I try to stream my favorite games, and I will get small audiences because I do events in the online games. But whenever I try to edit or listen back I feel like I’m in pain.
Is it really annoying, or is it just that everyone hates their voice?

Voices sound lower and deeper when you speak since the source is so close to the receiver.
I think it sounds friendly and inviting. Good for a streamer.
It made me think of Atom and His Package
Once you mentioned Atom and His Package, I can’t unhear it.
I am downright amazed at what I cannl destroy with just a hammer.
Definitely not annoying at all. Certainly on the higher pitch side but it sounds good and I would listen to an audio book with this voice.
Not annoying in the slightest! Don’t yah worry. Also, hating your own voice will pass eventually the more you listen to its recordings.
Everyone perceives their voice as lower than others do because you’re hearing your voice travel through your skeleton to reach your ear rather than traveling through air. You’re not crazy and your voice is not annoying.
No.
It is high but not annoyingly. Don’t let it bother ya
Don’t worry. Everyone is annoyed by the sound of their own voice, because when we hear our own voice the vibration in our jaw and other bones and muscles actually causes the voice we hear to be deeper than the voice that other people hear.
Yours doesn’t sound unbearable, though it is high. However, its pitch has a lot to do with many factors, including genetics, where you were raised, your native language, whether you smoked or not, and others. Basically, the sound of your voice is uniquely yours. No need to feel self conscious or embarrassed about it.
You feel there is an issue with your voice, so what are you going to do about it?
Take vocal training lessons or speech therapy and do what you feel needs to be done to get where you want to be. There are videos and whatnot online that can also help if you can’t afford professional coaching.
The greatest hindrance to achieving your goals is yourself, kick your own ass to greatness.
You sound fine, everyone hates their own voice on recordings.
Your voice is fine, and I don’t think it’s annoying. At all.
Maybe “hate” is a strong word for it, but everyone’s voice sounds different to their ears than it does in their head. It has to do with resonance chamber something something
Your recorded voice actually sounds really similar to mine and I think it sounds fine. I think the main issue is probably just that you could have a better mic setup. A good sound setup makes a world of difference over even a decent one. Like I said, your voice isn’t bad at all but there’s a reason pros spend all sorts of money on expensive setups.
If your voice is something you’re uncomfortable with you can also train it on your own. Even people with naturally amazing voices often do vocal exercises of some sort.
Your inflection reminds of the guy from MinuteEarth in the “Weird Things Animals Do During Eclipses” video for example
I agree with most everyone else, you don’t sound annoying at all.
Most people I know, myself included, who have done recording work hate their voice. It doesn’t sound right to our ears. You just eventually get used to hearing it.
Also, just as a fair warning: If you notice you lean on a word or phrase, or that you have a certain speech pattern you want to change, completely work on it, but don’t let it consume you. When you get to that point that you’re constantly looking for it, it’s time to walk away, even just for a short time. I can promise you, it’s nowhere near as bad as you might think. It’s just easy to be overly critical of yourself, and that includes your projects.
