Answer 2

When you hear your own voice, you are hearing it through the air and the bones of your skull (as the sound travels to your middle ear), as opposed to others, who hear your voice in only air. Thus, your voice sounds differently to you than to others. A recording more accurately reflects the voice that other people hear from you.
