You know when I was on Annie Adventure’s podcast and YouTube, we were talking about the phenomenon of hating our own voice on video? Turns out, there’s a scientific reason why!
It’s a mix of physiological and psychological factors. When you hear yourself speak, you experience it through bone conduction, which is different from how recorded sounds reach your ears. This can create a weird disconnect.
Plus, societal pressures and the judgments tied to our voices can affect how we feel about them.
Even professionals often change their voices to meet career expectations. So, next time you cringe at your voice, remember, you’re definitely not alone!
