Well, both of them are inaccurate. The sound you while talking is actually the result of internal vibrations propagating through the jawbone, cheekbones, and inner sinus cavities. The voice you hear is actually a muffled, filtered version of the "real deal".

This "skull voice" phenomenon makes it hard to get reliable self-feedback, so people typically turn to audio recordings. Audio recordings have their value but are not exactly close to what someone will hear when talking to you in a room due to the behavior of microphones, proximity, and playback variability.

A sound is a spatial event. In order to hear the most accurate version of your voice we need to dampen the skull vibrations, turn down the early reflections, and boost the late reflections. As a result, the sound is more true to what someone else hears.

The process for achieving this is simple:

1. Fingers together! Thumbs out! Keep your hand in that shape.

2. Place the point where the thumb connects to the hand right below the ear.

3. Lightly press inwards towards the fact with both hands.

4. Begin speaking and observe if it sounds any different.

If you have this technique correctly, you should immediately notice a difference in the way you sound. The voice should sound "cloudier" or more "diffused". While this is not identical to what people here, it's much closer than both recordings or the voice

I have seen countless cases of people using this strategy to alleviate dysphoria during practice. Remember that this is a lot closer to what you really sound like. This sound is almost always more palatable and comfortable for a student to hear. Use this if you feel you are stuck in place from dysphoria blocking your path.

Thanks so much for the support.

TransVoiceTech: How to Hear Yourself Better!

Hi Everyone! In this video I will document a simple strategy for hearing a more accurate representation of your voice. Have you ever noticed how there is a discrepancy between the way your voice sounds on recording vs to yourself? Well, both of them are inaccurate.
