Thunder, sirens and how fast sound travels, sentence 13
Your recorded voice sounds strange to you, though it is how others hear you, because you normally hear your voice partly through the bones of your head, which makes it sound deeper.
Who acts: recorded voice, voice, you · What happens: record, sound, be, hear, make · To what, where: you, voice, bones
