Heh, it took me eight years to realize that my nose wasn't set right (kicked in the face), resulting in it being significantly off-center. Don't know how I managed to avoid noticing it that long; it's pretty obvious.

Personally I've come to terms with the way my voice sounds. I used to worry about it because it wasn't naturally deep or smooth, but ultimately the performance matters more than the voice itself. It's great to improve the voice you have (which seems to be the intent behind the links in the original post), but I think it's also important to accept that some of us will never have a classically beautiful voice- and that's alright. No reason to try to be something you aren't, right? There are other ways to deliver memorable performances.]]></content>

Just record yourself several times and then play it back.  You will get the hang of it.

It's an interesting problem though.

I'm sure we've all experienced this. I watched this video because it came up in the suggestions bar, and I deal with this my self. I decided to look into this and found this article. [url]http://www.marquette.edu/magazine/recent.php?subaction=showfull&id=1260897469[/url] ... So I'm not the only one falsely blaming my cheap, low-quality mic. So I did even further research and found this, [url]http://vocalcoach.hubpages.com/hub/6-Reasons-Why-You-Hate-Your-Voice[/url] . So apparently no one else hears my voice the way I do. Shame, I quite like the way I sound sometimes :P . I found that actually doing exercises and recording in specific positions while recording can help you achieve the voice you already have, if that makes any sense at all. This find I have mixed opinions about, I'm kinda disappointed that it was really me sounding no-so-great this whole time, but a bit hopeful at the fact it can be fixed. And being a musician, just interested in general :lol: . So, I hope this helped, what do you think of this find?]]></content>
