I've heard that the phone/answering machine removes the highest and lowest frequencies of your voice, which would explain why I sound about, say, two years old.
So, no, that's not how you really sound.
Also, what you see in the mirror is not really what people see when they look at you. (You've seen what mirrors do to letters.) If you go to places like the Exploratorium in San Francisco, they have experiments that will show you what you really look like. (I haven't seen the one at the Exploratorium.)
Hope this helps. Hope I haven't made you worry now about how you look AND sound. :)
Best Wishes!

My voice is so airy, it sounds quite high on recordings. My husband has told me how very different I sound on an answering machine, and I have heard it before too, and it's pretty bad.

Your own voice sounds different to you because you hear it mainly through the vibrations of your own jaw bone and skull. What you hear on the recording is how other people hear your voice.

My voice sounds nothing like me when my voice has been recorded.

it all depends upon the quality of the recording. yes, we do sound much different to other people than what we do in our heads...

Yea, and I sound like I sucked helium while getting high, and I'm thinking God, I hope I don't really sound like that. Because it's annoying!!

this is what i learned from one of the vocalists in one of my past bands: when you hear yourself speaking as you are speaking, you are hearing yourself through the air (as others do) AND through the bones and organs in your face. when you hear yourself on a recording, you hear yourself as others hear you.
