How your voice sounds in your head compared with how it actually sounds?

[Echobelly]

My voice sounds quite deep and 'cultured/well spoken' in my head. Unfortunately having to transcribe a discussion I recorded the other day I was reminded I actually sound really droney and nasal and like the voice of someone playing a low-ranking pedantic jobsworth in a sitcom.

I have a meeting tomorrow where I have to present some stuff so, following listening to the recording, I have written all over my notes to vary my cadence and tone - I'm sure... or I hope... I am more varied in normal conversation but I think I can get very monotone when checking notes.

I didn't think my Yorkshire accent was very strong, but then I heard myself. I'm a squeaky version of Keith Lemon (Dewsbury accent).

In my head I always thought I sounded well spoken and nice. In reality I sound like a gormless idiot

@Laiste

In my head i have a bland mid counties 'no real accent' sort of voice.

Reality?
