When you talk, your voice travels through your head, like a secret message. But when someone else talks, their voice comes into your ears from the outside. That’s why it feels different, your own voice is kind of inside you, and others’ is outside.
Examples
- You talk to your dog, but when you hear yourself on the phone, it feels weird, like someone else's voice.
- Your mom hears your voice every day, but when she sees a video of you talking, it looks and sounds different than how you know it is.
- When you sing in the shower, it sounds amazing, but when you play the recording back, it feels totally different.
