AI Thread Summary
Many individuals experience a dissonance between their perceived voice while speaking and the actual recorded voice. This discrepancy often manifests as a difference in tone, where speakers intend to convey a congenial and moderately pitched tone but instead hear a low-pitched, monotone, or even slightly angry voice upon playback. This phenomenon is noted to occur not only in recordings but also during phone conversations, where the speaker's voice sounds different in their ear. Interestingly, as conversations progress, some find that their perception aligns more closely with the actual tone of their voice.

Another thread regarding "voice"

How many of you find the apparent perception of your voice while you're speaking and the actual voice to be dissonant? That is, you have the intentions and the perception of speaking in a cogenial and moderately pitched tone (as the words are leaving), while hearing a recording of it suggests a significantly different tone (low pitched, monotone, slight anger)?

I usually hear a difference whenever I play back a recording of myself, yes. When I'm talking on the phone and have my own voice directed into my ear it also often sounds like the tone is different than the one I intended. The longer the conversation the more I seem to be able to get them in synch, though.

This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
