Dave: Standing waves?
Roger: When a sound wave bounces back and forth for a while without losing much energy, which it can do between two square corners of a room, it ends up getting to your ear long after you first heard the sound. Sounds terrible, because it just confuses the ear. That makes most modern small rooms into terrible acoustic environments, and we do tense some muscles up habitually and to distort our natural voices, and some of our emotions along with that, just so we sound a little better despite the acoustics. Everybody who doesn't speak outside all the time has some of that sort of distortion in their voice, unfortunately, and it's one more thing you have to overcome as a singer in finding your natural voice.
