My voice sounds different on camera?
Your last sentence states that your friends' voices sound the same on camera.. this could mean either of two things 1. The camera really doesn't change the sound of a person's voice. OR 2. The camera changes the sound of a voice so slightly that the only person who would notice is themselves. With that being said, you should ask your friends if you sound different on camera or you can ask them if they think they themselves sound different using the same camera. In my opinion, people will most likely think that they sound different but their friends sound the same simply because they're not used to the sound of their own voices... what you hear from your own ears when you sing is usually not the same as what other people hear.. I'm pretty sure this is the reason why a lot of people think they sound good when they really have no idea what they sound like. BUT... this just shows that you are one step ahead of everyone else because you are making an effort to listen to how you ACTUALLY sound. My advice to you is, learn to listen to your voice as if you had someone else's ears. This will require a lot of critiquing and listening to recordings of yourself but it really will be beneficial because you will learn to hear what others hear. Hope that helped :)
Why does my voice sound different on camera?
Hi, ok well I love to sing! and when I sing in person its sounds really good, I block one ear by pushing my ear closed with my finger and it still sounds really good. But when I'm singing on my video camera it comes up really different..I don't know if its because I'm not hearing my real voice, or if its because my camera just has bad quality. But when I sing on my camera I sound really young like almost 7 years old! Its not that I'm not hitting the right notes its just I sounds very young and not the same as in person. I don't know what the problem is. But if its probably a bad camera quality issue could you please point me to a really good digital video camera that has very good sound/video quality? Thank you so much! All Answers Are Appreciated :)
Why does your voice sound different when you hear it?
It sounds different because of the empty spots inside your skull called sinus cavities. When you speak the noise generate echos inside your head as well as moving externally, and that sound in part blends with what comes in through your ears to make you believe you know what your voice sounds like. Hearing a recording of your voice removes that phenomena, from inside you head and hears only the real sound that you are projecting.
Why does my voice sound different on video?
You are hearing what your voice actually sounds like to other people. This is typically somewhat different from the way it sounds to you. This is because you hear the sound resonating through your head bones and sinuses, and other people do not hear that. That's why it's very important to listen to recordings of yourself when practicing a speech. You don't know what you sound like. When you do, you can alter your tone and develop a better speaking voice. Also useful for singers.
Why does my voice sound beautiful when I sing, but when recorded, it sounds horrible?
An element worth noting in all of this is that you may be tuning your voice to what you're hearing, rather than to the acoustic of the room. When you sing, a certain percentage of the sound that you hear in real time is heard through bone, which can distort things. You may need to retrain your singing to ignore the effect of the bone, because it could be throwing you off.There's a cool trick that I love for doing this without having to record yourself all the time. Put your hand on each side up to the tragus of your ear (that little cartilage flap that's right on top of the ear opening) on each side. Put your hand there in the same position as though you were karate chopping, if that makes sense (but, obviously, gently). Then curve your fingers so that they outline the rest of your ear. You should look kind of like you're giving yourself Mickey Mouse ears if you're doing it right. Now try to speak. And try to sing, for that matter. Your voice should sound different but not THAT different. This is a pretty good approximation of what you sound like to people who aren't you. It's also a useful tool for where you should be recording your voice. Walk into a recording studio that you're thinking about using (or a room you're thinking of recording in), and try this out. If you don't feel good about the acoustic, record somewhere else!
Is there a way to record your voice so it sounds the same as it does to you when you speak?
No, you can't.The reason for this is that when YOU hear YOUR voice, you are hearing it via "bone conduction". What this means is that the vibrations that you cause in your throat to make sounds (like speech) also resonate against the bones in your jaw. This vibration is conducted (hence the term ''bone conduction") up the jaw and resonates into the middle ear.But when everyone else hears your voice (and we'll include microphones in that "everyone else" description!), they are hearing your voice transmitted through air, not bone.This is the fundamental difference for why we don't imagine our voice sounding the way other people hear us!So to get back to your original question, no; the only way you could get a recording to sound the way you THINK you sound is if someone were to develop a microphone which worked on bone conduction rather than by picking up fluctuating waves of air pressure.
How to tell what your voice sounds like to others?
Even in a recording, it is impossible to tell what your voice sounds like to others. Their ears (and the interpretation and internalization of the sounds a person hears) are unique to that person, specifically. We can no more know what our voice sounds like to another person than we can know what chocolate tastes like to them or what the color blue looks like to them (our own understanding of those concepts stem from our own "filters" so-to-speak, and even though we may agree that a color is blue or a food tastes like chocolate or that a singer is a "good" one or a "bad" one, those individual realities are highly personal and any commonality between or among them is simply mutual agreement without the benefit of complete, unfiltered access to the other's experiences). You might as well ask: "What is it like to be a bat?" We'll never be able to know. We can only approximate the experience.
Why does my voice sound different recorded?
when i sing out loud, it sounds pretty good to me, i mean i think im ok. but other people tell me im REALLY good. like i dont go looking for compliments, theyll just tell me that after hearing me, so i dont think theyre lying to me. but when i record myself with my laptop, it sounds soooooo much different than wat i hear and it sounds really bad and childish. why is this?
Why does my voice sound so bad recorded?
Who told you your voice sounds bad in a recording? Or… is this how you feel after hearing your voice the way others do?Two things:As has been explained, no one else is capable of hearing you the way you do. You, however, can hear what we hear when you listen to a recording.Learn this very quickly: your feelings almost always lie to you. (This is really more of a philosophical matter.) We are, almost all of us, given to dislike the actual sound we emit. But how you feel is simply how you feel. It is not a truth coded in your DNA (and, hence, how you actually sound) or anything. You almost certainly have a different opinion about your voice than anyone else. So find someone who has no reason to lie to you (unlike your feelings, which will tell you anything to protect you from some imagined future embarrassment) and listen to them.
I don't like my recorded voice it sounds weird why and can i do something about it?
The reason we never like the way we sound on tape is that we have these great resonating chambers inside our skulls, so our voices seem richer and fuller to us. Then when we hear a tape, that structure isn't there. But what we're hearing is what the rest of the world hears when we talk or sing, and it sounds perfectly normal to them. Let someone hear whatever it is you've recorded and tell you if it sounds normal to them. If it does, go ahead and post the video. It won't sound strange to anyone but you.
