I have often written in a voice that is not my authentic voice. At work and in academia there's a place for that. A manuscript you are not comfortable with is a sure sign that something is amiss. If you think it's your voice, you can try rewriting a bit with the filter turned off, the way you would in journal or something else intended for no one's eyes but your own. You can then compare the two and see which direction you want to take or if there's a hybrid approach that will work for you.
