Simultaneous playback

[Martine A.]

This is one thing I intend to use hopefully until I mastered my voice.

The idea is not to first record your voice and then listen, but to play it back as you speak.

I am a lazy girl, will use mobile telephony subscription that is flat rate for any amount of local calls.

My mobile phone will be away (or just muffled) and I will listen to the call with headphones.
Then all I need is to talk in the home phone to hear what is it like. The lag will help distinguish hearing your own talking from hearing yourself in headphones. Just focus on hearing and acting on the latter.

It worked already and I was amazed how horrible my voice still is. It obviously captures flaws. Shall work on it. Great advantage of this approach over first-record-then-play is that it allows you to experiment and adapt much more quickly.

Wanted to let other souls know, who might make use of this method.

Just realized why my voice sounds so horrible in the above setup. There is kind of Chorus effect involved, don-t-ask. With it gone, it is better. But the phones can't be used in the way described.

I said I was a lazy girl, a way to hear myself is to talk to my palm. It reflects sound that comes out of my mouth and I can hear better what I am saying.

Will use that for the time being.

Phones do not reproduce the whole spectrum of sound. I find that my voice sounds lower on a phone than it actually is.

Phones do clip the frequency range, but normal transmission should do it right to recognize male vs female voice most of the time.

This is really some chorus effect, likely caused by two phones listening to the same source. The voice doesn't even sound human, so can forget about it.

Talking to my palm.
