my voice changes on the phone/mike?

[Phil]

wel...i sing prety okay
many of my friends admitted it and some even suggested that i goto american idol..lol
well, the problem is, my voice changes when im on a phone/mike
my person-to-person voice is kind of medium-ish toned, kinda in the middle of Tom Chaplin from Keane and Cove Reber from Saosin

but when im on-line, my voice becomes really deep and cracky

i know i cant do much about it, but i just want to know why.
anyone have any ideas?

thanks!

That is not unusual, we all have that problem, sorry.

The voice you hear when talking or singing, is made up by the sound vibrations resonating in your bone structure, and only have to travel a few inches at best before you hear it. It has not developed its true resonance that is heard when the sound come from your mouth. It's kind of like ringing a bell with your hand around the bell. You feel it, and hear some of it but it is not until the bell can get the full resonance that it can make a pretty sound. The same is true to your voice.

The only way to get to understand and even like your true voice is to listen to recordings of it. I record every practice, and use the those recordings to fix problems and improve. Even after 9 years of doing this, I still have to get over the fact I sound weird when listening.

what u hear as u hear urself is not the actual sound everybody hears you. if u get a recording of ur voice then that is what ur real voice sounds like. as for the diff. between the mic and online thing, i have no idea

What you think your voice sounds, isn't what it is.

It's actually much more different than you think.

Trust me... the first three times I heard on the mic (and it was on live performances) I nearly ruined my part. xD Good times... Good times...

I call into the radio alot and I sound like a little kid. But my friends still know it's me when they hear me. I've tried to talk deeper when I call in, helps a little. Maybe when your online, try talking in a different voice. Change it around until you sound like you want to. Might help. Worse case scenerio, talk in a cartoon voice and just have fun with it! Good luck.
