    There are times I have to page at my work place and I just hate my voice on the line. I sound unprofessional and lack articulation.

    Sounding out names is also a pretty bad thing for me.

    You got any issue with your workplace? Your opinion and evaluation about your professional self?

    I don't like my voice in calls. It just sound so different from what I think it sounds like hahaha.

    Oh right, I don't like calls either way so not that I have lots of opportunity to insult my own voice.

    I'm pretty bad at communicating ideas clearly to coworkers and my supervisor, even though they seem really clear to me. Basically feels like I'm just babbling incoherent nonsense even to myself. Like it sounds so clear in my mind but once it comes out it's just word garbage.

    I believe that I have read somewhere that the way how you hear yourself speak from your own head vs the way you hear the way you speak through a recording is very different.

    I think it had to do something with the way the sound is transmitted through your own head/skull which sounds much better/just how you are used to hearing it vs when you hear a recording of it which is transmitted through your ears which probably loses some of its fidelity vs your head.

    As such i think it contributes to the sense of dissonance you feel.

    I used to have to make alot of calls, and it was ok as long as it was a call, but when it came time to decide who would work on leaving messages for the ones who would not answer, or record a new answering message for the ones who call back, I always did my best to avoid it because I don't like the way I sound (soft/weak sounding voice). I guess I thought that in a call I could at least distract the one I'm talking to with information, but a recording you can replay? oh no... that made me nervous...
    I did it a few times in the end, and that answering message... the thing I had to read out was so long, and I had to do it in two languages so it was long times two... had to retry it a bunch of times... Plus I moved my chair back and sat a bit farther from the phone and half yelled into it to get rid of the 'soft voice' sound (it worked), and it took a few tries to get the distance and volume right. Luckily no one else was in the same room at that time.

    I hate hearing my voice it’s annoying, the very definition of an annoying voice( passive aggressive sarcastic cynical ) but it is what I cultivated and wished for so I only have myself to blame

    I always thought myself so too, but you know, they just somehow tend to understand me. Even the normal average Joe—so I guess I’m not that bad.

    I'll never be able to get used to the sound of my own voice from another's perspective :blobmelt: (like in a recording or something)
    The acoustics in my head is better imo :cookie:

    I don't like the way it is perceived but I like how I perceive it instead

    I actually kinda like my recorded voice. I mean it's definitely a bit weird to hear my own voice from a 3rd person's perspective but I don't particularly hate it. Also it's really helpful to hear my own voice so I can change it to the way I want people to hear me rather than the way I think they hear me.
