Yes, your voice on camera is your real voice, but it might sound different to you. This difference occurs because you usually hear your own voice through vibrations in your skull, making it sound deeper. On camera, you're hearing it like others do, through air conduction, which can make it seem higher-pitched and unfamiliar.

FAQs & Answers

  2. How can I improve how my voice sounds on video? Practice speaking clearly, use quality microphones, and adjust recording settings to improve the sound quality of your voice on video.
  3. Is it normal to dislike the sound of my own voice? Yes, it's common to dislike the sound of your voice on recordings due to the way we perceive our own voice internally compared to how others hear it.
