At the union podium, the First Lady was firmly "on-message," bludgeoning the Republican party with class size. Hers is a low voice, a "chest" voice, as they would say in music, with no "head" in it. She speaks in something of a monotone, with a slight midwestern honk. One of her favorite verbal techniques is "You know, ," at the beginning of a sentence, sometimes pronounced "Ya know" or "Y'know." It is her little launching pad, as in, "You know, the Republicans tried their best to block money for class size." Her lingo is decidedly up-to-date. She uses "reference" as a verb-"those studies that Randi referenced." The language she employs, somehow, reflects the positions she espouses. If you can sound like a left-liberal, quite apart from the opinions you convey, Mrs. Clinton does.
