A new study by Albright College finds women can more easily make their voices sound attractive.

According to a new study by Albright college, men are incapable of intentionally making their voices sound sexy. 20 women and 20 men tried to make their voices sound sexy.

Another 40 people judged whether they achieved that goal. And found that the women easily outperformed the men. Why is it so difficult for men?

I mean, even a cartoon, Jessica rabbit, can do it. Researchers know, that to men, an attractive voice is often linked to physical appeal. While men learn that what attracts women is confidence.

[Salamander]

Oh, yeah.

There were overtones or nuances just in the way Serling pronounced “zone” that nobody else has ever imitated.

Something subliminally irresistible to those who hear, like a dog whistle.

There’s siren songs but that’s for guys.

I don’t think we have an analogous term.

Yep goes to the old saying “Men fall in love with their eyes, women fall in love with their ears”

That was a fun movie. It was “The Skin Game” with special effects.

[Oratam]

Wasn’t that Robert Mitchum?

[To Hell With Poverty]

Not a ping?

In the Brady Bunch movie where Gregg and Marcia are sharing the same bedroom with only a light piece of cloth separating them, Marcia sees Gregg undressing and her voice immediately drops two octaves, Gregg jumps and stares at her, she then returns to her normal voice. I will say that actress definitely knows what sexy is.

I had to go find the youtube of that scene

Korean actor Kim Myung-min's voice is the one that ladies swoon over.

A video of him receiving an acting award a few years ago. (In Korean of course, not subtitled) LOL'd at the cat calls.
