With our voices sounding different to us (I believe because of resonance through the bones and skull?), how does a singer know when they are on key compared to an external source?

The pitch of a sound is determined by the lowest harmonic (the fundamental frequency) and what it sounds like is determined by the higher harmonics.
The human body will make some harmonics louder and some harmonics quieter, changing the way it sounds while still preserving the fundamental pitch
Our brains listen to the fundamental to know what the pitch is
