Interesting. I've always hated the sound of my voice, until very recent years. I still hate it unless I have e.q., effects and processing applied. I sound terrible singing in a room with no mic, but have become at least decent on stage. Maybe it has to do with the processing putting back some of that bone vibrating. Hey, maybe I'll tell my wife about that bone vibrating theory. (Sorry, the dirty old man syndrome keeps popping up). Popping up probably isn't good choice of words either. Somebody stop me.
Lately I find I am pretty drastically reducing the amount of reverb and delay I use on vocals, getting a somewhat cleaner sound. My equipment is automatically introducing compression, limiting, gate, voice optimization, etc. and perhaps this is making it sound better, and reduces the temptation to cover things up with reverb and extreme e.q.
This is a subject that REALLY interests me, as I sing almost every song, four hours every night.
I do record myself every night and am a consummate tweaker. Some say croaker, but ... you can't please 'em all.
Unlike Gary, who as he says was evidently born with a great voice, I've had to really work at it. Still am.
