Is it me or do most americans have high pitched voice

Jhcx

Im just after watching Top gear the original version. then i got a little ad inviting me to check out the american one. and instantly my ears hurt. i went from grown men talking bout cars to 14 year olds

also made me realise i have a friend in their 20's sounds like a 15 year old. and i can prolly pick out a few american youtubers in their 20's, 30's and 40's who have high pitched voiced. but yet 13 - 16 year old americans have deep voices dafuq? is it as you get older your voice get higher? only in america i guess

Thankfully i live in a country where everyone has a deep farmers voice. :pac:

How do you pronounce "Story bud?" in latino then?

The Deeper His Voice, The Crappier His Sperm

You know how a deep voice in a man is a surefire sign of his ability to impregnate you with lots of his genetically-fit babies, which is exactly what you, as a woman, are hardwired to want? Yeah, no. Turns out, dudes with deep voices actually have substandard sperm.

I think their accent is just really nasal.

Perhaps the deep voiced can afford to have lower quality sperm on account of all the extra sex they're having.

How did it get from voices to sperm?. Which in theory to my mention on deep voice say somethin but can't put my finger on it . Gah I'm going back to sleep.

I know many, many grown women in the US who feign a more girlier voice...a voice I've never heard anywhere but there. It's bizarre.

What annoys me about them is the way they raise the pitch at the end of every sentence, as if everything is a question.

This post needs a question mark.

Aussies and Kiwis do that too.

I have to say, I do remember hearing a girl working in a shop over in the states with a voice so high pitched she sounded like Minnie Mouse. (I wasn't at Disneyland/world).

Doesn't NTSC video when converted to PAL have a speedup effect of 4% or something that raises the pitch of the voice?

Apparently the voices of some American women are so high-pitched that they are practically inaudible to the human ear.
However, in my experience dogs seem to enjoy this glass-shattering squeak, if ever you are in close proximity to an American 'lady' when she's 'banging on', you won't actually hear anything she is saying yourself, but keep an eye out for the nearest dog and watch him wag his tail and bark excitedly as if in agreement!

yes, but only when they are waitressing, or serving. Once they get your money they go back to their normal adult voice.

I have told you a million times not to exaggerate OP :mad:

bluecode

Quite the opposite in my view. I wonder if the OP has met many real Americans or been to the US. Most American men have very deep voices certainly compared to Irish men.

As for women, well they're women. High pitched voices are normal.

So yes OP, it's just you.

Funglegunk

Have you never been up the North no?

Thankfully I don't have an accent so yous canny da take piss outa me ya wastards hiy

I think that whiny voice is mainly a weird by-product of American television, which demands that female leads in sitcoms have a vocal style best suited to controlling dogs in the next county.

If you think someone from Texas/Florida/Georgia etc. has a high pitched voice, well....

2 Broke Girls proves OP to be correct

Really I don't recall. Are we talking 1 million posts or one million times in a 3 digit amount of posts. I Dont recall us crossing paths before?

From reading over the last few posts think I stand in a correct position of non exaggeration .

Well I have to agree. Most of my family from the east coast have deep voices but as u move west to California they get very high pitched. Yes I have spoken to many Americans from gaming and other stuff.

The Deeper His Voice, The Crappier His Sperm

Men with deep voices have lower sperm counts than their counterparts, researchers have discovered.
With studies finding that women rate men with deep voices as being more dominant, older, healthier and more masculine, scientists from the University of Western Australia tried to discover if they are also more fertile.
They recorded men saying the five vowels and calculated the pitch of their speech.

The tapes were played back to women, who rated them for attractiveness. Finally, sperm samples were analysed.
The women judged the lower-pitched voices as more attractive, but those men had lower sperm counts, the journal PLoS ONE reports.
The biology behind the phenomenon may be quite simple, with high levels of the male sex hormone testosterone impeding sperm production.

The researchers got women to listen to the voice recordings of 54 men aged between 18 and 32.
Those men were also asked to provide a sperm sample.
After noting that lower sperm counts were associated with the men with deeper voices, the researchers concluded that perhaps some sort of trade-off was taking place.

They believe it could be nature’s way of balancing things out, so that if you have the voice and muscles women love so much, you lose out on the virility front.
It should be noted, though, that all the sperm counts measured were within healthy parameters.
The results of the study were published in the journal PLos ONE.

I'm a guy with quite a deep voice so I was a bit put out by that. But sure, higher testosterone levels is a fair trade off to me :pac:

Floridian Tom Petty has a very deep speaking voice, but when he sings he sounds like an American girl.
