"I believe that's Trayvon Martin in the background, without a doubt," Primeau says, stressing that the tone of the voice is a giveaway. "That's a young man screaming."

Is Zimmerman a tenor, baritone, or a bass? There are plenty of older men who have voices higher than those of many younger men. You cannot use tone to distinguish between two males unless you already know the customary vocal pitch of each beforehand.

I have never had to yell "Help!" in a panicked mode, so I have absolutely no idea what my pitch might be.

But I DO know it would not be in my normal speaking voice.

The scream I heard on the tapes almost sound like a girl, or an animal. I’m not sure if the one I heard had two screams, or they were just replaying it - it sounded pretty close to the first scream. A terrified scream. I would think that a primal scream in the middle, or thinking it was your last moments in a fight would be hard to match to a “normal” recording of ones voice. Especially over cell phones, and even over regular phones which freeper’s have discussed on other threads.

I’ll wait to see, but the only eye witness, that was actually close enough to see who was who, etc. was a guy by the name of “John” that said the guy on the bottom, wearing a red jacket/sweater was the one crying for help. John told them to “stop it”, then went inside his sliding glass door which was right there to make his 911 call. Before he could call, Martin was shot.

Thank goodness John did the neighborhood watch thing properly and just “reported” and not get involved. /s

Vocal background here: From listening to pitch in spoken tape Z is a tenor. He didn't support his tone from the diaphragm so it is a “Light tenor” or breathy voice. When one is under stress vocal tone get higher (Think Sarah Palin) The voice heard yelling for help is consistent with zzimmerman's spoken voice.
