Voice therapists work with patients to improve their cadence and the rhythms of their pitch by doing specific exercises, like working on breathing patterns by getting them to blow bubbles through a straw.
If voice therapy is unsuccessful, people can seek seek specialist psychologist support. Write to Kate Samuelson at kate. By Kate Samuelson. You hear your own voice differently When you hear people talking, sound waves travel through the air and into your ears, vibrating your ear drums. Get our Health Newsletter.

Our skulls deceive us by, in fact, lowering the frequency of these vibrations along the way, which is why we often perceive ourselves as higher-pitched when we listen to a recording.
That explains why we perceive our voices differently, but why do we dislike what we hear? We grow up getting used to all of our asymmetries as reflected in the mirror—parting our hair to the left, the little mole on our right cheek, that chip in our left incisor. Likewise, we live our lives hearing and perfecting our bone-conducted, but not air-conducted, voices.
Perhaps they over-analyze their performances. That cellphone feedback is driving me nuts! IE 11 is not supported.
Understand that you're creating your sound from vocal cords, your vocal folds, which are in your larynx voice box. Your cords are inside there. So imagine that you're looking inside there, and you can see your cords coming together. We want that larynx, that voice box, to stay stable, because that allows the air to come through so we can get a good sound.
With that idea of keeping your voice box nice and relaxed in mind, the next thing that will help a lot is being able to hear your notes nice and clearly. I call it developing your internal hearing. With well developed internal hearing you'll be able to hear the notes you are singing. This will help you to stay in tune more of the time.
And since one of the things that might make a singer hate their voice is the amateurish sound of singing out of tune A great tip for developing your internal hearing is to focus in the middle of your head, hearing exactly what you're doing. We're going to start with a simple lip trill. Put your hands at the sides of your mouth, pushing up a little bit. Start your lip trill, coming into it very easily.
You can see me demonstrate at The reason that I have you put your hands at the sides of your mouth is that I don't want you to go back in your throat.
It's easier if you push up with your hands. Think of it as taking the weight off, because you've been pushing so much. So think of taking the weight off, pushing up, and then bringing the sound down.
We're starting to break your old habit of thinking you've got to force all of this to get out. We'll do a lip trill, starting on a low note. We'll glide up an octave and half, and glide back down.
You'll see that I'm starting very easily. I'm not tightening up. If you made the statement that you don't like the sound of your voice, you've been pushing. So we need to reverse that.
