Hey friend! If you’re recording your own vocals at home, you’ll probably like this free masterclass on recording and mixing vocals that I put together for you 👉 https://www.producinginthebox.com/workshop

My problem with exposure therapy is that the more I listen to my recorded voice, the less I want to open my mouth.

bro it's just that when I record my voice ppl are like "omg its so good" then when I hear it on that recording I sound like I'm trying too hard or like a dying cow 😭

I really like my voice, it's everyone else that doesn't!

When I was in high school, I hated the way my voice sounded in recordings. I dealt with it in a different way: I started taking voice lessons, eventually getting a degree in vocal performance. Your solution might be simpler, but I don't regret having taken my approach.

“I don’t just hate it. I love it. “I felt that

the familiarity thing also applies to photos. often people dont think they look good in photos, because no ones face is perfectly symmetrical, and we are WAY more used to seeing a reflection (and therefore inversion left to right) of our face. its just off enough to look 'wrong'.

The world needs more people who don't mind explaining stuff no one talks about, for different reasons.  Thank you. I've hated my voice 90% my life.

When I sing I sound like someone having a very difficult and complicated shit.

I used to hate how my voice sounded, but then I had to go through the processes of singing on stage with in-ear monitors, editing a lot of videos, and recording multiple songs. Honestly, it’s just the lack of familiarity, but it comes with time.

I only hate my voice when listening through a janky phone recording. Condenser mics really limited the hatred of my own voice

I'm straight up out of tune lol

Will have to try this and start recording more. I've often been told I sang well, but everytime I recorded myself I just deleted it almost right away because I did not like what I heard

I've gotten so many compliments on my voice over the years that I learned to like the voice i HEAR in my own head. And, then I hear the my unfamiliar recorded voice, & HATE it.

I remember hating my voice a few years back starting, so I learned mixing to alleviate it, now I like my voice it took years and getting comfortable with its natural talents to realize what makes it unique and it makes it refreshing to work on songs nowadays cause it’s more about what tone and emotion more so than “does my voice sound good to me”

I don't hate my voice. But the way I hear it in my head is so different than the recorded one. I agree that the equipment used to record can influence the result, but still. I hear my voice deeper and even when I'll sing "with my guts" and pour my heart in it, the recorded one would sound like a cute emotionless strangled cat from some Disney movies.  😳😆🙄

I’d love to hear what other people’s voices sound like to them. It’s 2024 and we don’t have a way to replicate this yet.

I've been making music for 12 years now and I just finally got to the point where I like my voice. Exposure therapy & interest in figuring out how to get to that desired sound took so long but was worth it. It also has a lot to do with just accepting that you wont hear yourself the same as others and to also think that no one feels or has that miniscule outlook on you that YOU have on yourself as well. I finally released my first project last month where I feel genuinely comfortable with sharing and just want to let y'all know you will get to the point. Cheers to those in the thick of it right now. Please continue making art.

I recorded a voice over for a product i was selling. I sent it to my sister and she was like "wow this sounds like a TV commercial"
Meanwhile the whole time I was hating the voice over and taught it was the worse voice in the history of mankind.

Hate my lead vocals, but rather enjoy my harmonies. Gonna try this. THANKS!
