Wow.. that's what I sound like?

[SpookG]

I happened to be checking all my radio stations and came across a recording of my last FFR radio show..

O_o it is....really..bizarre... to hear myself.... and then hear myself talking..

[Falcon]

meh, you do a great job. i wish i could spin...

as far as the voice thing, i was in a video for extra credit in my greek history class where i was dressed as pentheus (who ends up dressing like a girl and is torn apart by a bunch of women) and that was just flat out weird. so, i know how you feel.

[RobbyZero]

It's ok everyone sounds dumb being recorded and stuff...Just the way it is.

[Lupin_the_3rd]

then...how do you know what you really sound like?
it's different because you're ears are hearing the wavelengths from a different angle...so what do other people hear you like?

[scorpio1690]

You being recorded in any way steals your soul

[Lupin_the_3rd]

kinda like that damn monkey in my closet

[Moogy]

Why does every topic turn to spam immediately?

Anyway, people always sound different on recordings. Don't worry about it.

The reason you sound weird is because the soundwaves rattle around in the sinuses in your skull, resulting in a different sounding voice. What you hear over the answer machine, tape player etc. is what you really sound like.

Except that is a magnetic medium, unable to save wavelengths the same way a perfect digital environment can. Seems like you would need a good recording mic and sampling to get a close enough aproximation. Video camera's use a lower frame rate than real life and so your voice sounds different. When I was younger, I sounded like a little girl on the video camera.

What Jewpin said.

It is wierd though...first time I heard myself on tape after my voice dropped I was like 'woah...wierd.'

[Lupin_the_3rd]

i hate my voice on tape... i sound like a supernerd dork person

[Tasuke]

i hate my voice on tape... i sound like a supernerd dork person

But I thought you we-...
Oh. Nevermind. heh.

Nobody even bothers video-taping me, because. Well, I don't do anything.
But all of my friends say that I always sound different on the foney
I tihnk that's what you guys are talkin' about.

Uh....FPS for videos has fucking NOTHING to do with sound in a video. Wtf. If it did, you would s-n-d l-ik -i-s.

And jewpin is the right one on the voice sound. If it were different angles....depending on whee you were, a person would sound TOTALLY different than they did at another angle. Its the sound (mostly vibrations) that travel through your skull that makes your voice sound fucked up to you when you speak.

I sound like a frog IRL...sometimes. OTherwise I stammer a bit, and trail off really weirdly.

But I can yell like nobody's business. :O

[SpookG]

actually..the main point of my original post was that it was odd to just hear myself on the radio playing a dj set, not so much my voice...

But yeah, thanks guys for thinking I don't know a damned thing about acoustics

[Blank]

Wait.. It isn't ANGLES, it is vibrating through your, um, nose and all that empty stuff... ..*wishes he had paid attention during "ears week" in biology*
