I'm surprised most people can't identify their own voice in a recording. Mine gives me such a visceral feeling of like, repulsion that it makes me wince instantly
I hate my own voice to the point of phobia. I can’t listen to my voice recorded I just can’t. The thought of listening to a recording in which I speak gives me an unbelievable amount of anxiety and dread. I happened upon this video looking for a word to describe that, if it was a named phobia.
I sound like I constantly have food in my mouth or I’m over salivating. I just wanna flipping kill my recorded voice and replace it with the one I hear

@@myapapaya2317 Definitely and without question. Almost all "reality TV" is staged. Most times the backstories are a fabrication or severe distortion of the actual truth. And they include content that they think will earn them views from the unfortunately large portion of the population who find entertainment in awkward and uncomfortable situations, particularly when they are misled to believe that it is real. So yeah, if you really have a terrible voice and can conjure up a "look" that is easy to ridicule, then you have a good shot at being included. I wouldn't recommend going that route though. Almost all humans have more worth than that and it's sad that some find it necessary to stoop to that level just to feel some sort of recognition and validation, albeit extremely short-lived and ultimately a total sham. Gosh, sorry, what started out as a playful exchange has now become sombre and far too jaded, thanks to this response. My bad!
*When I was younger* Me: I'm so good at singing Others: Girl, you can't sing... *A few years later after getting a year of vocal lessons in high-school.* My singing to myself: Gross I hate how I sound, my voice is so bad My singing on recording or to others: Wym? You're so good at singing, stop underestimating yourself, you actually have talent. Me: Pft you're only saying that to not hurt my feelings
How about voice impersonators? So when they're trying to impersonate someone else's voice, what they're hearing as they speak must not actually sound like the target's voice if everyone else hearing it thinks it does. It must be really tricky to perfect that skill.
When i was younger, i'd sing along to music and record myself to see where i went wrong. Over time you develop the skill for knowing where your voice is compared to what you hear. Like, i used to try to hear my high notes as being as high as what i was mimicking, but obviously that was incredibly hard and made me higher than the intended note. As a result, there's actually a fair amount of music that i can sing along to and my mother (who's had to suffer through my practicing) sometimes can't hear my voice because i blend it in with the original singer or their harmonics well enough. It also helps if you find voices that are similar enough to yours that make it easier. I can mimic pink, evanescence, 40s female singers, and a variety of disney female singers. I could sing pretty well to lady gaga's songs in a star is born, but i can't sing to her other music. It's all about finding what you're most able to do and working on that until you get a handle on what you can and can't do and can practice what you can do but is harder for you.
i'm used to editing my recorded voice so i've gotten to a point were i actually like it except when i'm in the middle of editing cuz i hate any sound during editing

@@BethRoars I sound like a teenager even though I'm in my Fifties. The voice I hear is much deeper. I wish that was really mine. And you're probably right about people with body dysmorphia not liking their voices either.
Fun Fact: Ever wonder why you sound so good in the shower but don't outside the shower? When singing in the shower, the sound from your voice bounces off the tile and is amplified into the sound you hear in your head. This drowns out the "head voice", the reverberation of your voice through your body. This is what allows you to sing on key when normally you cannot. Singers have "tuned out" the "head voice". I sound the same on a recording as I do to myself normally. However this took years of practice.
It’s because of the horrible quality cellphones mics have. I hate my voice on the phone, I LOVE my voice through a proper mic and a professional recording ♥️
the thing is, othe people sound the same as I hear them. but my voice is horrible af. but then again, I said to my friend my voice is horrible and she said her recorded voice is horrible too, while imo hers is fine.
I actually tried making covers and though I don't know to sing, it made me know what my voice is exactly like. I grew to treat it like how I'd treat another person's voice. I no longer feel repulsed after hearing my voice haha
Actually my voice when I speak spanish is higher pitched than when I speak english. And when I speak Japanese it becomes softer and higher than even when I speak Spanish. I've told others I prefer my english voice cuz its deeper 😆
This was a joy to watch and learn from. Far too many vocal coaches seem to have completely abandoned doing anything other than reacting and providing the most superficial analysis as it's a really quick and easy video to make relative to things like this. While those can be entertaining for a little while they soon get dull. You can only watch someone react to something so many times without any real discussion of technique or finer points before it's dull - I've unsusbscribed / stopped Patreon to a couple of such people. Lovely as they are their content is lazy, they don't share their knowledge and it feels pointless watching them if they're doing nothing other than reacting - plenty of non-vocal coaches that are more entertaining.

Now I know that and other reasons, and very well-explained. A great new direction to go in! Being into various forms of metal, one topic I'd love to see covered is how different distortions are put into one's voice, how it looks internally, and how they impact our vocal health. Thanks and keep up the amazing work!
"Maybe we need to worry less about the paints we have to use and more about finding the colors to express ourselves" That was a great way to put it Beth, motivational gold right there!
Thanks, Beth. That was informative. I always find it strange hearing my own recorded voice because I don’t think it sounds like the way it was in my head. Have a lovely day! Roar!
Beth, this was a fascinating and informative video. I loved it. I was classed by my music teacher as a bass as early as grade 7, have been told all my life (now late 50's) what an amazing voice I have but have never been able to honestly believe it. My voice, although being somewhat low, never sounded at all amazing to me. Now, thanks to your video, I finally understand why I have always thought my voice sucked and was not nearly as low as everyone else told me it was. After watching this video the nerd in me had to know so my son started measuring my voice for frequency and I was shocked. With my normal everyday voice, I consistently and comfortably can sing down to a clean B1. My kids have now convinced me to start voice lessons as soon as possible. Thank you so much for this video and for teaching me to understand why I have never heard myself as everybody else hears me. You have helped me to experience myself the way everyone else says they do instead of the way I have always perceived myself from within. Beth, you are the best. Thank You.
Excellent video!!! I recently received the vocal tracking for a Single I've been working with my producer and I was so bummed out with how I sounded. I mean, I've been used to the way I sing because I'd always hear the playbacks of me rehearsing. But for some reason I could not accept the way it sounded when he sent me that recording!! It took me about a week to get used to my own singing recorded with a condenser microphone. And now this video made me relax a lot more about my own voice, haha! Loved it, thank you Beth
Yes - very , very interesting, indeed...I never considered this but now I know why I seem to sing so much better than I did years ago when I was angry and miserably depressed while recording 🔥
I found this fascinating, as a amateur singer i struggle when i listen to my recordings. The points you made helped a lot Beth cheers :) nice painting . . .
I remember the first time I sang karaoke. I put myself up for the Doors song, People Are Strange. I began singing to the music and immediately heard a voice coming through the speaker that I didn't recognize. I decided, hey, that guy seems to know how the song goes. I'm just going to sing along with him. On some level, I knew that was my voice coming through the speaker, but since it sounded so different, I didn't recognize it. However, since since I seemed to do well with a song that I considered relatively easy, it was easy for me to sing along to my own voice coming out of the speaker. Also, for any singers who haven't done this, I would definitely advise doing it. It will help you to get an idea of what your voice actually sounds like and how it reacts to changes and can REALLY help you decide which sounds work best for your voice and how you may tweak it to sound more like how you want.
Beth, I felt I should comment also that that was an interesting take you closed the video on regarding worryimg less about the paints and more about the colors. It may be a difficult concept for some folks to wrestle with when they want to sound like this person or that. However, to agree with your point, we each have what we have in the muscles and bones. In working with, training, and shaping the sounds and play, individuals can test the bounds to identify strengths and weaknesses and stretch the limits. Before college, I had little vocal training/coaching. In college, I experienced a shift in my range getting it out of the basement, getting more control of my hight notes and falsetto, and more color overall. I worked at the college radio station as well and recorded a lot of my own liners/bumpers to play between songs and did commercials. I'd make up different voices like cartoon characters of impressions and it was so fun! I found some of the old recordings recently, 10-12 years old by now. My voice has gotten even better and more matured since then. Even given how different voices can sound through recordings, a tempered view on the critiques can really help guide someone with how it works and, I hope, help them learn to love, or at least, feel comfortable with their vocal qualities and quirks.
I like the documentary style of this, I haven't checked in on a video lately and you did a really good job, I look forward to checking out more of these and not just the reactions!
Never actually thought that my "brain voice" has my own tone as I'm hearing it... Sometimes I think can change it to another tone, like the voice tone of another person. It's just funny to mess around with it! Nice video by the way. I like this type!
My voice in head: a stern, strong maternal voice of a 40 year old. It's almost genderless My voice: a nasal, high pitch, voice of a 13 twi hard. It's so girlly it should have a pony.
Really interesting; engaging topic; catchy video accompaniment. I’m a broadcaster that has always longed for a different voice, though listeners have complimented me on having fine tone and delivery. Now I know why I feel that way, and likely it’s mostly that little red suited guy whispering in my ear. Thanks Beth! 🌸
The production on this episode is on a next level. Interesting topic and good writing. Great editor. Love your channel. Found it a few months ago when searching for Selena videos. I’m Cuban and her death felt like a cousin died. Very sad. Anyway, her search lead me to your reactions and honest love for all kinds of musics and voices. Best of luck. Much love.
A very interesting topic. Over Christmas I was talking to another musician and saying how my wife says I sing out of tune but when I check my voice with a tuner, I am always close to perfect. He explained he has the same problem and it’s not singing out of tune but our tone which is not right. On bone conduction, I was recently tested by a doctor with a tuning folk and I was surprised to find how long the sound took to hear or in some cases to hear at all. So thank you for helping me to understand what makes up the sound of my voice.

It's calming to see you paint in motion. I love how you use blue tones in your painting. Idk if you believe in such, but in chakras, throat is color blue. Plus I just want to gobble up all the information you've shared with us. You did great explaining them! Thank you for this 💙✨
This is super super cool. I found particularly interesting the illustration of the fundamental/harmonics, and after that, the multiple filters we have to perceiving our voice. The multiple layers of frequencies on display really gave me a good idea of how hearing loss probably affects my mom - she can’t hear higher registers well anymore, so it probably sounds muffled and undefined for her since she only gets the lower registers (I guess). Really liked this format. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
I always knew that part of it was the actual physics of how sound travels within our own head, but it was brilliant listening to you breaking down the whole picture. It's physics, biology & psychology all playing different parts and I found it all fascinating. Thank you so much for doing this video!
That was freaking awesome! :D It helped to clarify some issues that I was carrying on curiously about human voice and it's harmony and also this video helped pretty strong to stick to my view on our voices which I grabbed positively to stay positive and loud and clear about my own voice, haha! :v Thanks a bunch for your explanation, it was really amazing ! I'm so grateful for this, take love! :*
This was a beautiful presentation. Informative and thorough. As a musician, occasional singer, and audio engineer I was particularly fascinated by the spectrogram! I have known and studied the makeup and influence of the harmonics series for years. But never have I seen it visually represented so clearly! And the difference between focusing your voice on one note and the complex and seemingly random nature of speech was stark and fascinating! Bravo and thanks.
Thank you for the informative video, Beth. I have a low, deep voice and can’t really do much with it. Btw, liking the aesthetic of this new series 👍🏻 Have a good one, aye!
Love the new format! I speak in public often, and some of that has recently changed to a virtual setting thanks to COVID, so now I’m being recorded and played back. I have to relearn all of my vocal mechanics and this is really good information to have in that pursuit. Thank you!
As a gay person who struggles with appreciating their voice, this video brought a lot of warm feelings to me. Thanks for taking the time to put all this together. ^_^ It was very appreciated.
@Sarabakesthebiscuits :} Cause a lot of gay men deal with issues around their voice if it is not deeper, which is due to toxic masculine stereotypes and stigma around "sounding gay".
Hi Beth, I was so caught up in this video. I had never pondered the reason why my own voice makes me CRING whenever hearing myself speak on recordings. So I totally enjoyed this topic you spoke of on this video. [ and yes, please post more on this topic]. Thanx, MUCH 💛 from Bakersfield, California.
YES! THANK YOU for explaining why I sound different in recordings. I got into so many arguments about what I "really" sound like, and face a bunch of shit from people about my voice growing up.
Excellent video...I now understand why I'm always slightly ambivalent when I hear what I record - it never sounds the same as I hear it but now that I understand why, it will make it easier to process - thanks, Beth 🔥
I have an inner monologue but I can't actually see pictures in my head. If I think about it I can tell the "images" are just me describing in words what something looks like. Like I don't see stuff in dreams so I can tell I'm describing what's happening and so I basically always know I'm dreaming and change sorta change stuff. Great that I can't see stuff in my head as an artist, very helpful lmao
John Lennon is possibly the most famous example of someone who loathed the sound of their own voice, he was constantly asking recording engineers to use any sort of delay effects or distortion to change the sound. It's amazing really, because he was one of the most distinctive and influential rock vocalists ever.
What about impersonations? There are a few that I can do and when I try one I know instantly that it sounds like the person I am impersonating and people will say that it is accurate also. So if what you think you hear isn’t actually an accurate representation of your voice, how do impersonators know they sound like the person they are specifically trying to sound like?
Thank you SO much for this video, Beth! I've always thought that microphones don't like me, because they make my voice sound dreadful and not at all how I perceive it. I record myself singing time and time again and become very frustrated because I can't recognize myself. Looking forward to more of this!
Not even singing - recording speaking voice is in practice not trivial: eliminating lip smacks, breath noises, plosives etc., which are not desirable, is pretty difficult.
So. Much. Thanks! Ive begun to learn to sing and I spent an inordinate amount of time on gear (mics, monitors, processing) with much frustration, thinking my voice was somehow inferior to all the people who can walk up to an in house sm58 from 1972 and still crush it. I only recently decided to develop toward my best ability with the instrument I was born with... this video is an epiphany. Your help is a gift

With my normal everyday voice, I consistently and comfortably can sing down to a clean B1. My kids have now convinced me to start voice lessons as soon as possible. Thank you so much for this video and for teaching me to understand why I have never heard myself as everybody else hears me. You have helped me to experience myself the way everyone else says they do instead of the way I have always perceived myself from within.
Beth, you are the best. Thank You.
I'm really enjoying ur new content, i was kinda done with the reactions, really nice content keep it up.
Thanks Manuel. Its fun to be doing something fresh
Excellent video!!! I recently received the vocal tracking for a Single I've been working with my producer and I was so bummed out with how I sounded. I mean, I've been used to the way I sing because I'd always hear the playbacks of me rehearsing. But for some reason I could not accept the way it sounded when he sent me that recording!! It took me about a week to get used to my own singing recorded with a condenser microphone. And now this video made me relax a lot more about my own voice, haha! Loved it, thank you Beth
This explains why my singing improved drastically when I started meditating and taking care of my mental health.
Absolutely!
Yes - very , very interesting, indeed...I never considered this but now I know why I seem to sing so much better than I did years ago when I was angry and miserably depressed while recording 🔥
Oh, my goodness!
You know someone has a good grasp on a subject when they are able to teach it so well. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that! Thank you
I found this fascinating, as a amateur singer i struggle when i listen to my recordings. The points you made helped a lot Beth cheers :) nice painting . . .
I remember the first time I sang karaoke. I put myself up for the Doors song, People Are Strange. I began singing to the music and immediately heard a voice coming through the speaker that I didn't recognize. I decided, hey, that guy seems to know how the song goes. I'm just going to sing along with him.
On some level, I knew that was my voice coming through the speaker, but since it sounded so different, I didn't recognize it. However, since since I seemed to do well with a song that I considered relatively easy, it was easy for me to sing along to my own voice coming out of the speaker. Also, for any singers who haven't done this, I would definitely advise doing it. It will help you to get an idea of what your voice actually sounds like and how it reacts to changes and can REALLY help you decide which sounds work best for your voice and how you may tweak it to sound more like how you want.
I really appreciate this analysis! No one has ever explained it so succinctly. A mystery solved. Thank you so much for dispelling crazy ideas!
Beth, I felt I should comment also that that was an interesting take you closed the video on regarding worryimg less about the paints and more about the colors. It may be a difficult concept for some folks to wrestle with when they want to sound like this person or that. However, to agree with your point, we each have what we have in the muscles and bones. In working with, training, and shaping the sounds and play, individuals can test the bounds to identify strengths and weaknesses and stretch the limits. Before college, I had little vocal training/coaching. In college, I experienced a shift in my range getting it out of the basement, getting more control of my hight notes and falsetto, and more color overall. I worked at the college radio station as well and recorded a lot of my own liners/bumpers to play between songs and did commercials. I'd make up different voices like cartoon characters of impressions and it was so fun! I found some of the old recordings recently, 10-12 years old by now. My voice has gotten even better and more matured since then. Even given how different voices can sound through recordings, a tempered view on the critiques can really help guide someone with how it works and, I hope, help them learn to love, or at least, feel comfortable with their vocal qualities and quirks.
I like the documentary style of this, I haven't checked in on a video lately and you did a really good job, I look forward to checking out more of these and not just the reactions!
Never actually thought that my "brain voice" has my own tone as I'm hearing it...
Sometimes I think can change it to another tone, like the voice tone of another person. It's just funny to mess around with it!
Nice video by the way. I like this type!
Your brain can imitate anyone, anything. It’s quite cool lol
My voice in head: a stern, strong maternal voice of a 40 year old. It's almost genderless
My voice: a nasal, high pitch, voice of a 13 twi hard. It's so girlly it should have a pony.
You sure are talented. I had to go back to 10:18 and stop the video to take a good long look at your painting. Loved the lesson on my voice.
Really interesting; engaging topic; catchy video accompaniment. I’m a broadcaster that has always longed for a different voice, though listeners have complimented me on having fine tone and delivery. Now I know why I feel that way, and likely it’s mostly that little red suited guy whispering in my ear. Thanks Beth! 🌸
This! My radio show's recordings were always unbearable to me, so I never listened to it.
you are sure a bright penny- I knew instictively why I hated my voice recorded but to hear the science from such a beautiful creature was enthralling
The production on this episode is on a next level. Interesting topic and good writing. Great editor. Love your channel. Found it a few months ago when searching for Selena videos. I’m Cuban and her death felt like a cousin died. Very sad. Anyway, her search lead me to your reactions and honest love for all kinds of musics and voices. Best of luck. Much love.
Thank you. I have been working with a great editor who has helped me up the production!
A very interesting topic.
Over Christmas I was talking to another musician and saying how my wife says I sing out of tune but when I check my voice with a tuner, I am always close to perfect. He explained he has the same problem and it’s not singing out of tune but our tone which is not right.
On bone conduction, I was recently tested by a doctor with a tuning folk and I was surprised to find how long the sound took to hear or in some cases to hear at all.
So thank you for helping me to understand what makes up the sound of my voice.

It's calming to see you paint in motion. I love how you use blue tones in your painting. Idk if you believe in such, but in chakras, throat is color blue. Plus I just want to gobble up all the information you've shared with us. You did great explaining them! Thank you for this 💙✨
This is super super cool. I found particularly interesting the illustration of the fundamental/harmonics, and after that, the multiple filters we have to perceiving our voice. The multiple layers of frequencies on display really gave me a good idea of how hearing loss probably affects my mom - she can’t hear higher registers well anymore, so it probably sounds muffled and undefined for her since she only gets the lower registers (I guess).
Really liked this format. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always knew that part of it was the actual physics of how sound travels within our own head, but it was brilliant listening to you breaking down the whole picture. It's physics, biology & psychology all playing different parts and I found it all fascinating. Thank you so much for doing this video!
That was freaking awesome! :D It helped to clarify some issues that I was carrying on curiously about human voice and it's harmony and also this video helped pretty strong to stick to my view on our voices which I grabbed positively to stay positive and loud and clear about my own voice, haha! :v
Thanks a bunch for your explanation, it was really amazing ! I'm so grateful for this, take love! :*
So glad you like it! If you have any ideas for videos, shoot them my way x
This was a beautiful presentation. Informative and thorough. As a musician, occasional singer, and audio engineer I was particularly fascinated by the spectrogram! I have known and studied the makeup and influence of the harmonics series for years. But never have I seen it visually represented so clearly! And the difference between focusing your voice on one note and the complex and seemingly random nature of speech was stark and fascinating! Bravo and thanks.
What I hear in my head: exact tone of song....wow my voice is so soft...I like it!
What exactly is: a crying donkey.
I don't usually care for abstract art but I really dig that painting, very nice!
Thank you for the informative video, Beth. I have a low, deep voice and can’t really do much with it. Btw, liking the aesthetic of this new series 👍🏻 Have a good one, aye!
You are so welcome!
Great and wonderfully thorough explanation Beth! I love your media, thanks for sharing!
Imagine how Corpse Husband hears himself LOL
It is an electrical voice or his real voice?
His real voice
Beth actually explains ideas with the goal of them being understood - the first quality of a great teacher.
What i Hear in My Head : clint eastwood.
What exacly is : A dying duck
You are brilliant. I'm blessed to have discovered you.
Is no one talking about the beautiful art she made? Omg talk about multi talent
Love the new format! I speak in public often, and some of that has recently changed to a virtual setting thanks to COVID, so now I’m being recorded and played back. I have to relearn all of my vocal mechanics and this is really good information to have in that pursuit. Thank you!
I watched this video yesterday and now it’s premiering tomorrow? I’m confused 😂 great video btw. Very informative and I love this type of content!
Today is yesterday's tomorrow. :)

That painting is gorgeous!!! At one point I saw a windmill, then you put white paint over it!! :D
I love the new content. Well done!
As a gay person who struggles with appreciating their voice, this video brought a lot of warm feelings to me. Thanks for taking the time to put all this together. ^_^ It was very appreciated.
You go be good to your self 👍

@Sarabakesthebiscuits :} Cause a lot of gay men deal with issues around their voice if it is not deeper, which is due to toxic masculine stereotypes and stigma around "sounding gay".
I love this new concept! Please continue exploring this new venture.
This was fascinating and the editing is fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This explains a lot; especially since I have an identical twin and everyone says we sound the same. Technical videos are a great idea Beth.
It’s very interesting. Btw. Your painting is very good.
Thank you so much 😀
Beth Roars has
Hi Beth, I was so caught up in this video. I had never pondered the reason why my own voice makes me CRING whenever hearing myself speak on recordings. So I totally enjoyed this topic you spoke of on this video. [ and yes, please post more on this topic].
Thanx, MUCH 💛 from Bakersfield, California.
My voice doesn't sound higher in recordings to me, it sounds lower
Same here. It almost sounds like im forcing my voice lower
@@GrayeIra that’s so weird right I think I have a high voice but actually it’s deep when I hear my own voice in recording
Same
Ayy same
Loved the video, and its true, getting used to your own voice takes time and doesn't come naturally at all. Would love to see more videos like this.
This was really well presented. Looking forward to follow-ons.
All science-y and interesting. I love it. Obviously a ton of work went in and the results show it. Really well done.
my voice in my head: opera singer
my voice in recordings: asthmatic "hurr" guy
YES! THANK YOU for explaining why I sound different in recordings. I got into so many arguments about what I "really" sound like, and face a bunch of shit from people about my voice growing up.
Voice in my head: Scott Weiland
Recorded: Elmo
Excellent video...I now understand why I'm always slightly ambivalent when I hear what I record - it never sounds the same as I hear it but now that I understand why, it will make it easier to process - thanks, Beth 🔥
Not everyone has an inner monologue with pictures and such...kinda weird to me when I found that out.
Wait what?😳
@@derekohlhauser5632 I think Haider animation has it
I have an inner monologue but I can't actually see pictures in my head. If I think about it I can tell the "images" are just me describing in words what something looks like. Like I don't see stuff in dreams so I can tell I'm describing what's happening and so I basically always know I'm dreaming and change sorta change stuff. Great that I can't see stuff in my head as an artist, very helpful lmao
@@lieeeleeee you might need to get that checked! I think that's how jaiden described it.
@@chichichichichichiOwO wait what who's Jaiden.
@2:00 really awesome visualization of voice on a spectrogram. Wish I could see mine.
John Lennon is possibly the most famous example of someone who loathed the sound of their own voice, he was constantly asking recording engineers to use any sort of delay effects or distortion to change the sound. It's amazing really, because he was one of the most distinctive and influential rock vocalists ever.
Interesting
This was AWESOME. Best explanation I've seen so far. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I listen to my voice and I just feel pure cringe.
I feel u😂
Wow Beth, what an amazing video!!! Best vocal coach channel in TH-cam
What about impersonations? There are a few that I can do and when I try one I know instantly that it sounds like the person I am impersonating and people will say that it is accurate also. So if what you think you hear isn’t actually an accurate representation of your voice, how do impersonators know they sound like the person they are specifically trying to sound like?
Really good question
Love the content. Very informative. The red, blue, and freckles are an absolutely beautiful combination too.
I still do VO, but it took nearly ten years of frequent air-checks to accept my voice for what it is and isn't.
A very interesting video. Thank you.
My friends and I are starting a D&D podcast and I heard my voice on the recording and almost barfed.
HAHAHA
I love this new style. MORE MORE MORE. RAWR
What I want to know is how much the way other people hear us resembles how we hear ourselves. Our do we do sound to them like we sound on a recording?
I am pretty sure that we sound to them like we sound on a recording
Thank you SO much for this video, Beth! I've always thought that microphones don't like me, because they make my voice sound dreadful and not at all how I perceive it. I record myself singing time and time again and become very frustrated because I can't recognize myself. Looking forward to more of this!
Not even singing - recording speaking voice is in practice not trivial: eliminating lip smacks, breath noises, plosives etc., which are not desirable, is pretty difficult.
Wow! You have stepped through to a new level! So well done, informative, artistic, profound...awesome evolution Beth! 💜
My first thought is we hear our own voice through our head reverberation. That is what is missing when a recording is played of our voice.
You are a true artist, Beth . God bless your talents and make them shine .
Ngl I often just talk in a weird voice most of the time so that I can trick myself into thinking my actual voice is way cooler.
So. Much. Thanks! Ive begun to learn to sing and I spent an inordinate amount of time on gear (mics, monitors, processing) with much frustration, thinking my voice was somehow inferior to all the people who can walk up to an in house sm58 from 1972 and still crush it.
I only recently decided to develop toward my best ability with the instrument I was born with... this video is an epiphany. Your help is a gift
Whenever i sing im my harshest critic , but when i get off the karaoke stage everyone tells me that they hate going after me. I'm one of those rare bass singers
Thanks for this video! I never thought about why I sound different on recordings but you got me thinking. Thumbs UP!!!
I could listen to this woman read the god damn phone book.
add a camera and I'm in
Lmao samee!!
"Huh"..?
"OH"!... 😂
Freaking same
Beth Roars is the new Vsauce ????
I am in!!
Beautiful video. Accurate information while still being artistically expressive.
