not really with looks, no.  but if i ever watch videos or listen to messages i've left for people, my voice sounds totally different than i hear it.  like it doesn't even sound like "me" to me.  it's really quite odd...

That's because you are hearing the vibrations of your voice box from inside your head, where as other people are hearing it from out of your mouth. What you hear on an answering machine is what you sound like to the rest of the world, only you hear yourself differently.

I've never experienced that, but a friend of mine uploaded a video of me on Facebook and it is weird watching myself.

It's not really you.  You're not the person you were when it was made. Entropy has seen to that. It's a stranger. A perfect, unknown stranger, and you should fear him. Just like you should fear the man in the mirror.
 
You're also not your fucking khakis. Goes without saying, really.

I used to be a lead singer in a rock band. Then I started using "My Japanese Coach" and after hearing myself sing, I've stopped.

Yea after shaving or cutting your hair you look like a different person but the main thing is hearing my voice outside my head its really really weird.

Sometimes when I make faces in the mirror, I notice how much I truly look like my oldest brother. It's pretty crazy. I don't look much like him with a normal face, but with some contorting of the face the resemblance is uncanny.
 
That's the only time I get surprised.

Kinda the same here, I always get bored with my facial hair and crave into something different every 2 weeks or so.

I look fine when I look in the mirror, but when I take a picture I look like I'm 9.

I heard this before and find it really interesting, I sound fine from me hearing myself speak but if I hear something recorded I sound like a fuck head but I think it's just because I'm not used to it.

I don't look at myself ever, so I wouldn't know the answer to that.
