Listen
Years back, I've been told that I sound differently over the phone. Having been told that, I have never verified it myself as I can't very well put two phones over both my ears and make a call. Never thought of leaving a message on a friend's voice mail and then listening to it. This thought resurfaced recently when I made a video recording with my digital camera and it captured my speech. My reaction was:
Do I *REALLY* sound like that?!
I sound different in my head. Outside, it's kinda....... umm.... nasal?! Having your voice distorted over copper wires is one thing, but to sound differently to what I myself hear is .... I dunno, a bit freaky. It's not like I like to listen to the sound of my own voice, but I imagine that I sound cooler than that. But then, my friend verifies it.
"That *IS* your voice"
Oh well. At least I don't sound like the BM voice over guys for Doraemon. On the other hand, I've been told that I look like Sunio. But that's another story.

Thanks! I'll take any compliment, any day, teasing or otherwise. You hopped over from?
@Paul:
Sounding too nasal carries the risk of being recognized as Fran Drescher from "The Nanny".
@LazyF:
Goodness. You actually did that?! Recordings for posterity. You sound fine. A bit selamba though.
But you sound sexy over the phone lah :P
