“Do I really sound like that?” That is the question that you will hear many students ask the first they hear themselves on an audio recording. It takes time to get accustomed to hearing your own voice on a recording because it sounds different to you than it does when you’re simply hearing yourself talk. A recent episode of SciShow explained why our voices sound different to us than they do to others.
