What do you hear when you speak?

We never sound the same as we hear ourselves listening. Its the same with me and any other Joe on Earth. This is because sound travels faster through solid medium than in liquid or gas. So when we speak, the sound of our voice reaches through the body as a medium and not as air as the medium. Our outer ear is not at all involved in hearing our own voice. Due to higher density of matter in our face, the sound is given an increased percentage of base and clarity too. This is the scientific reason behind your question. Here, one more question that may arise is that if we hear our own voice both from within our body and also through the ears (outer portion), why don't we hear two sounds? The answer is that as soon as sound reaches the ears it stays there for processing for 1/10th of a second. Any sound coming to the ears during this period is not heard. Hence we hear only one sound and that is the one from within.

Yeah, it is significantly different. I like singing, actually. Before, I thought my voice is like Taylor Dance's. But after hearing my recorded voice, I realized that my voice is like Simon Cowell's.

I found myself funny after recording. I'm not qualified to join idols. I sounded a little different than what I have expected. I laughed at myself.

Recently my aunt was making a hidden video tape of us all and afterwards I heard myself talking. I sounded much deeper on tape than in real life. I don't know why though. Do you?

i kinda feel i sound different..i feel i sound more matured n clear..

It's pretty different, because of the acoustics of the head..... And in my case, I really didn't like the way it sounded outside my head...
