Whenever you sing in the shower, it sounds really good. But whenever you record yourself singing the sound is horrific. Why is that?

The acoustics of a shower give you more reverberation (since you have at least five hard surfaces surrounding you), which bounces the sound around more. This adds some echo that blends the sound together so that the ugly parts are covered up.

And if you're wondering about the car, usually you sound better there because you're singing along with someone, which (1) gives you a guide so that you stay on key more easily, and (2) gives you another voice so that the ugly parts are, once again, covered up.

Answer 2

Its a proven fact that people sing better when naked, the fibres on our clothing absorb too much of the soundwaves, distorting our voice.

I defy anyone to prove me wrong by testing my theory.
