Maybe his crowd is as he describes. I have to admit there are crowds like that. In my experience, the two kinds of crowds don’t mix and don’t talk to each other.

“a permanent change to pitch is very, very difficult.” — Tell that to my mother. She used to whip me for not lowering my voice. But I think my high-pitched voice is a “please-don’t-hit-me” thing in the first place.
