Okay, I know I'm going to get reprimanded out here by many of you, but does anyone else notice that Sarah Palin's voice is just way too pitchy and high? I enjoy her speeches and such, but sometimes she screeches so high that it drowns out her message, and, in my opinion, she should tone down her voice/vocal levels just a bit.
When she does sit-down interviews, she's much better, although the high-pitch comes and goes there too. I was prepping dinner last night with FNC on, and they showed her at the McCain event. Her voice was so loud and unleveled that I almost cut my pinky finger with my Ginsu knife while cutting a tomato... I got a chill going up my shoulders. It's strange...
Can a voice coach help her through this?
I don’t like to give too many mulligans away but it was awful windy in Searchlight and the sound system/microphone was not the best. I think Sarah was straining at times. She is a professional speaker but when you have inferior equipment + bad weather conditions you will not come across at your best.
Having said that I thought it was a great stump speech and appropriate for the occasion.
It’s much easier for me to accept imperfections in her voice than her pimping for McCain.
Well then you must think Romney and Scott Brown are in the same category as well.
Her voice is irritating - more so her inflection I think - not the sound of her actual voice.
I think they must speak like this in Alaska.
Maybe if I hear more Alaskans speak it won’t sound so strange.
Could be worse.
That would be affirmative. The difference is that they are not conservatives.
She could speak like a choir of angels and still she wouldn’t be good enough for some people.
Lets pick on Obama’s annoying delivery. You know the guy that is such a “wonderful” speaker? /s
I love Sara and hope she runs, but I have mentioned to my husband before that I wish her voice was not so shrill when she speaks.....you can’t help your voice but maybe a voice coach would help
more breath control than a voice coach, necessarily - i used to teach aerobics and it was essential to projecting volume without screeching, & after a tracheotomy had to learn breath control to be able to speak again. respiratory therapy would help her a lot.
how do we get the message to her?
100% true. If the sound system is bad, especially outdoors, one tends to change the pitch of voice to accommodate.
My gut feeling has always been that Sarah needs voice coaching. This is not the days of Abe Lincoln or FDR where unusual voices do well in politics.
I don’t want her sanitzed but there is a reason certain voices are hired for newscasts and such. Attractive people with nice voices are simply more likely to be popular.
Her voice is too high pitched (lower tones denote strength and authority - especially important with a woman) and she should definitely speak a touch slower.
I’m betting on Thailand.
Compared to Barney Frank, she is linguistically perfect.
Just an opinion.
See, that's the strange part to me. Surly her advisers, and those close to her have noticed the same thing, and if not, it certainly has not been a secret among her critics. I don't know, maybe someone is advising her and it's just not noticeable yet.
maybe a link to this thread on her facebook page?
Listen up here, little Missy. This thread is a load of CRAAAAP! Me and the Sarahbots on FR won't stand for this criticism. Get your Ginsu and be ready! Here it comes! If you want off my ping list get over it!
She is a fighter for what is right. We need to speak up and not sit down everytime some liberial says to!!!!
Go Sarah!!!
Thanks for the Ping

A Friend of mine and FReeper was at Searchlight to hear Sarah.
There were 4 helicopters overhead and Sarah had to yell over the noise of the choppers along with mike problems.
snicker.......
