I dare say she has gotten worse. Her folksy accent did not bother me in 08 or since, and I was fired up when seeing her live outside back then.
Her voice has gotten shaky and breaky. If it’s menopause I’d advise her to take bioidential hormones, maybe it would settle down. And I would ask her to definitely work with a vocal coach to not press so hard on the cords just because she wants to show emphasis and passion. There are ways to strengthen muscles and make your voice influential but strong. She needs to not squeak into the higher notes. She could kill a string of huskies.
This from someone who saw Sarah (indoors) with Breitbart, just her talking in a straight voice, and came to the conclusion that she is the real deal. I really have liked her, though was angry that she didn’t run in 2012.
She just needs a little focus and work.
