If you don't have the hardware (mic,mixer,etc) that allows you to hear yourself, (playback), it's always good to have software that does it for you. If not, a trick I've done many times in the past is taking one earphone off (when recording) and plugging my open ear. It allows me to hear myself better. I also do this during live performances if I feel my voice is deviating a bit.

like is this then the sound which others

Your voice sounds different to others than it does to you
What you're hearing is what you truly sound like to others.
That's a fact that most newer singers need to get over
Hearing themselves in a recording

What you're hearing is what you *truly* sound like to others.
like with the one ear method is this the sound others

The 'one ear' method is one I use to keep my voice focused on what I'm singing when I have multiple things going on in my headphones at once (music)
The issue you seem to be dealing with is a mental one
Your voice will sound different when you record it versus when you hear it come from your mouth.

so the one ear method is also the same sound that only i hear
what if i combine both methods
one ear unplugged and without tune mirror myself all the time

If you're going to practice
I suggest using an instrumental
Don't use a recorded version with vocals attached
It'll give you a false sense of what you're currently capable of and are actually singing.
Put one headphone in, and take one out
Listen to yourself while you sing to the instrumental.
If you have a playback device that allows you to hear yourself in real time
Use that instead
Live feedback is always better
fiery estuary
Use that instead
yes i have that
ok ill try that
but can i also do the trach with vocals sometimes

Hearing a specific version can give you inspiration and help you develop a specific style of voice
But using it as the main source of understanding your voice is most likely a bad idea when developing your authentic voice
Since those version and make you sound or change your voice to said version.
Example: Singing Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah vs Jacob Collier's Version
Try to find an instrumental you like
And sing from that.
