I wasn’t alone the day after her first Trump speech. I didn’t watch but heard it on the radio. In 2008, people complained about her shrill, folksy-accented voice, and it never bothered me. I heard her speak twice, once quietly indoors and once, fired up outdoors, and it never bothered me.
This time, as they played her speech, her voice was so wavery, so breaking like a pubescent boy, that it shocked me. That can be from a loss of estrogen, which she might want to look into (bioidentical). Then her volume: when she puts emphasis into it, she really loses control. It’s a high pitched, harsh sound. That, a vocal coach could really help her with. Her content is awesome; I mean my comments in a constructive way. Maybe she can’t hear it. Her voice now could hurt dogs’ ears, and it keeps people from what she is saying.
I totally agree with your comments. My wife, who is a speech pathologist, commented on how painful she sounded compared to 2008. Having said that, I suspect Palin will be cast aside shortly after the last consequential primary. She brings Trump no plus votes in November I’d reckon.
