The word “pitchy” gives American Idol a bad name among us singer types.

One of those inequalities in life. Many woman have this problem as public speakers. Its why women do not succeed on radio as easily as men. It can be overcome to some degree and the poster was only relating what many of us have noticed. If she simply kept her voice at a normal level when she is making an important point rather than go up in pitch, that would help. What is most unfortunate about having a high pitched voice is the average person with a hearing loss cannot hear it. Very common for a wife with a husband who has a loss to say “He hears his friends OK but not me”. She thinks he is ignoring her but he isn’t. He can’t hear her. He can hear a man’s voice.

She isn’t reaching the audience she could.
