Recorded voice Wednesday, Jul 29, 2009 2:14 pm

Popular Science answers the question of why you don't like the sound of your recorded voice

"When you speak, the vocal folds in your throat vibrate, which causes your skin, skull and oral cavities to also vibrate, and we perceive this as sound," explains Ben Hornsby, a professor of audiology at Vanderbilt University. The vibrations mix with the sound waves traveling from your mouth to your eardrum, giving your voice a quality -- generally a deeper, more dignified sound -- that no one else hears. Through a loudspeaker or recording device, you pick up sound only through air conduction.

Entertainers and public speakers have a knack for getting over this.
