hearing my own voice
I recorded myself singing on a video recorder, which is pretty accurate, and it was really...well, different than I expected. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't really good. But my dad and choir teacher say that I'm good. Does everyone think they don't sound too good for the first time, or is it just me? Am I not a good judge of this because it's hearing myself for the first time and all?

Same thing happened to me. I hate listening to myself sing on a recording and so do alot of other people. I think its just life. I have done it more than once, listening to myself sing and all and i think that i SUCK!!! but yet every one says im good and i sung at a wedding. Dont worry about it and go with wat you want. either you think you are good or you dont. hope i helped. -Jae-be

most people think they suck at singing. other people are a much better judge. its not that you are hearing your voice that differently, its more that people tend to be too hard on themselves.

If it was just your father saying so I might have been skeptical but your choir teacher is a professional. If he says you've got some pipes then you have no reason to worry. As far as why you sound different on a recording, it's actually because we hear our own voices at a lower tone than everyone else hears us because we not only get the sound vibrations from our mouth to our ears but also the vibrations inside our throat and mouth travel through our bodies directly to the inside of the inner ear.

Everyone hatess their voice recorded. It's just a fact of life. If your dad and choir teacher say you sound good then you probably sound good. Don't worry about it you are probably better than you think.

Pretty much everyone thinks they sound like a dork the first time they hear their voice recorded. You can get used to it eventually, but it just sounds wrong at the beginning.
We all hear ourselves a notch lower than everyone else does (if memory serves) which is what makes is so strange when we hear ourselves on tape.
So give it a bit, and listen to yourself often to get used to it. Your dad and choir are probably right.
