Cover your ears and say something. Your voice will sound the same, by bone-conduction.

In my major, we call bone a low-pass filter. It can only reverberate so quickly, so higher frequencies are not transmitted.
Yeah it sounds much deeper in my head, but my recorded voice isn't the same as what others hear either, apparently. I have a 'mixed' voice that is highs and lows, and some of the lower frequencies don't get picked up by regular recorders. Makes me sound 10.
