Do you like your voice?

I guess I'll be the arrogant butt and say I genuinely like my own voice. It's one of my exceedingly few positive qualities, haha. Back in college I had professors say I should go into broadcasting, so YouTubing is sooooort of my way of doing that.
 
Can't stand listening to myself lol I have to for editing purposes but I'd rather not. I used to get picked on for my voice so I've always been a bit self-conscious about it, people say I have a nice voice but I hate it :P

I always watch my videos before and after editing them to upload them on my channel. I really hate my voice. People in the real world and online have said I have a good speaking voice, but I still don't like listening to myself. I'm my toughest critic in all walks of life including YouTube.

Don't worry about it, you will get used to it after you edit more vids. Studies shown that it is because we have not hear ourselves thru our own ears before (more like you heard it from the inside of your body), that is why it is werid to hear it, as a result, you hate it.

I don't hate my voice but I hate my accent lol
 
I used to hate hearing it on videos but now I'm used to it. It doesn't make me cringe or want to delete everything ever so I'm over it. Laughing on the other hand... o.o

Chill, mate - there isn't anything you can do! It's bound to sound different outside our head! There are billions of voices out there, we all have a unique one! ;)
 
I have this issue, from hearing myself talk it doesn't sound terrible but when I hear a recording it sounds more on the 'off' side so it makes me hesitant about doing LP type stuff.

It's the same problem for everyone. It's because we all hear your voice only through our ears, but you hear your own voice a little bit different.

So first of all remember it's normal that you don't like it. Second: remember that other people like your voice anyway (at least I like it, it's very najs). An the last thing - record more and you'll get used to it :)
