I’ve noticed that too, especially when she doesn’t have a good sound system in place and she’s straining to be heard. I think that all women have this problem to some extent. A vocal coach would probably do wonders.
On her worst day she can’t come close to the screeching of Hillary Clinton.
Her voice is “pitchy”? What is this American Idol?
Posts like this give vanities a bad name.
My brother, an award-winning film and TV producer/director — has been making the same point for two years. Sarah needs help on this. I hope she is willing to get it. Everything else about her, by the way, is perfect.
Ditto. Needs to growl more.
I think the unique voice could be a part of her schtick. It may make her more distinct.
I have said several times in the past that she needs a voice coach.
The overall effect is not harmonious, though in truth it is nearly as grating as that of Hillary Clinton, who on occasion sounds as though she is reporting an air-raid drill or a five-alarm warehouse blaze.
She isn’t a singer. She is someone from a part of the country where that is the way they speak. Get a grip and find something useful to worry about
she admittedly sounds shrill.....women have it tough, but she can improve, I am sure of it. after all, WHAT she is saying is so perfect.
And of course you can always sooth yourself with the dulcet tones of the One because voice quality is ALL that’s important
I am a vocal coach, a conservative, a Sarah fan, and you are correct.
I could help her. It has to do with vocal “placement”, and takes YEARS or training.
But she has more important things to worry about!LOL!
So the fact that Mrs Thatcher took positive steps to lower the pitch of her voice was a perfectly rational response to a real problem. Under the guidance of the National Theatre, she underwent training that included humming exercises aimed at lowering her previously natural pitch. Comparing recordings of speeches she made before and after tuition reveals a clearly audible difference. When played through a pitch and intensity analyser, the reduction in pitch came out at 46 Hz – a figure that’s almost half the average difference in pitch between male and female voices.
This significant decrease was all the more remarkable because it was achieved after Mrs Thatcher had already passed the age at which the pitch of women's voices tends naturally to rise: generally speaking, it falls up to the age of about forty-five, after which the it gradually starts to rise.

The tone of her voice is definitely something the 'Rats and their media allies will use against her. She needs a voice coach to help her tone down that occasional screech: it will show her to be a serious player and not some cartoonish bumpkin that the Left always portrays.
she knows what she sounds like and will work to improve
the event in searchlight had a poor pa system and she had to scream
as long as she is saying the right stuff who cares
I really like Sarah’s natural voice (and I find her accent to be cute). There are not many people, male or female, who sound good yelling at rallies. Women have it especially tougher.
But she sounds great when she gives a speech. Not too shrill at all. Her RNC speech was pitch perfect. Loved it.
My husband says this is the only thing wrong with her & my musician son says the sound systems could be adjusted to help a bit. When we saw her in Cape we didn’t notice it at all! At any rate, I agree it’s probably a problem for many women but the message is crystal clear.
True—but I’d take her squeak over Mitt’s pipes anytime.
