds me of my family. Y'know, 'Feck off, ya conts' and the like? Yup. What a classic
When you guys say 'British', do you mean that middle class posh, classy London/Oxford accent? Because Britain is made up of several countries, and in Southern East England ALONE it varies from 'Are you quite alright?' to 'Y'oll rah mae?', let alone the rest of England or the rest of Britain.
Y'know I think it means whatever you want it to...even if that unfortunately has to be that you think it means you need to display publicly your fantastic knowledge of British dialects,
I internally facepalm now when I hear someone say "he spoke with a British accent" or anything like that.
I think it's more the posh but only a slight posh accent When i talk to alot of americans they love my accent cuz i do video commentaries so i pronounce my words as best as possible for me so i have picked up a more posh accent than most british people and for some reason they love it. Can't think why but you know.
I learned that my voice sounds extremely different when I was working at a nursing home and my phone in my pocket accidentally started recording. I listened back to it and was amazed at how much I sounded like my cousin! It was actually pretty cool because I love the sound of her voice. I'm also a singer, so I'm unaccustomed to hearing my voice by itself vs with a choir...but as to your question: My favorite accent is the British accent and I love it because it feels sophisticated.
There's no such thing as a "British accent". It's either English, Scottish or Welsh.
+Matt Leach Indeed there are loads of different English accents, at least 3 Scottish accents, at least 3 Welsh accents, and at least 2 Northern Irish accents. People referring to the 'British Accent' are probably thinking of one particular English accent that isn't particularly common.
But doesn't English come from Britain?
Or a mix of the three countries?
+$corpion530 English came from Angles
But it's possible to be Scottish or Welsh and still have the typical "British" accent (which is RP)
I like my own voice =/
It blew my mind when I _really_ heard it in a recording and then I thought it was even better.
When I hear my own voice, my brain says nope just nope..
Then I wonder how people feel when they hear my deep voice..
But then I think to myself that they're probably used to it, so they won't mind.
Man, life is a Weird thing.
I like difference accents for different reasons. Southern cause it's funny and I like country music. British cause it's classy and beautiful. Australian cause to me it's a very "happy" accent.
Depends which British accent.. Because there are plenty different accents here in the UK that are not classy, and not beautiful.
BaDumTss Right, can't forget those. Well I was referring to the classier version from my previous comment, but the less classy ones are funny too!
BaDumTss
Yet both Sean Bean and Ian McKellen have fantastic accents, despite one being a northman and the other a souther.
Well not to sound cocky but i really love my voice but i do get shy to talk over the phone with someone new.
Wow, just about the only video on this subject that takes even a second to say why we hate our own voices.
Almost every single other video on the subject says it'll explain why, but then only tells why our voices sound different than what we normally hear, which makes them very misleading.
Thanks for making one of the few videos where you're not lying out your ass on what is going to be said in the video.
After seeing so many misleading videos, it's truly appreciated.
I think my favourite accent is an American accent from New Jersey. It just sounds so comical and ridiculous, added to the fact that Americans speak a strange version of English, makes it just generally funny to me.
Just to let you know, nearly everyone in New Jersey does not have a "Jersey accent". If you're referring to the accents you hear on that show "Jersey Shore", I think you should know that they aren't even from Jersey; they're from New York. Their accents are close to a Brooklyn accent. There's also the Boston accent. I can assure you that the "Jersey accent" is nonexistent in New Jersey. Exchange students from California stayed for months and they were surprised that we sounded just like them. I just thought you should know that your favorite accent is probably the Boston or New York accent. That ridiculous show is degrading, and gives a bad rep to New Jersey.
The cast from Jersey Shore are Italian-Americans and I know that's not the actual Jersey accent. It's not the Boston-Irishy accent that I've heard while in New England, but probably more like Brooklyn. I'm not American (obviously) but I just find it genuinely humourous. American accents in general are funny to me because of the way their English developed and the way they sound. I'm sure to Americans the rest of the allophonic world sounds funny as well.
And for the record, I think that show was pointless and for me at least, not very entertaining. The theme song was quite catchy though.
I don't blame you. Everyone thinks American accents are funny. Just wanted to make sure that you didn't think all people in Jersey talked like that! According to my friends from Cali, we have such valley girl accents.
Of course I don't believe all people from Jersey speak like that! That's like saying all Englishfellows sound like Londoners (sod off anyone that's going to start the London fight), or all Canadians have Francophone accents.
Californians sound a little bland to be honest, I don't fully understand where the "valley girl" thing comes from. People from Canada's west coast are sometimes held akin to "valley accents" but I don't believe they sound anything like Californians.
AJ Zebadua
I'm from British Columbia and you're right, we don't sound like Californians. I also don't get why many people think that all Canadians have Francophone accents.
Who's watching this in 2017!?
I'm always surprises with how deep my voice actually is, when I hear myself it sounds a lot higher
It's true. I hate my voice. Not because of how high it sounds but because of my speech impediment.
I cannot ever recognize my own voice when my friends record a video of something we were doing and I was in the background unless I'm the only girl there or I said something that I remember. It sounds much more softer and feminine than I think it doesxD
How come when I hear the sound of my talking voice it sounds so foreign but my singing voice sounds identical to my ears weather I'm singing it or listening to an earlier recording?
"Jack Sparrow" Haha nice impersonation there :p
Why is the pitch of my voice lower when it is recorded?
Problem is that I'm only 14. While it seems awesome, people misjudge of a 28-year old man and I'm only 5'5".
Same for me. I sound like a dude!
Megan Reed Huh
it could be your recording i found this video contradictory to what i've experienced i only found this to be true with a shitty microphone any quality microphone sounds much better
On recording my voice is alot higher
I've always found that my voice is actually deeper than how I'm used to hearing it.
When I was 11, I used to think my voice was like a 14 year old. When I heard my voice, it was so... 11 year old!
when i speak english i've got a mixture of english and irish with a dash of scottish...but when im drunk it's all jack sparrow!
When I hear my own voice through a video it sounds SO much deeper then what I hear when talking.
Mine sounds like a baby XD
Noticed the flip :3!
Scot's accent is my favorite. :D
Anyone else always thought they had a deep voice and just now learned that it only sounds that way to ourselves? I really did dislike my own voice, but it starts to make sense now.
I have it the opposite. I feel like my voice isn't that deep but people tell me it is.
I have multiple accents that I love. Irish, Scottish, and German mostly.
me too
C
Www aneka
My favorite accent is Robert Downey Jr.
Buttttt I love my voice wtf how can someone dislike its own voice we are all humans and we all sound great now peace and be happy that you have the ability to speak
did you know the Irish accent is the sexiest accent in the world, its a good day to be Irish
I like a good old-fasioned neo-satanist Zimbabwean accent.
This means everyone I’ve asked “Ohh God! Do I really sound like that?” Has lied to me my entire life 🤦🏻♀️ I’ve always wondered why old baseball footage/movies had that distinct accent that’s so alien to us now
I LOVE Irish AND Scottish accents... they both SOUND the same, but if you train your ears, you can catch certain nuances that are quite different, and still pretty neat!
Plus...come on, they are both sort of sexy sounding LOL
No... Irish and Scottish accents have almost nothing in common aside from sounding drunk :) Thanks anyway
I'm Scotland, my grandmother is from the Republic of Ireland and we sound nothing alike, it's not even close.
There's really no need to train your ears unless you're completely tone deaf my dear
Fuck you Google Give me my account back Hi Scotland.
Hello.
So my voice is much more deeper than I think.
That's disturbing.
I have tolerated my own voice while normally talking, but when I sing, I can't last though three seconds of my singing voice. However my friends say that it's amazing.
I like the accent PewDiePie. pretty great one.
But i sound deeper on recording...
Most people may have a higher pitched voice than they expected. But for me, my voice sounded WAY deeper when I recorded it than I would have expected.
ok phew I thought I sounded like a total man
definitely Jack Sparrow
Heres the thing, Everyone hates there voice. So do celebrities and singers, but that doesn't stop em from creating music. I don't like the way I sound but others may like it. My family and friends say I sound clear and normal. Know your voice and work with it. I like making music and I've always hated recording my voice but thats not gonna stop me from achieving my goals.
I sound like gibby from icarly then lol 😅
I'm a sucker for English and Irish accents like every American female out there.
i guess you wpuld like me. i am irish and have a big accent
Zakk Segura ;3
Gibbyace axb I'm english. love me biatch.
Sure why not?
Odd... my voice always sounds *lower* to me on a *recording* than I hear it when I'm speaking.
I like my "Rarity voice"
Who?!
from my little pony:FiM. :P
Amanda Metcalf
Who?!
ljuc It's best you don't know. You might become one of them.
DarthBacon true
It must be my horrible voice that's why people hate my videos... :(
I don't know how other people feel , hearing of their own voices, but I am really really feeling so bad and terrible for hearing my own voice. But I wonder , why no one in this world has ever told me negative about my voice. I thank this world.
Scottish accent is by far my favorite.
Australian accent is life xaxaxa
Yes
some people say my voice is deep monotone which I sometimes think is funny but I like my voice for the most part.
Cockney's my favorite.
I like the sound of my voice.
Je hebt geen leven
but your dead
jk I'm not dumb
I’ve used to hate the sound of my voice when hearing it recorded, but I’ve since heard it recorded so often that it seems like my brain has consolidated what it hears in real time with what it hears in recordings. Now I’m no longer even phased when I hear myself on tape.
I have a very boring voice, my voice sounds the way Napolean dynamite looks. Even when im trying to sound excited about something my voice makes it seem like I could care less, all this time I thought I sounded like a boss until the dreadful day I listened to a recording of myself. Lol maybe that's why I've never had a girlfriend ahh well
same with my voice ^^
+Ed, Edd n Eddy Lmaoo same !!! People are always like "Why don't you care ?? Why are you not super happy ?" and i'm like "i'm happy, when i talk, in my brain i sound happy"
but i like my voice :(
lucky ;(
Same 💖
I like the way I sound on a taperecorder. I got a taperecorder for my 10th birthday. It was a big deal back then to own one. As a result of my childish craftiness, I now own good candid recordings of family members that have long since passed on.
I'm kinda getting used to my voice because of me posting youtube videos!
Yeah, I got used to mine.
cool!
