The way you perceive your own voice when you speak is a combination of sound transmitted through the air and vibrations conducted through your bones to your inner ear. This unique combination gives your voice a different quality when you hear it compared to how others hear it.
Recording your voice and having it play back to sound exactly the way you hear it is challenging because most recordings capture sound through external microphones, which do not pick up the bone-conducted vibrations that contribute to your personal perception.
However, there are a few methods you can try to get a closer representation of how you hear your voice:
Bone Conduction Headphones: These special headphones use bone conduction technology to transmit sound vibrations through your bones directly to your inner ear. By bypassing the external ear, they can give you a sense of how your voice sounds to you.
Vocal Training: Working with a vocal coach or speech therapist can help you develop better vocal control and awareness. They can guide you in adjusting your pitch, resonance, and other vocal aspects to achieve the desired sound or to match the way you perceive your voice.
Recording in Different Environments: Experimenting with recording your voice in different environments may provide a different acoustic experience. For example, try recording in a room with more reflective surfaces or in a smaller space to capture more of the resonances you perceive.
Remember that even with these techniques, you may not fully replicate the exact sound you hear when you speak. However, they can offer some insight and help you refine your vocal technique based on your personal perception.
