The sound of your own voice

[Miss Demeanour]

Do you ever do that thing where you listen to the sound of your own recorded voice ( on a ansa phone or some such thing ) and think it sounds absolutely nothing like what you think you hear when you speak?

Why the great disparity ?

When you pick up the phone to your friends and stuff you recognise them straight away and they sound the same as when you talk to them face to face...

It's got something to do with the way your own voice resonates inside your head bones. I think.

I hate pictures of me... I am known for avoiding the camera at all costs

I sound exactly like my brother and my late father on the phone. Mother could never tell us apart so in answer to your question ~ No I don't sound any different to the way I think I sound. To me I sound just like me.

Do you normally hear an echo...?

When you speak, the vocal folds in your throat vibrate, which causes your skin, skull and oral cavities to also vibrate, and we perceive this as sound. The vibrations mix with the sound waves traveling from your mouth to your eardrum. This tends to gives your voice a deeper, more dignified sound that only you can hear.

Through a loudspeaker or recording device, you pick up sound only through air conduction. The sound we're used to hearing has a lower frequency from the bone vibrations. Many people cringe at the playback sound because our brain struggles to accept that this foreign voice is our own.

That's what I said! 

[Miss Demeanour]

So I'm not actually going banonkers ?
