  • Because when sound resonates within the cavities of our own head it sounds completely different to when it leaves out mouths because it has nothing to resonate against. Your voice only sounds like it does to you, everyone else heres something completely different. It sounds a lot like what you hear on the tape.
  • What Jenny and Salbombal said, and also that most tape recorders that you hear your voice on probably aren't insanely expensive studio quality ones that record sounds perfectly - there could be distortion of some kind in the sound from the recording, etc
  • HAH! I asked my husband that once and he looked at me like I had 3 heads. He said his voice sounds the same to him as it does on tape, and I'm just weird. I wonder if it's the people with the least difference between what they hear and what other people hear that are the best singers? ( I'm a lousy singer, this sounds like a really good excuse to me! LOL)
  • Other people won't find a difference in the voice. Its only with the person who is speaking, we hear a somewhat muted version of our voice while talking so when we hear it on tape we find it different.
