Another weird thing is: people usually mistake my voice with my brother's voice, even my mother have a hard time identifying who she is talking to if she is not seeing us. She often fights over the phone acusing us of pretending to be the other (can't really blame her since we don't lose an oportunity to prank her if she starts a conversation thinking she is talking to the wrong one haha) For me, neither my spoken voice or the recorded voice are similiar to my brother's voice and he agrees with that, but for other people we have very similar voice lmao

The difference between your voice when you are speaking and your recording is also the vibrations within your bones and tissues. The result of this difference and the fact that you always hear yourself with the vibrations, results in your brain interpreting your recorded voice as not only different but also "bad" in some ways(subjectively). A better way to compare, would be to ask your brother to compare his recorded and speech voice himself, if he finds his recorded voice is worse or not then it can be used to relate to yours. For me, my recorded voice sounds lifeless for some reason lol, but in my head it never is like that -_-

These are much deeper and adds flavour to your voice, which most find pleasant. Your recorded voice will then sound uncanny. It sounds like your voice, but not quite, so you dislike it as if by reflex.

You can learn a lot about your language from people speaking it as a second language, and even from thinking about trying to explain all of its rules, exceptions, similar sounds, and multiple meanings to someone trying to learn it. In those odd moments here and there when you have a chance for idle thought, spend some of them explaining your language to yourself and you'll begin to understand how complex it really is. Here's a really tough one to start you off: Why does the order of adjectives matter when describing something? "Big, red, bouncy ball" versus "red, bouncy, big ball." What are the rules for "correct" order? It's amazing how much our brains accomplish on the fly without our conscious minds even realizing it.

But why does this not just amuse us rather than give such a strong feeling of unease, embarrasment and dislike. Why is hearing something merely 'different' or misrepresentative as you say so postively offensive to us. This is the real question which I still feel is unanswered unless I am just not understanding it properly.

Apart from the fact that the talk was very interesting (I was amazed by the information that can be gathered from analyzing subtle changes in a known voice, up to detecting diseases), I also don't think the talk answered the title question. I was expecting an explanation about how your own external voice triggers some alarm in your brain or something. The fact that the outward voice is different from how we actually perceive our own voice (inward voice) should be a known fact since our early childhood days with a microphone and it does not explain well why we don't like the sound that everybody else hears when we speak (if that dislike is always true at all). What happens if we hear a recording of our own voice while we are not remembering/recognizing that this is us? Do we still dislike the sound of that voice? Or is it familiar and we always like it in that setting? Are we actually not disliking the sound, but the confusion? Does this change if we are used to listen to our outward voice (recordings) daily, like a professional speaker or singer would? Of course we are surprised or puzzled if we hear such a recording (especially if we do it rarely) but I'm not sure everybody dislikes that "new" voice. There must be people who would prefer a higher pitch in their voice and they might even hate their inward voice and prefer the higher pitched outward version. The implicit explanation sounds a bit lame and is no surprise -- we are always emotional, confused, and over-critical if we look at ourselves from a distance -- no matter if it's a sound recording, photos or videos showing us, or something we wrote or created otherwise. We always analyze and criticize and think it could be better -- something we just don't do to this extent if we don't really know it is material from us or if it really is material from someone else, we are much less interested and alert and critical then. So the fact that hearing our voice in an unusual way (from the outside) is surprising and triggers our self-critisism is, well, pretty trivial. The real treasure of this talk is a completely different topic: "What hidden information can others (including learning audio systems like Alexa) deduct from your voice?".

Why you don't like your own voice is mainly because you hear your voice differently than others: You hear a lot more bass as your hearing organs are connected with the vocal chords through a solid connection allowing you to hear low frequencies that are not coupled into air that much.

Way to demonstrate not listening to the speaker. The mechanical process is not very important at all because we have to TRY and hear that low-tone of our own speech, because our audio-cortex shuts down abit when we are talking...so we don't actually 'hear' ourselves speak, what we are 'hearing' is our internal dialogue (corollary discharge) which is a psychological one, not physical. Mabe listen to the speaker sometime before just blabbing out a belief you have.

Initially I felt as if the research she was on wasn't very important (very presumptuous of me) but then she explained all the various applications and just the depth of her research got me hooked. It's good to know that there are people in this world who are truly ingenious, thinking about researching obscure but important fields like these

"Why you don't like the sound of your own voice" - my KZread Recommendation Genie Me: *gasps like I found the answer to the meaning of life*

This was so amazing and excellent. It's an incredibly fascinating subject and it was so cool to hear these ideas presented in this clear, coherent, easy-to-understand manner with a metaphor that helped convey the idea very well. I especially liked the disconnect from when the auditory processes shut down when we speak. As a formerly somewhat tone-deaf professional musician (drummer) that taught himself to better ascertain tones, one of the things I teach people that are poor at maintaining pitch is the necessity of actually *listening* to the pitch you are singing. I now realize its effectively getting a person to hear with their actual auditory processes rather than "inner voice" and this video is an excellent way of communicating that idea. Anyone that wants to become a singer, take that advice. everyone has the capability of singing a certain range (may not be as broad as a practiced musician), so it is *never* an inability to sing. It's just pitch-matching and that comes from listening with your actual hearing processes vs. your "inner-voice." I really enjoyed this presentation and would love to hear more about some of the research you mentioned. This was really cool =].

She is a fascinating speaker..between her accent, the way she explains and presents the topic, and how she talks with her hands, she could probably make most anything interesting. Some people are just born for public speaking...and no this isn't just a comment about how she looks...

absolutely fascinating. something we have always thought about but not really in depth and not understood. most people might say we have two voices, outer and inner, but really three makes much more sense in understanding our thoughts and speech. thanks again and keep up the research!

I love this TED Talk I just wish there was a slide show presentation that goes along and helps visually explain all the great points she is making.

I think it's interesting to discuss the psychology and physiology behind the voice. Speech is one of our most developed and complex abilities which translated to writing and I find it fascinating the ramifications of our own perception on our speech and it kind of explains why I for one barely recognize my own voice in recordings if I don't see myself.

Educative, I've always liked my inner voice but I've always disliked my actual voice

This is a much more complex issue than you'd think. Truth is most people DO have multiple internal dialogues, we just tend to 'think' with a main one but ask anyone who has been in a very traumatic experience and they can often vouch there are 'other' voices 'not my own' talking or warning. It is a key part of what psychologists who study schizophrenia think maybe the reason for it, a breakdown in the barriers that normally keep these 'internal voices' obscured not doing its job.

I like my voice when I hear a recording of it played back. I do sound very different than I sound when I listen to myself speak. This talk was so fascinating, that it wasn't until the end of this video that I realized why I like hearing my voice. I sound like a relative who I like.

She mentions the inner voice as the one we use when dreaming. Often, just drifting towards sleep, thinking whatever I'm thinking, I'll find there's a phrase - just a couple of words, but you can tell it was part of a meaningful longer expression - which is there in your mind from somewhere. It's unrelated to what your conscious mind was thinking. It's a bit of sleep-dialogue that's wandered into the clearing where your conscious mind is still awake. Does anyone get that?

Thanks a lot , that's awesome information 👌

It's not particularly that we don't like the sound of our own voice, it's that the sound of our voice when processed via an external source (i.e. when you hear it in a recording) is basically only half of the way YOU actually hear yourself speaking. When you speak you hear your own voice via not only the eardrums (in the way others hear it) but also via bone-induction, which literally vibrates the bones inside your skull, and the overlapping of these 2 methods produces a fundamentally different "sound" inside your head.

Miss She I mean I think it all depends how this device is issued. I think what I'm learning from this video is that there is a difference between what a person thinks based upon internal and external sounds/voice... So..l I mean I might be way off... But if this device is somehow installed inside the person (like heart monitors sometimes are)? that might be a different situation. But also, as you very rightly point out, convincing the poor person to go through with it could be a lot of the battle.

@SkythontheBrony

Singers just get used to hearing it, and eventually can't really tell much of a difference between the voice in their head and their voice in recordings, it's mostly the same. I guess the process is a bit like when you hear a singer and at first you don't really like it, but their voice grows on you after awhile.

@justinw1765

6 жыл бұрын

You just eventually get use to it the more you hear the recorded version. The initial discomfort is not because they are so vastly different, but rather because they are pretty similar, and yet just different enough to be noticeable. That kind of throws/confuses you. Uncertainty tends to be disconcerting to humans. Basically your inner voice is a bit deeper and more rich/complex than your outer voice as a trend. You can compensate for the deepness part some if you keep that in mind, but not the richer/more complex aspect. You're just going to sound more flat in a recording than you do to yourself. As far as practice goes, corners and cupped forward ears help a bit to hear your voice closer to how it sounds to others when recording is not an option, though the latter is more accurate. Generally speaking, some of it is just intuitive, and involves the right brain and parallel processing/holistic perception that is more connected to one's feelings than to the left brains linear logical, step by step processes of understanding and perceiving. After all, part of the draw/attraction of music is that it helps many of us get out of that critical, analytical, and "gray" state and helps us phase switch more to the "no mind", more pleasurable, rich, and feeling oriented state. The trick for a good singer or musician, is combing the two simultaneously, which, all who don't have brain damage, already do to some extent already, but can become much more improved with practice.
