    My issue is I typically like my voice recorded on a voice memo app. Sometimes I hear my speaking voice in a video and really really like my tone and clarity and then sometimes I hear it and my articulations worse and im more nasally. Recordings always sound so much more off tempo and attitude than just the voice memo lol

    I understand the whole thing about familiarity, but it seriously seems like there's something wrong with my voice. It's too high pitched by default, and my pitch control in general is pretty bad. Your voice isn't perfect, but it does sound normal. It kind of reminds me of Ezra Miller. But my voice, it's just awful

    @@alterego157 it is a risky thing for sure, but it was always surprising how often I came across this during my time as a wedding videographer back in the 80s. The photographers would take photos at the ceremony, then rush off, develop them, and print up a range of proofs to show at the reception. The photos of just the bride, before the ceremony, were often reversed to get more orders (no tell-tale ring on wrong hand before the ceremony). Bride and Groom, and group shots were printed correctly. Not the most ethical of practices for sure, but one that definitely went on back then. I agree that lens distortion etc. play a big part too. But in the chaos of a wedding the more obvious reversal of features is probably has a bigger impact on decisions.

It’s pretty inspiring to know lots of people struggle with the same thing and most of that doubt is just the unfamiliarity and not purely being born with a trash voice lol.

    I feel like I have a bit of an extra layer to this problem. For years I've understood why people generally hate the sound of their own voice, and have been trying to learn to enjoy my own voice, but for me it's not just the difference in sound that irks me. So growing up I had a very bad speech impediment. Not only did I talk way to fast, but I couldn't pronounce quite a few sounds. Sh, ch, s sounds, r sounds, and some th sounds. R sounds were especially hard for me. I spent a lot of school years doing speech therapy as well as just trying to improve on my own, and these days people say they don't really hear more than a slight accent never mind a speech impediment when I talk. But this is where things get crazy. When I talk, not only is my voice sounding different to me, but so do my words, and even the rate that I speak. I hear myself on a recording, and my speech is still a bit faster that I remember talking, I personally still hear many of my R sounds and occasionally other sounds not come out right, and hell, some of words just sound straight up slurred. But the way I hear myself is so much clearer, my pronunciation sounds fine, and I feel like I speak slower than the recordings show. It's not just how I sound that's different, but the way I talk too. This not only makes me hate my voice when I hear it on a recording, but even worse, it just makes me feel stupidly self conscious about how I sound in general. No one took me serous growing up because of how I talked and that was always a huge blow to my self esteem growing up, so hearing myself still struggle, even if people seem to think it's not that bad anymore, still makes me feel like I did when I was a kid. This is something I don't know how to fix.

    I often perform rap on stage at some college events, all people and my friends brutally vibing with me. I also got a lot of compliments that my voice is very perfect for club banger type music, and sometimes they told me to make my own song. But when I saw one of vid recording of me from my friend, I cringe with how I sounded like (": They told me that I already did a great job and just need to improve my body movement while singing. Yeah I think it's because I rarely record myself while practicing and not very familiar with my own stage voice.

    Thank you for this video!! People have always complimented my singing voice, but anytime i hear a recording i can't possibly understand why lol. My husband and i have done the RPM challenges the last two years and I've gotten a little more comfortable with the sound of my voice. I'm still working on "loving it" and for that it's February we will be doing our third RPM album, so hopefully this will help me love it more!!

    I've been making music for 12 years now and I just finally got to the point where I like my voice. Exposure therapy & interest in figuring out how to get to that desired sound took so long but was worth it. It also has a lot to do with just accepting that you wont hear yourself the same as others and to also think that no one feels or has that miniscule outlook on you that YOU have on yourself as well. I finally released my first project last month where I feel genuinely comfortable with sharing and just want to let y'all know you will get to the point. Cheers to those in the thick of it right now. Please continue making art. Dice

    I don't hate my voice. But the way I hear it in my head is so different than the recorded one. I agree that the equipment used to record can influence the result, but still. I hear my voice deeper and even when I'll sing "with my guts" and pour my heart in it, the recorded one would sound like a cute emotionless strangled cat from some Disney movies. 😳😆🙄

    I figured this out myself too when i started saving gaming clips and eventually uploading them. Im used to it now to the point where i actually upload and talk to my viewers but my friends arent as comfortable with it. I have been through this same explanation with them many times that we all hear our own voice in a different way to everyone else because our skulls and voice box are between our voice and our ears. I Learned a lot from you about microphone positioning ill be making adjustments from that thankyou 👍

    That overhead trick is common for pro studio setups, yep! Another trick from an Audio Engineer for plosives/sibilance for close-mic'ing: Place the mic 45 degrees or so to the side, rather than directly in front of your mouth. It's still as close to capture that proximity effect, and aimed at the mouth to capture the clearest version of the voice, but most all of the air pressure from plosives and sibilance is moving forward *past* the mic, rather than directly into the diaphragm. It all but eliminates the need for a pop filter in the first place in most cases that aren't super exaggerated annunciations. It also has the added benefit to KZreadrs of not blocking the middle of the face! As an audio guy myself it's puzzling why that's not the standard, especially since all these big-name podcasts should theoretically have actual experts consulted in set-up, but for some reason everyone who yaks for a living likes to feel the foam tickle their lips as they speak, I guess, and the rest of us just assumed that was the "right way" to do it (and to be fair, it SEEMS to be the right way, intuitively, but it isn't).

  • @gigiwhite.mp3

    I usually use Melodyne to reduce sibilance. Does the 45 degree angle also reduce wavering in the pitch or tone? Just curious. Also, I have a Blue Yeti mic.

    ⁠@@gigiwhite.mp3 I would say that pitch is a matter of how notes are sung rather than mic placement. However, if the singer moves around a lot and doesn’t keep the same distance from the mic throughout the take, then the tone will vary significantly, and possibly pitch as well, to a lesser degree. The Blue Yetti is a condenser mic and will be less susceptible to proximity variations than a dynamic mic like what he’s using in this video.

    One of the most important things you realize from recording your voice over and over is that you make the same mistakes. If you analyze why you'll improve quickly. Mine was pushing too much air on certain notes. Also, if you experiment alot with singing songs in different keys to find the right register you realize that a capo is a singers tool more than a guitarists tool.

    Thanks for the great advice on getting to a point where you aren't disturbed by the way your voice sounds on a recording. For me it isn't just when recording vocals, but even more when I am recording voice over for radio. I do a radio show and it makes me cringe every time I listen to myself speak to the point where I do not say much anymore, so I am hoping this will help with the radio voice over work as well. I also have to start doing regular videos for social media soon for PR, so I am hoping it helps with that, and then I just have to somehow not be disturbed watching myself on the video because I really do not like it currently. Thanks again, I am going to start recording my voice on my phone and playing it back, and then do it daily, hopefully it becomes familiar fairly quicky.
