I know what I'm about to bring up here has been priorly discussed on a thread, but after searching for the thread I'm unable to locate it. What causes our voices to sound different to us than everyone else. You the know the ol', "boy, I sure sound weird on the answering machine" line. I think it's so strange/cool/wierd that no one in the world will ever hear our voice the way it sounds to us when we speak. How does this affect singing? Is this why people who think they can sing really can't? Does it affect tone and pitch? Can you tell when you're singing the right notes by ear or is this a learned ability?
