That might be why she's having such impact with the written word.
One of the things I wish Sarah would spend time doing right now, is working with a voice coach, as funny as that sounds.
Even though she usually is spot on with her words, her delivery is so fast (especially when she is passionate about something!) and her voice range is so high, she sounds like a teenager. I say this as a fan of hers, not as a criticism. This is a small part of why the press has been able to get away with marginalizing her as not someone to be taken seriously.
Look at the Idiot in Chief...99% of the time he’s WRONG on the facts, WRONG on the history, yet he “sounds good” so people think he knows what he’s talking about!
This was pointed out to me by my formerly left wing nutjob sweetie who is now solidly in OUR camp. But his honesty in appraising her as a candidate is helpful, I think.
That might be why she's having such impact with the written word.
I think you mean by her habit in talking very quickly on tv. I think thats probably new. Her experience with the media recently has mentally handicap her a bit, I think. Its constantly at the back of her mind that the interviewer is out to get out and she want her point out as quickly as possible before getting interrupted or edited out. If you watch her previous interviews on tv and debate in Alaska. It was ALOT better
I agree with you on this score. She needs to learn to modulate a bit. Right on message, but the voice should compliment the message not be a distraction to it.
Hillary had the worst voice I've ever heard in politics outside of congressman Anthony Weiner or Chuck Schumer, both are the winiest people.
Palin’s sound is genuine. People can tell in the inflection and tone in her voice that she means what she says. That is a large part of her appeal.
Walk in to your local cell phone store, and you will find three or four “Obama Sounding” sales people who will have you signing a three year contract before you know it. We don’t need Sarah to sound like the guy/gal at the cell phone store.
I am gonna agree with you there.
Sadly, we live in a society where the voice and the tone of what one says, carries as much weight with the general public, as the substance of what one is saying. So yeah, her voice and her delivery, are some of the things she should work on, to give her voice some more gravitas and authority.
You share some valid points. Sarah is absolutely on target but needs to be able to “sell it” to the masses-—especially those who would never bother to read what she has said. Working on voice range can only help given that when most people want to mock what a woman is saying, they use a high pitched voice. She has the style, the class, the guts, and the message. Polishing up the delivery will make her unbeatable.
