I watched Sarah at the Values Voters Summit. Unfortunately, she does have a high and squeaky voice. Her enunciation and timing could stand improvement, but how do you fix her voice?
I really hate to even talk about superficial stuff like this but it is a consideration we cannot afford to overlook. A commanding and authoritative voice is what is needed to put the press and snippy moderators in their place.
Well I think you’re allowing your preference for Cruz to get in the way.
I’m all for him, but please you really don’t need to criticize Palin.
That’s just ... well I don’t think it is what we should be doing.
Keep things positive, about a few candidates. We have a few who are uniquely qualified.
Voice can often be taught. Radio personalities and announcers often receive professional training in voice and it does not take that long. Don’t apologize for talking about her voice. You are right to observe that these things can make a difference. Remember the efforts of Professor Henry Higgins with Liza the Cockney Flower Girl in My Fair Lady? It IS doable.
Newton Gingrich did a good job handling the moderators in the 2012 “debates”. It just did not translate into that many votes though.
