Having studied human anatomy at some length, I believe I can answer your question. When a recording device captures your voice, it receives only the sound waves that travel through the air from your vocal apparatus.
When you hear your own voice, sound waves travel through the air to your ears, but sound also travels directly through your solid head to your ears.
If you cover your ears firmly (so that no sound waves can get in from the air), you can still hear yourself humming or talking quite loudly. Those are the soundwaves travelling directly through your flesh and bones to the inner ear.

Well you may think you sound one way, but you don't. you can't really hear your own voice when you talk, like you know what it sounds like. Or do you mean like when a singer is singing? that could be that the company remixed his/hers voice.
Hope i helped.
