Imagine you're talking to a friend, they hear your voice as it is, directly from your mouth. But when you record yourself, the microphone hears your voice through the air and also catches the sound of your own voice vibrating in your head, which makes it sound different. It's like listening to a radio in a room, you can hear the music clearly, but if you put your ear close to the speaker, it sounds muffled.
Examples
- Your friend hears your voice as it comes out of your mouth.
- You record your voice, but it sounds more muffled because it also vibrates in your head.
- It’s like listening to a radio, the sound is clear when you’re far away, but muffled up close.
