It’s unfamiliar, that’s all. Normally, you don’t hear what your voice really sounds like. You hear a distorted version because your mouth and your ears are connected to the same body. When you get used to the distorted version, you begin to consider it normal. When you hear the real one for the first time, it sounds unfamiliar.

Exactly, everyone feels like they sound weird. Except me, I do just sound weird.

That's it. I've watched my own videos dozens of times by now and it's not weird anymore. But I distinctly remember that feeling OP's talking about frim the first few video's I had to watch.

I wonder if your brain then starts to align how you hear your own voice and how you hear it when it's recorded. If it starts to sound more the same for you. Would also be really weird if you for a long period only heard recordings of you speaking, and when you start speak again, you get equally, or probably more, freaked out by your own voice, as when your hear it recorded.

Would we still find it weird if we didn't know that is our own voice that is being played? Like if somebody plays a recording of me from last week where I said something general that everybody could have said?
