Ever cringed listening to your own voice in a recording? You’re definitely not alone.
Here’s why it happens: When you speak, you hear your voice through bone conduction. Sound waves travel through the bones in your skull, naturally boosting lower, deeper frequencies.
But a microphone? It only captures the sound waves traveling through the air. That means the voice playing back on video is actually what everyone else hears every day!
If hearing your own voice feels weird, imagine what happens when a brand video uses the wrong microphone. Bad audio setup can make even the most confident presenter sound thin, hollow, or distant.
At Hummingbird Media Productions, we use specialized mic placements and audio mastering so your voice sounds rich, natural, and authoritative—never like you’re talking into a tin can!
