Hilarious! Voice actress Rachel Butera NAILS Blasey Ford's voice (Rush played this clip today)
youtube ^ | 10/1/18 | Rachel Butera

Posted on 10/02/2018 10:13:21 PM PDT by CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC

In a 60-sec clip posted online, the voice actress absolutely nailed Blasey-Ford's voice, (and risked never being hired by Hollywood again).

Youtube Post Notes: 'Star Wars Resistance' star, Rachel Butera, attacked on Twitter for daring to mimick the pathetic 'little girl' voice that Dr Ford employed to garner sympathy at the Kavanaugh hearing. Butera was subsequently forced to delete her Tweet and apologize.

"I sound like I'm back at that high school party.....I just have this kind of a voice, like a baby, even though I’m a doctor and I’m on this media circus, political stage, and I have kids myself, that I don’t know why I speak with vocal fry," Butera continued. "But you can listen to my testimony and hear that a grown woman sounds this way."

It was great, so good that the fascists are threatening her.

Dr Ford’s voice and halting, hesitant speech, childish glances seeking approval didn’t suit for a professional woman in her 50’s. (And by the way, did no one notice her dirty glasses to clean them for her?) They must have low standards for college profs in California, I mean who doesn’t know the meaning of the word exculpatory?

Definition of "Vocal Fry" from wiki page:

"The vocal fry register (also known as pulse register, laryngealization, pulse phonation, creak, croak, popcorning, glottal fry, glottal rattle, glottal scrape, or strohbass) is the lowest vocal register and is produced through a loose glottal closure that permits air to bubble through slowly with a popping or rattling sound of a very low frequency.

Yup, this just about describes Blasey-Ford's vocal performance: "... creak, croak, popcorning, glottal rattle, glottal scrape....".

Some have also noted the rising pitch at the end of each sentence, also called upspeak, uptalk, HRT(High Rising Terminal), first becoming popular with "Valley Girl Talk". It also adds to the perceived image of a helpless innocent little girl.

The clip was more effective over my car radio than on youtube with its accompanying video.

TIP: Don't watch the video while playing this clip, and in your mind's eye you can easily visualize Blasey-Ford as being one & the same as the mimicking voice you hear.

Someone should merge this mocking audio with a video clip of Blasey-Ford's testimony in a way that makes it hard to tell the two don't really go together.

She needn’t worry about the backlash. A couple of revelations tonight indicate Ms. Ford and her handlers are just about done.

They only have one critical standard that must be adhered to. The professor must be a leftist moonbat kook.

The vocal fry makes me absolutely crazy. Combined baby voice, it gives away a wholly phony personality.

All of the Mitchell/Ford clips played back to back.

Trying to see other landmines Mitchell may have laid out in this questioning. Tough to sit through Ford. The up-question-like end of sentences and vocal fry.

Here's another good clip, where an analyst does a voice-over that notes how Blasey-Ford's body language indicates deception over & over again. Long but highly instructive --- 26 min:

Body Language: Brett Kavanaugh Hearing Christine Blasey Ford

Great comments below the video as well. Here's just one of them:

"I've been a bartender for 20+ years, and it's funny how I've learned the power of body language without even consciously realizing it. I watched this hearing as well, and found her overall demeanor to be that of emotional manipulation. While it's noticeable in men (usually those with aggressive tendencies), I see it primarily in women. Especially in those who are "drama queens" who have very low self-esteem, and who try to dominate the attention of the room. They always instigate the drama, and then try to garner sympathy through these sort of tactics by playing the victim after the fact... It's seriously disturbing behavior..."

I know a few far left women who suddenly revert to the child voice and mentality we saw with Dr. Ford when in trouble and try to use it to manipulate others around them. Every time I have seen it happen they knew that others knew they were lying and had proof so they reverted to a child to try to make others feel guilty of punishing them.

If it worked suddenly they were all perky and full of smiles a few seconds after being on the edge of a mental breakdown. When it didn’t work they went from smiles to silence all of a sudden. I see a pattern with the way Ford has acted.

I heard that bit on Rush’s show today, but had no idea whether it was a parody, or the real thing.

Whatever it was, it was absolutely unlistenable.

I mean, I’ve heard vocal fry and uptalk before, but that was just excruciating.

Yep. Passive aggressive control freaks, using what worked for them from age 4. Good reminder to not let my daughter control her older brothers with victim mentality. (And if she gets groped, I hope she pushes him the hell sway, gets pissed at him, and after a week pretty much forgets about the shmuck. What is the point to remaining traumatized?)

Very interesting. I dated a professor around the time of 9/11. She would do the little girly voice routine in the sack or when she was telling me I was her only love. She was 50. I later found out she was getting shafted by other blokes whilst pretending to me my one and only. Looking back now, I can see why I slept with one eye open. A real nutcase. Crazy Blasey kind of gives me the same shudder.

Fords baby voice was such feigned bullshit

Why didn’t they bring her out in pigtails with David Cassidy posters and Donny Osmond singing Go Away Little Girl

It was ridiculous

She’s a damned moonbat

All these women are

Let’s be totally candid

Crazy women love sex ...they are wild...they will do anything and make you think they really love you and you’re so special....their best lover ever

Then they turn on you....like Borderline Personality Disorder thingie and her head starts spinning

But that first part when they fireworks are blasting and all she wants to do is play Buck Cherry Crazy B!tch and bang all night it’s great

But when that fades pack he bags

Young guys you’ve been warned by an old man who’s known a few ....

I’m sure women have similar men stories

Acts like he loves them and they are Monica Belluci to him looks wise and then when he’s bored he leaves and you thought he was the one

It’s ruff out there

Nowadays young people just get right to it and then date later

I don’t know if I’d like that much

“...did no one notice her dirty glasses to clean them for her?”

I noticed that see had to look over the top of those huge glasses a couple of times...like you would do with reading glasses. I concluded that they weren’t her normal glasses, but she thought the big frames would make her look more childlike and vulnerable.

I also wondered if they were real glasses - I.e. the lenses did any thing or were flat.
