With this simple trick you will find out how others hear your voice.
Has it ever happened to you to hear your own voice recorded by any device and be amazed at how different it sounds? And you even asked someone if your voice has that same tone and was shocked when the answer was yes - why in your ears is the sound completely different?
Because according to a guy named Chris Beatty - who acts as a singing teacher - this is because, in addition to the vibration that the sound of our voice causes in various structures present in our heads and ears, we also have access to a “preview sample”. ”From the sound that travels through the sides of our face to our ears.
According to Chris, we judge these stimuli all to be the tone of our voices. However, when other people hear us talking, the sound must travel through the environment to reach their ears - being affected by a variety of factors such as temperature, humidity, number of people present at the venue, objects and textures that appear in the room. find there etc. - which is why the tone is so different.
But, let's get to the trick! To know how your voice sounds to other people, just place two magazines - or something - on the sides of your face, right in front of your ears, to make them act as noise deflectors. Like this, see:
According to Chris, magazines (he used a couple of file organizers) block that preview sample that travels across the sides of the face and prevent sound from reaching our ears - and what we hear is more or less like the ones we hear. our voices sound to other people hear us. In fact, according to the teacher, it is cool to take the test so that we have an idea of how others perceive our voice to, if appropriate, work on some adjustments and make it more enjoyable.
