I can never remember which one it is, but one of those Kennedy fellas sounds the same to me and I've always wondered if he has the same disorder as Diane Rehm.

I used to work with a girl who went into baby-voice when trying to get someone to do something. I used to flat out tell her no, I can't do it. Thing is, her normal speaking voice was fine.

i don't even think i know the answer to that (for me of course). i do find women with high pitched voices absolutely grating though. sometimes, i can't tell if some go in and out of that voice deliberately because it makes them sound more gentle (or infantile... eewww). i was cursed with a deep voice and i've worked…

You're talking about Diane Rehm. When I first started listening to her show, it bothered me, too. But her questions are so poignant, and she doesn't let anyone off the hook, and I think her pacing helps her listeners understand the content of the discussion (at least for me). It's very steady, too. Hers is one of my…

It just doesn't do it for me. The patriarchy has really done a number on my sexual preferences, and I just really go for the more traditional 'masculine' deep voice (although, none-'masculine' in almost every other respect, weirdly); every time I hear Beckham talk he instantly becomes an 11-year-old boy in my mind. I…

That's particularly interesting to me because I get irrationally irritated about speech impediments. I am an educator. I want to be collected, understanding, and nonjudgmental...but it makes me. completely. insane.

OMG,I have such a thing with voices.
I've got auditory hypersensitivity. I don't mind higher pitched men, really.
But it's not just the pitch, it's the tonality, the nasality... there was a teacher at my former job that I couldn't bear to be near because of her squawk. Luckily, we didn't work together!
Then there's…

Wow! I'm fascinated by language and speech, and I have a very real reaction to women with baby voices. I'm going to have to check that out. Thanks!

I find speech impediments totally hot! Especially stuttering. So you can send 'em all my way!

Oh dear. I'm guilty. It doesn't matter what David Beckham looks like, the first time I heard him talk it killed my ladyboner forever; conversely, I spent months lusting after this tall, blond, beautiful guy in college, only to fall instantly in lust with his sorta-ugly little friend (a young Christopher Walken?), the…

I can't find it now, but I had read a good article breaking down why people find certain voices annoying. When a voice sounds too young and doesn't match the speaker it's called puberphonia, and it can cause mild distress in the listener. I think that's why I found Michael Jackson's speaking voice creepy as hell when…

I will literally step out of the shower, soaking wet like a baby seal, to turn the radio off when she comes on with her stupid voice. Ugh. You are on RADIO. I feel like one of the job requirements should be "Voice that does not suck."

COULD YOU BE TALKING ABOUT ZOE CHASE AND HER TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE VOICE?!!??!

No.

Isn't it more of a question of being attracted (or not) to the person vs. prescriptive ideas of what people should or shouldn't be attracted to? I can guarantee you that if my boyfriend, whom I adore and find super gorgeous had a little high voice, we sadly wouldn't have gone past the first date.

For me it's the emphatic nature of the message. JUST SIMPLY NO!!!!!!!!! ROTATING NO!!!!!!! Not complex just NO!!!! I think that is what is so funny to me.

I am fucking pounding the table it has made me laugh so hard!!!!!!!!!!! AND I have seen it used a couple of times before!

"Excuse me, I've been eating bread my whole life, and gluten will literally kill me."

Someone will. You watch. Someone will explain that the employees were at fault in these situations.
