  • Wow i sound like a kid -.-

  • You could also get a microphone, record it and play it back :P

  • mine is exatcly as it was before xD

  • this is awesome :D i did with my porn magazines :D

  • Okay.. I'm not sure this actually worked because... well I sound the same. Am I doing something wrong??

  • I feel as if I was watching dora...

  • Good one Chris I've been using this for decades but only by putting my flat open hands where you have the folders. The other way is to sing quietly into the tiled corner when you're in the shower. You may also find that your voice is a lot louder than you thought it was. Besides, the shower is a good place to try this, unless you're showering with a friend.

  • I tried it and it works :) turned out i sound kinda good :P a few singing lesson would help though haha should i post a video of me singing?? Hmm?? O.O

  • i still hate it lol.

  • the first time i heard my real voice i felt i love.. thank you so much now i'm a new person xD =D

  • SO, is my real voice (that everyone hears), the voice that comes when i have those paper's in front of my ears...?? I sound good.... D: but when i record i sound stupid -.- So is this the voice that everyone hears when i have those papers!?

  • when i do this is sound so much better when i record myself on my iphone....what do i do?

  • thank you so much :D

  • I won't even try I know I'm gonna be insecure after XD. as looking myself in pictures and pretending it's not really me XD. in mirror I'm great but the second I take a picture.... Whatev

  • the best way is just record your voice using a recorder and u can hear ur voice LOL

  • Which method of hearing yourself is more accurate? When I do this I still sound different from when I record myself on my ipod. I sound way worse on the ipod.

  • @DeoxysDNA LOL!

  • I had a voice teacher at a college class last night, have me try this last night while I was singing in front of the class. I did not understand what she was trying to show me. And I felt foolish. It freaked me, out not hearing myself like I'm used to. Now, I see she was trying to get me to project my voice out, and to hear my voice more like everyone else does.

  • i sound weird

    

  • T__T B-b-b-b-bbbbut I sound the same except softer! D=

  • 1:52 ...you know how many friends I make when I do this? .... a million.

  • @NicholasGreen91 lol epic reference.

  • awk moment when both the top comments are almost exactly the same

  • Only my right speaker works so i cant hear a thing haha

    Can someone please tell me what to do???

  • @awpicteesh LOL. mine does that too.LOL

  • @awpicteesh You have to find some magazines, file folders or a few pieces of A4 papers and put them in front of your two ears. Now, sing.

  • i sound gay

  • you are smart

  • this video is coming out of the left speaker

  • Thanks Chris. Now I can hear how I actually sound when im singing and I sound wayy better than i thought i did. Thanks again.

  • ARe You Ryan Beatty's Dad ?

  • This should work for your singing voice, yes?

  • Is it just me or does he sounds different at 1:50 ??

  • Wow,I sound better then I thought !

  • @BelindaSaah My voice sounds lighter and less manly then I thought. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

  • @wavepsychic Haha,that depends on you ;) I don't think it's a bad thing ^^

  • @BelindaSaah Thank you. I believe it's because the wave lengths become stretched when they travel away so that's why our voices sound deeper to us.

  • Wow good advice! I always wondered about this!

  • My right ear enjoyed this. I turned my head.

  • very useful thankyou! xx does it actually work though :$

  • My right ear is lonely. Oh, so lonely.

  • earplug...

  • 2:43 <---- Dumbo XD

  • oh shit o0

  • thumbs up!!! :)

  • My voice sounds more muffled and less clear when I do this, but it doesn't sound like that on recordings, so I'm not sure this method "really" shows you what you sound like to others - for a start, others are capturing your voice direct into the front of their ears, whereas with this method you've blocked that off

  • You can just use your hands..

  • 16 people don't have file folders

  • Comment removed

  • can u just use ur hand?

  • when recording it's high and when doing this it's low i wonder which one is right *sigh*

  • He sounds like Stephen Hawkin with an upgrade

  • so my voice is a bit higher than I thought it was, note to self never whine like a kid in a high register ever again. I'm amazed no one has killed me for that yet with this voice O.o

  • Dr phil?

  • You successfully trolled me, old man.

  • thickness of carpet

  • he reminds me of doctor phil

  • So I sound like a man. Great. So now that I know what I sound like to other people and absolutely despise my voice and never want to speak again, what am I to do now?

  • ummmm...... am i the only one that can't hear him?

  • @valentino3458 its probably your left speaker thats busted :/

  • cool tips! more on why you sound different you're talking than when you hear a recording of yourself, it's because when you hear a recording, you hear it because the sound traveling through the air is hitting your ear drum, causing vibrations that is interpreted in your brain. that's hearing by air conduction only. but when you are directly talking, in addition to the air conduction, you also have bone conduction. your brain puts the two together to produce the final interpretation of sound.

  • 16 people have a terrible voice. 

  • 1:50 , an elephant
