So, is this my real voice?

I'm starting a band with a friend of mine and I heard my voice on a recording recently, and it doesn't sound like how I hear it in my head. I looked around on the internet and I found out why it sounds different, but then another question came up in my head. Is the voice in my head my real voice or is it my real voice on the recording?

Your voice would be the sound produced when you speak, meaning it would be as other people, and the recording, interpret it.
# the distinctive quality or pitch or condition of a person's speech; "A shrill voice sounded behind us"
# the sound made by the vibration of vocal folds modified by the resonance of the vocal tract; "a singer takes good care of his voice"; "the giraffe cannot make any vocalizations"
etc.
Case closed. There isn't some deep discussion to be had here. Your speaking voice is the sound produced, not how it sounds in your head. You're just trying to make a philosophical discussion out of it because "real" can't be defined in the context you used it. There is no need for this topic.
