For those of you who sing professionally, do you find it difficult to listen to, and like, the way your voice sounds?

I can hit the right notes very well, but I hate the actual sound of my voice.

It's kind of a win/lose situation, which is unfortunate.

I don't sing proffessionally but I am a pianist, electronic musician and singer. On the few occasions I have tried to use my own voice on tracks I have found it impossible. I cannot deal with the way my voice sounds in terms of the way I pronounce words and I obsess about intunation to the point where anything I do have recorded sounds robotic.

I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but I love to sing! My poor daughter is forced to listen to it in the car as I sing along with the radio! Actually she likes my singing! weird huh?

my best friend recorded me a week ago and it was the first ever time i'd heard my voice! the whole experience was hilarious because he couldn't keep a straight face and great fun! and also i was better than i thought ... which is kind of encouraging seen as i have my grade 7 in a month haha!!

nvever expect your voice to sound like that of a cd the cds voices are exetremly edited most times...
you ever noticed how such artist as taylor swift sounds 20 times better on the album than in a live performance

You have a few choices.

Try to get yourself a much better recording devices, so that what you really hear is your voice, not due to some lousy equipment.

Next, you have to get use to that voice, and strength other areas that you feel could be improve. Unless you are saying that all singing techniques are truly, mastered, theres still room to grow.

Oh,and don't compare your voice to that of a professional.

Yes, I hate to listen to me most of the time.

Not at all. I am actually quite fond of the my singing voice. I have a very flexible timbre and have had a lot of training.

No.

I think if that were true, it would be difficult to stand before others and sing.

When I was listening with my teacher, I found it somewhat intimidating because we both her the mistakes and times I was making "palate noise."
