What healed me, was being mistaken for my dad on the phone. And my dad’s got a nice voice, so mine can’t be too bad.
In my head, I’m Mel Torme.
To everyone else, I’m Eddie Deezen.
A lot of people tell me my voice is deep and im always like, its not that deep. Then i hear it recorded and realize how deep it is compared to other people.
When you speak, the voice is fed back to you through bones, so lower frequencies are dominant.
Did you mean to say higher frequencies?
No, it’s the lower frequencies that make you sound deeper.
I managed to inadvertently cure myself of this problem by recording a lot of music in my early 20’s. I became accustomed to hearing what my voice actually sounds like and got a lot better at controlling it as a result.
Those first few months of recording were rough though, lol. I hated listening to all of my recordings.
Any tips for learning to control your voice?
Practice with a microphone and headphones. Add some delay.
You will soon learn proper microphone technique and also how to adjust and get accustomed to the sound of your voice.
I hear my voice echo in Discord chat with my friends sometimes. It sounds like fucking banjo music. 😑
Doesn’t this depend on the microphone (and speakers)?
Something something bass perception. Took me a lot of training to not sound like a twink all the time.
Joke’s on you, I hate it either way
I have to make a video and I’m dreading editing it because I sound weird to myself
Add more bass to the audio. Then it will sound like you hear yourself. Basically you also hear your own voice through your own skull which acts sort of like a low pass filter. So you hear yourself more bassy when you speak.
Is that Rick Rubin ? I know he’s kind of a cult, but I wouldn’t use him in a context of “good hearing”, like Lars Ulrich
I thought it was Patrick Rothfus. Now I’m not so sure.
