Ever listen to a recording of your voice and think, “There is no way I sound like that”? The problem is not your voice. It is your brain.
This reaction is called auditory self perception bias. You hear yourself from inside your head, but a recording plays back the true external version. Your brain is not used to that sound, so it feels unfamiliar.
The good news is you can retrain your brain quickly:
1️⃣ Normalize it. Everyone experiences this bias.
2️⃣ Expose yourself to it. Listen to short clips of your voice every day.
3️⃣ Reframe the question. Focus on storytelling, not perfection.
4️⃣ Build auditory memory. Record often so your mental version matches the real one.
You do not hate your voice. You are just hearing it from a new angle. And that angle might be exactly what brands want.
