"No, you really do sound like that."

But it would literally just take two people to figure it out. Because your recorded voice still sounds the same as your regular voice to everyone else. It only sounds weird to you.

And they DID need to improve the equipment. The first recordings sounded bad.

Isn’t everyone a bit surprised when they first find that out?

I think he means that the first time in history that someone recorded voices and played them back, nobody would have ever heard themselves speaking from a recording before that, so they wouldn't have expected it and may have been very confused about what was going on.

The people upvoting this sh*te and downvoting the reply need to loosen their egos. The point is that most people have never heard of the phenomenon before they make a recording of themselves and then they discover it. Everyone's confused when they first hear a recording of themselves.

So like I said everyone is confused when they first hear their voice before learning that it sounds off. And it’s a pretty simple explanation as to why that is. I’m sure the inventor of a recording device would be smart enough to figure that out.

Ya I hate my voice because it sounds so different then what I hear

You hear your own voice from inside your head conducted through your bones so it sounds different to you than it does to everyone else. When you hear a recording it sounds the way everyone else hears it.

They probably just thought: "it's a prototype, just needs some correction"

They might not have, since they were the first people to record voice they might have thought they needed to improve the audio equipment.
