Own voice versus recorded voice perception

[Kevin Austin <kevin.austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an interesting discussion yet, so far, I see it dealing with  
only one part of the issue -- that of the physics (the metric).

I recently saw an extended video of myself and it certainly wasn't the  
"me" I know. Had the face been removed (with the particular  
clothes ...) I don't think I would have recognized myself with much  
certainty.

The voice I hear inside my head when I write this text (and possibly  
the voice you hear when you read it), may have an identity which is  
[or has become] independent of the metric aspect. When I have a cold,  
I still 'recognize' my voice for (to me) some fundamental aspect of  
the identity of the voice remains identifiable, almost regardless of  
the degree of transformation.

The complexity I experience here is not of the perception of the  
recorded voice, but the 'identity' of my own.


FWIW
