Why Your Recorded Voice Sounds Like a Stranger

You press play on a recording and a stranger talks back — higher, thinner, wrong. So why does your voice sound different in recordings? The answer is two roads: the air road that everyone else has always heard, and a secret bone road through your own skull that adds a deep, warm layer only you can ever hear. Plus the mirror-like reason your brain rejects the recording the first time it hears it. Neither version is wrong. One is you-as-the-world-hears-you. The other is a small private concert your body has been playing for you your whole life. #voice #psychology #humanbody #science #curiosity
