When you listen to your own voice while you are speaking or singing, you are not only hearing what is being projected; you are also hearing the internal resonances of your skull and, arguably, your entire body. You are also NOT hearing a lot of the frequency attenuation that results from projecting your voice through your nasal cavities. So you think you sound bassier and less nasal than others do, and you would both be right.

Add to that, then, the vagaries of various microphones and their patterns and proximity effects, preamps, a/d convertors, the medium, d/a convertors, the cables, the amp, the speakers, and the room, all which color the sound in one way or another, and it's easy to see why you sound "different" on a recording.

Acoustics will affect singing. The walls of the room you are singing in make a difference, if you record your voice it sounds different, many reasons. Also, you could be a Mezzo Soprano or an Alto, so that your voice sounds low when you sing but (it depends on how old you are) higher when you speak normally.
