If you sing out loud along with a song, have you noticed that usually your voice sounds good, or at least on key? Maybe this is only true for me but I doubt it. Maybe it's because you're listening to the song, which sounds good and on key, while you're singing. But if you hear a recording of your own voice, singing or not, it always sounds awful! I think I've heard that people hear their own voices in a way that is biologically different from the way other people hear their voices—in other words, if you hate your voice, it's probably just an illusion! Think of it this way: do you actually hate the way that anyone else's voice sounds? OK, maybe for a few people, but it's not really that common.
When lead singers of bands listen to their own songs, do they cringe at their own voice?
