On recordings, the voice sounds so weird and different because we hear them in two ways: via the air and through the bones in our skulls.
Hence, air conduction sends sound waves to the eardrums, whereas bone conduction transfers sound waves to the inner ear via bones.
Your voice vibrates in your skull, producing sound waves that travel through your bones to your inner ear, increasing its richness and depth.
Recording voice with a microphone only catches air-travelling sound waves, excluding bone-conducted sound waves, resulting in a distinct sound quality
Positioning of voice recording microphone impacts its sound quality, as inexpensive or poorly-made microphones may not capture all frequencies.
