Hi All,
This is a bit of an odd request but I've been asked to comment on the question "Why does one’s voice sound different to them when they hear it played back from a recording? And why do people normally dislike the sound of their recorded voice?"
My own thoughts are that this has to do with the fact that we hear our own voice via a combination of air and bone conducted sound while the recorded voice would be via air conduction alone. I imagine there are some differences in the transmission characteristics of sound to the cochlea from the vocal folds via air versus the body that would also affect our perception of the sound of our voice.
That said, I did a quick search and didn't find any published research (plenty of speculation similar to mine) discussing this topic and was hoping some one might point me to some relevant references. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Take Care,
Ben Hornsby
