Hate my own voice

Liking YTtalk
Im recording my commentaries through Audacity, and I hate my voice as. Is this normal? If so, how did you adapt to it as a YouTuber?
 
lol I HATE MY VOICE TOO! But I'm doing videos that will appeal to little kids, so I don't worry about it. I'm sure you sound fine! Your link doesn't work FYI
 
I was the same when I started a gaming channel so many months ago I hated my voice but that was because a lack of confidence as the time grew I got better at the more I did the better I became and got more confidence so just keep at it and eventually you will like your voice just from my experience
 
I've always hated my voice and I most likely always will, I've just gotten into the habit of thinking, oh people like my videos and like hearing me talk.
 
I just realised there is something else I can say ._.

When I'm recording I often go into my OC form which is the character I created and is my channel mascot sort of thing.
 
I think it happens with everyone, but the more you do it, the more comfortable you become
and you just get over it really or you'll grow to not care/ like your voice :)
 
Here's the thing about voices. You spent your entire life up until the point of recording, listening to the resonance of your own voice through your skull. This is not your voice, but rather a heavily modulated version of your voice. So when you get into recording, it can be quite jarring to hear yourself speak. This used to more commonly come out when people listened to themselves on an answering machine (precursor to voicemail for those too young to remember).

Just remember that while this new voice you're not used to hearing may sound awkward to you, it doesn't to other people. They may or may not like your voice just like you may or may not like the voice of people you speak to but it is not weird to them like it is to you.

The only way to adapt to it, is to learn to love your own voice or at a bare minimum, learn to tolerate it. It's the only one you get, unless you can do impressions, in which case turn that s**t up to 11.
 
Yeah basically everyone doesn't like their voice. It because when you hear it recorded it sounds different from in your head so you're just not as used to hearing it.

Luckily I got over it when I was about 10.
