I try to stream my favorite games, and I will get small audiences because I do events in the online games. But whenever I try to edit or listen back I feel like I’m in pain.

Is it really annoying, or is it just that everyone hates their voice?

    If I heard this voice randomly somewhere it would be very unremarkable and I wouldn’t note anything unusual about it. It wouldn’t stand out as different to me.

    Most people I know, myself included, who have done recording work hate their voice. It doesn’t sound right to our ears. You just eventually get used to hearing it.

    Also, just as a fair warning: If you notice you lean on a word or phrase, or that you have a certain speech pattern you want to change, completely work on it, but don’t let it consume you. When you get to that point that you’re constantly looking for it, it’s time to walk away, even just for a short time. I can promise you, it’s nowhere near as bad as you might think. It’s just easy to be overly critical of yourself, and that includes your projects.

    I feel you, my thoughts on my voice are the same. Berry White in my head, Steve Urkel in the streets. But my wife of 20s lives with it so all good!
