Does anyone actually like the sound of their own recorded voice?

I do not

Negative. Sounds nothing like me, but it is exactly...me.

I'm sure Josh Innes does.

Mine doesn't sound bad to my ears, but not nearly as good as what I usually think I sound like. My accent sounds worse when recorded, and I didn't know that was possible.

This was on like a mythbusters show or something like that. It's scientifically proven most people think their voice sounds weird on a recorded playback.

I've got a face for radio and a voice for silent movies.

I think people universally hate hearing themselves speak. The worst for me is being on a sales call and I can hear myself in the background. It's like nails on a chalk board, plus it makes it difficult to speak fluidly

It sounds different than I hear myself. I don't dislike it, but it's different.

The way you sound on tape is how everybody else hears you.

Always upsets the nursing students when we discuss wave resonance.

Well, yeah, because you don't typically hear your own voice as others do. When you speak, part of what you hear is sound traveling from your mouth to your ear through the air and part is sound conducted from your throat through your skull into your ear. When you listen to a recording, you don't get that sound conducted through your melon and you hear your voice as others do, which is not normal for you.
