Sometimes recorded voice sound much better than what you hear yourself.

Thank you for the recording advice, it's really helpful. I don't hate my recorded voice, but I hate how much "control" is lost when I try recording sometimes. I feel all these well enunciated and smooth words coming out and think I've nailed it, only to find all that smoothness gone, so your mic hack was very appreciated!

'why you hate your recorded voice (and how to fix it)'? I hope you know, your ideas are good for some, but not everyone. There's about 24 different types of people and not all of them think like you. Some just think you're werid. I've done 1,538 videos in 1,538 days. And I don't mic the body. I mic the room. But that's just me.

That exposure therapy advice actually works, and it makes you a better singer as you start feeling a lot more confident of your voice, and lets be honest, when you're not comfortable with the way you sound. it shows when you're performing

This makes a lot of sense however I have a disability or maybe I’m just still leaning on that idea, but I’ve always thought it had a lot to do with everything. I went through as a kid all the surgeries and having to learn how to talk again. just thinking about what you’re talking about on top of my problems behind-the-scenes of life… Just adds to the depression.

I started recording my own voice back in 2022 and still going, while not every day but I can notice a few differences. If I take a vocal lesson I'll probably get better faster, but it's too expensive for me to afford. I know I'm lacking in a lot of things, but sometimes it's so fun to sing in a call with friends

I actually like how my voice sounds when I talk, it's when I sing when it starts to feel like im listening to torture

8:07 facing it up but down towards your chest … huh?😂

i sound good until i start recording music😍

People tell me i sound so good, one person even said "disney princess" (i was singing PAINT's after ever after at the time) but then i try to record it and play it back and it's like "y'all're either trippin or lying to me" 😂 So thank you for this video 🙃

my friends think my voice is gud but i dont agree thats normal right

I had lymphoma cancer when I was a kid and my voice has been horrible ever since. I’ve hated it for years. And I’m currently try to do CZcams. Hoping this video helps

This make sense man I don't like my voice recorded on WhatsApp its so weird its seems another person 😂

Thank you so much dude, this isn’t only helping my music production but my mental health as well

FUCK YEAH!

Great video! It reminds me though why doing CZcams for so long frustrated the hell out of me. I'd produce videos over and over that I knew were good, and yet, too few were giving my stuff a 'like' that I worked so hard at for over ten years. I don't know why, algorithm whatever, channel didn't grow, the few people who stayed with me and became familiar with me loved my stuff. I suspect that most people finding my videos were finding it for the first time. And because it wasn't familiar they're not engaging. So frustrating! I don't have a problem liking stuff I've never seen before. I've seen pretty much everything. I don't have a problem with the unfamiliar. Most people seem to though. Seems to make most people uncomfortable when something isn't familiar.

A problem I still have is that so much nuances and emphasizing is lost. My real (recorded) voice sounds flat and is missing so many details. Why do the details get lost? I think exposure therapy is best. But I still have to and want to learn to adapt/transport things I really like doing with me voice (in my own ear) to my "real" voice that everyone hears. Becaude every nuance or tone is lost on the recording. I also sound a lot more boring/weird and like being ignorant on my recorded voice. Not yet liking this. PS: About speaking, not singing. What *does* work though is pitching my voice a little bit higher on purpose... and boom! It's not perfect (as I hear it), but the details are like 70% there. In comparison to 0% when I don't pitch my voice higher. Not yet there loving my recorded voice. What is really weird, that I often got compliments about my (speaking) voice. Like quite often. And I'm like thinking "If they only knew!" (how much "better" my inner voice sounds) Still not believing the compliments, but it won't really stop, so I guess folks have a point. But I'm not feeling it. Going there eventually. Thanks for this insightful video!

I've always felt like its a adhd or maybe its my mild autistic tendancies... The echo or repeat of my voice in my ears is just "wrong" esp if the recording monitor is off by even a few mms. Its the same reason i have issues with shadows or spinning items near me or off to my side. I find i don't have issues if the delay is 0. but i can't have filters on the voice to do that.

I listen to a lot of "emo" music but I always thought my own perception of my voice sounded only tangentially "emo" but then I recorded it and I sound like I'm making fun of the music by being overly emo lol

What is the name of the keyboard behind you? It looks like everything I’ve been looking for. 🎹

The only thing worse than hearing my own voice is hearing an otherwise intelligent sounding person say "firmiliar" repeatedly. It's like a portmanteau expressing a familiar firmness 😅

You kind of remind me of a cross between Jimmy Fallen and Michael J Fox. Not as much your voice, but the way you look and come across in this video. I have always hated my voice. I don’t think I have good diction and my articulation sounds so gargled or not very clean and crisp. So sounding a little higher doesn’t bother me as much as the lack of crisp clarity.

I like my talking voice (recorded) way more than my singing voice (recorded)..

I actually disagree with a lot of what you said for one not everyone likes familiarity and the reason they dont like thier voice is because they simply dont like it in general. and exposure therapy would help but i feel its more about learning different techniques rather than just getting used to your voice

this is so heart-warming,, thanks alot

good knowledge, thank you

Next time, why don't you actually show the position of the mic, height, angle etc. Difficult to get it clear from just a description. Just a thought,

Thank you!

Good advice. It does seem odd when you hear your own voice. I remember as a kid listing to my own voice on recorded tape player and thought to myself, "I sound like that?" Now I understand why. This video helps as well. I love my own voice since I have been singing. Great tip withe the Mic also, works soooo much better. Thank you Sir.

I love my recorded voice .. the problem is everyone hates it

Omfg ive always hated my voice recorded loved the way i sounded when singing and people say im good but when i hear it recorded it makes be want to cry lmao my ears bleed. 😂😂 Thanks for the tips

I don't believe that these mics are doing such a great work. They work all with the same techniques.. When I record my family with no matter what mic they always sound indeed with the mics differently. The world simply says that these microphones are perfect, but maybe they are not. Seems to me that they give a slightly different coloring to the voice for everyone I've tested..

I learned to sing, and now love it

He’s not lying it actually works I’ve been doing it for years we got to collab bro 🤘🏾🤙🏾

this may be more complicated, but I tend to have complex song ideas, and having fl studio mobile on my phone helps me a lot to write them down more accurately. I'm sure there are free mobile daws that will work as well

I always had to record 3 to 8 times due to hating my voice.

When you put in the reps, tasks become easier, lawing you the space to experiment and discover new and better ways and expand your abilities.

Bro i love u after this video hahah

I love this perspective. Thank you for sharing it <3

I actually hate my voice the way it sounds. Being from Manchester UK it sounds so common and I actually realize I don’t pronounce my „Ts“ when I listen back. 🤦‍♂️ What microphone do you recommend I get. I really should get use to recording because would like to start making video with the content that I have. Also… really appreciate your time and effort with this video 🙌🙌🎥

Thank you, I enjoyed this video

what kind of Marshall is that, is it a speaker or an amp?

I don’t like my voice any way I hear it 😂😂

this is so true, tysm I wanna try this now every day but I am still so bad at writing and recording because it's so overwhelming 😭

i feel like i dont really hate my voice. it does sound a little weird and awkward when i hear my voice played back to me, but i still dont hate it. i think i sound cute.

Needed to hear this so bad. And now I need to rewire my brain to assume positive intent. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it!

I can't wait to try the mic positioning. Thanks man

Depends upon the listeners. My wife criticizes all the times that my voice is saggy. Last month I sent a singing demo to my old girlfriend and she liked it. "Reminds me of good times we sang together". Now I have to decide! Technically, I found few things that encouraged me: - Sing loudly but limit at 75%. Highest key. Imagine trajectory of QB throwing ball. - Choose melody that goes up&down (hiding stain mode). Less distortion noticed because the varying notes overide vocals. - Start 1st round in a quick draft mode. Re-record and listen again & again. If I hear less and less bad parts or drift along the not-so-bad parts, then I award myself "It's getting Better".

I don’t hate my voice to just myself I hate it in general it’s absolutely awful

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.
