Are we talking recordings or the voice "you" hear?

I can't stand my voice when it is recorded  D: x_x

I hate my voice too. On top of that, I tend to slur my speech. The way I overcome this is I just never listen to recordings of myself lol.  B)

By default you will hate your voice,
surprisingly, its natural to do so!
I'm exactly the same

You could go to speech therapy, but then your voice is what identifies you as you when communicating with others. It's as unique to you as your fingerprints and I just see that as a very beautiful thing.

What is it exactly that you don't like about your voice, if I may ask?
It's hard to help or give specific advice otherwise.


Though, should it indeed be because you have heard your voice (through audio/video recordings and the like), then I will tell you: It does sound completely different than how you yourself hear it. It's because your ears (and biological terms to be inserted here...) are close to your vocal chords. You'll indeed hear it differently than someone else.
I too don't  like to hear my own voice, and it is indeed not uncommon for people to dislike their own voice. mostly because I think it's something you're not used to. Others are, they've been hearing your voice like so all the time. It doesn't sound weird or strange to them. But you've heard it since birth completely different than others. You've grown accustomed to it, gotten used to it.
And then you hear it sounds nothing like you thought it was sounding. It can be a strange, and unpleasant experience.

If this is just simply the case, and not some speech disorder, it's something you would have to 'live with'. Some people deal with it, as mentioned in a previous comment, by not listening to any recordings of themselves.
I however simply just don't (try to) pay attention to it. If I do hear it, it'll still sound weird, but I've accepted that's how it sounds like to others, and I hear it differently.

Hope this helped in some way.

^Not all of us.

Anyway, it's perfectly natural not to like your own voice; it's actually what makes you talk correctly, because any time you're hearing your own voice, you're subconsciously making corrections. When you can't make corrections, like in a recording, it'll just drive you crazy for no reason. XD A kind of interesting side effect is if you play someone's voice back to them AS they're talking, it makes it almost impossible for them to talk.

I just remembered something funny that probably scarred me for life haha...

When i was little, i was hanging with my grandma, and when i was talking she goes to my dad like "what's wrong with his voice? Is he sick?" And my dad responds with "no, that's just his voice."

THANKS FAM!!!
