Thanks.

surprise!!!

that is how the world hears your voice

happens to all of us the first time we listen to ourselves played back from a recording

nobody's voice sounds the same to themselves

yes your mike might modify it a little bit
but by and large that is what the world is hearing when you talk
unless you are truly using a tin can with a homemade transducer into the pc's onboard sound card mike input

people recognise your voice on the telephone with a bandwidth of only 300-3500 cps - its not your mike making that difference

dont believe it ?
ask somebody to listen to you and then to your recording

want to sound better?
f/x the heck out of it or take voice lessons
