I try to stream my favorite games, and I will get small audiences because I do events in the online games. But whenever I try to edit or listen back I feel like I’m in pain.

Is it really annoying, or is it just that everyone hates their voice?

    Sounds fine to me.

    I also dislike listening to my own voice, so you’re not alone in that :)

    Your voice is fine, and I don’t think it’s annoying. At all.

    Maybe “hate” is a strong word for it, but everyone’s voice sounds different to their ears than it does in their head. It has to do with resonance chamber something something

    Your voice is higher than a lot of people but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. It’s certainly not annoying to me.

    A bit high but nothing that would turn me off. I watch a lot of catalystz and Bawkbasoup. Both have relatively high voices so I might already be used to it.

    Edit: As others already pointed out. Everyone is annoyed by their own voice. So don’t worry. What I’m trying to say is, even streamers with higher voices can achieve greatness.

    I agree with most everyone else, you don’t sound annoying at all.

    Don’t worry. Everyone is annoyed by the sound of their own voice, because when we hear our own voice the vibration in our jaw and other bones and muscles actually causes the voice we hear to be deeper than the voice that other people hear.

    Yours doesn’t sound unbearable, though it is high. However, its pitch has a lot to do with many factors, including genetics, where you were raised, your native language, whether you smoked or not, and others. Basically, the sound of your voice is uniquely yours. No need to feel self conscious or embarrassed about it.

    It’s high but not annoying. The more you hear your own voice, the more used to it you will get. Your voice wouldn’t stop me from watching your streams.

    You feel there is an issue with your voice, so what are you going to do about it?

    Take vocal training lessons or speech therapy and do what you feel needs to be done to get where you want to be. There are videos and whatnot online that can also help if you can’t afford professional coaching.

    The greatest hindrance to achieving your goals is yourself, kick your own ass to greatness.

    Most people I know, myself included, who have done recording work hate their voice. It doesn’t sound right to our ears. You just eventually get used to hearing it.

    Also, just as a fair warning: If you notice you lean on a word or phrase, or that you have a certain speech pattern you want to change, completely work on it, but don’t let it consume you. When you get to that point that you’re constantly looking for it, it’s time to walk away, even just for a short time. I can promise you, it’s nowhere near as bad as you might think. It’s just easy to be overly critical of yourself, and that includes your projects.

    Your inflection reminds of the guy from MinuteEarth in the “Weird Things Animals Do During Eclipses” video for example

    Your recorded voice actually sounds really similar to mine and I think it sounds fine. I think the main issue is probably just that you could have a better mic setup. A good sound setup makes a world of difference over even a decent one. Like I said, your voice isn’t bad at all but there’s a reason pros spend all sorts of money on expensive setups.

    If your voice is something you’re uncomfortable with you can also train it on your own. Even people with naturally amazing voices often do vocal exercises of some sort.

    Your voice is fine. And it’s not annoying to listen to you. I’d listen to you narrate a youtube video or something like that.
