What does it take to tune an audio recording of one's own voice and match it to the way we hear ourselves?

Is anyone aware of techniques or research on this?

I've found in my experience that over the years my internal voice updated to match how I sound when recorded. So when I hear myself speaking on a recording it's much less jarring now since it feels much more like how I predicted it would sound.

I know this doesn't help your current situation but it's a fun fact I recognized since you mentioned it.

Yup same, after a bunch of podcasting I don't hear any meaningful difference between my voice in my head and in a recording.

Which means that modifying a recording to match what you hear really can't be boiled down to a series of steps, because it's highly subjective and probably not consistent.

As a singer who has recorded myself not only singing, but also talking for thousands of collective hours of recording time, this is my experience as well. I can't even hear the difference anymore, and I haven't been able to since probably hour 10.
