Sobre este episodio

Ever cringe after listening to a voice note you just sent—wondering how your voice could possibly sound that high-pitched or nasal? You’re not imagining it, and you’re definitely not alone. The phenomenon is called voice confrontation, and it comes down to how we hear ourselves differently than everyone else. When you speak, you hear your voice through both air and bone conduction, which makes it sound deeper and richer to you. But on a recording, you’re only getting the air transmission—so all those higher frequencies take center stage. So, why do we hate the sound of our own voice and is it really that bad? We under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, you can click here : What is “revenge bedtime procrastination”? Can standing on one leg save your life?
