I managed to inadvertently cure myself of this problem by recording a lot of music in my early 20's. I became accustomed to hearing what my voice actually sounds like and got a lot better at controlling it as a result.
Those first few months of recording were rough though, lol. I hated listening to all of my recordings.
Add more bass to the audio. Then it will sound like you hear yourself. Basically you also hear your own voice through your own skull which acts sort of like a low pass filter. So you hear yourself more bassy when you speak.
A lot of people tell me my voice is deep and im always like, its not that deep. Then i hear it recorded and realize how deep it is compared to other people.

Any tips for learning to control your voice?

Practice with a microphone and headphones. Add some delay.
You will soon learn proper microphone technique and also how to adjust and get accustomed to the sound of your voice.

I’ve had instant feedback on my headset for years now and it actually sounds weird not to hear my own voice back.

What healed me, was being mistaken for my dad on the phone. And my dad's got a nice voice, so mine can't be too bad.

I have to make a video and I’m dreading editing it because I sound weird to myself

When you speak, the voice is fed back to you through bones, so lower frequencies are dominant.
Shapillon@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Did you mean to say higher frequencies?
Michal@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y
No, it's the lower frequencies that make you sound deeper.
Shapillon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
So if lower frequencies are dominant through bone they should make your voice sound deeper to you, not higher pitched.
Michal@programming.dev · 2 pts · 1y
Yes they should. From the top comment it appears as if the commenter has a difference experience.

Is that Rick Rubin ? I know he's kind of a cult, but I wouldn't use him in a context of "good hearing", like Lars Ulrich

I thought it was Patrick Rothfus. Now I'm not so sure.

In my head, I'm Mel Torme.
To everyone else, I'm Eddie Deezen.

Doesn't this depend on the microphone (and speakers)?
