I think I sound ok in my head, however cringe almost every single time I hear myself through a recording.

In a similar vein when I previously had a phone-related sales position I was told that I "sounded so smooth, I'd buy anything from you" from a quality assurance employee/manager that listens to the calls, but gag pretty much any time I hear my own voice.

Heres an app idea someone should steal.

There should be an app that lets OTHER people hear how YOU hear yourself.

Has it ever occurred to you that you've NEVER heard how even your family hears themselves?

I don't like how it sounds while I'm talking, but I do like how it sounds recorded/through a microphone.

I've been told I sound like Snoop, so I'm okay with it.

I'd prefer it if it was deeper, though.

The tone isn't great, but at least I have The Correct Accent (slight Jersey).

When I hear myself speak, it's fine.
When I hear it without the filter of my bones? I fucking hate it.

I do not hear my accent when I speak. But it's there when I hear myself through recordings.

My voice is weird, it changes around depending on how I'm feeling. Usually it's this annoying af higher pitch tone, like I can tell it's annoying even just listening to myself but I don't talk much so it works out. But if I'm really not feeling it the tone deepens and it gets growly. I don't get why does that when I'm not even mad.

Like most people I don't really like hearing my voice in recordings and whatnot.

But I do have a very deep "radio friendly" voice or at least I've been told that many times.

Yup, best way to explain it. You hear your accent. I feel like it also appears thicker than it really is for some reason. Especially when talking loud. Like wtf that sounds NOTHING how I hear it....

It's alright, but I don't particularly like it or anything. I also hate hearing myself on video, but I don't think that's really uncommon.

I don't talk to people so I dunno about that. People have probably only heard the regular tone when I was still in school. I think one person heard my other tone and they looked at me like O_O

But I'm not mad, I'm just tired all the time.

Too deep. It's approaching Stallone territory if I don't keep it in check. It sounds even deeper when I play back a recording. I try to raise it when I'm speaking to people that I don't know.

I've always been proud of it, and constantly get told I should get into narration/VA. Kind of sucks how even though I'm in one of the few areas on the planet where you can find work for that, getting your foot in the door is next to impossible.

I think I speak way to loud when I talk so I try and compensate for it by toning it down.

Anyone who talks to me says they can't hear me and that I mumble. Friends can't even hear me over my headset despite me deep throating my mic.

Have you looked into any vocal training in preparation?

I'd need to ask a few clients how they did it before I make any suggestions, but from what I understand it's pretty common.

Terrible. My recorded voice sounds nothing like the version I hear in my head. Makes me not even want to talk if I know someone is recording.
