singing


Question Posted Friday January 20 2006, 12:42 am

Do people hear their own singing voices accurately? Like if you listen to yourself while you sing, is what you hear at all like what everyone else hears? I recorded myself with a $40 recorder---it was muffled and awful and didn't sound a bit like when I hear myself when I sing

i think to a point you do.. like i dont think i do but when i record it and sing with the recording i sound exactly the same. i think you hear what you sound like but really you dont judge it accurately.

No, because since sounds travel in waves, your ear can't hear those waves directly like other people can so thus you always sound different than you think. And since a recoider like you buy at the wal*mart doesn't have a special device, it doesn't sound like your voice anyway.

when i recorded my self on the computer it sounded horrible but when i recorded myself on my tape recorder it sounded more of what i heard. so the better the equiptment is then the more acurate you voice will be from what you hear. which also means that youd need a more upper class recording studio. the one im going to has really good sound but its like 130$ an hr during the day and 90$ at night.. which is expensive but i know how it will sound. So it basically depends.

To hear your voice the way it really sounds, you need recording equipment - not a recorder. Recorders are evil and they never record singing well. Trust me on this. I cried because I heard a recording of myself once. Lol.
No, people do not hear their own singing voices accurately. Part of the problem with listening to yourself while you sing is that your voice resonates in your head and it alters the way you hear it. The resonance disrupts it all.
Chances are neither perception is accurate - the recording or the way you hear yourself.
Doesn't it suck?
