I have noticed that for me female voices coming over television are generally obnoxious. The same female face to face is not bad. In addition, women on TV with voices in the lower registers are tolerable. I think womens voices are not handled well by the electronic medium.

I always listen to my wife, thirty years experience has shown me her wisdom. The "young things" have little to say-Fox News with their "info babes" is particularily guilty of the pretty face fallacy.

I've noticed the same thing - I thought it was a job requirement or something that they had to have fast shrill teeny-bopper voices to be a newsreader, but maybe it's the technology like you say.

Either way, I cringe when they talk.
