Xander ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You could hear all my classes from every room, and one instructor told me I didn't have to "compensate", you know, I could just teach like a chick. It took him a while to understand that...lo...that was "like a chick". Because it was how I teach the martial arts, and I'm a chick.
That's like the inverse of the Iggy Pop quote going around where he's wearing a dress, and someone calls it a "woman's dress," and he's like, hell no -- this is mine, so that makes it a man's dress! And PS: Fuck you.
That's the one.
Figured, once I got out of the Jimmy James (which I still hear in Phil Hartman's voice) place my mind immediately went to.
And me, I went to Jonestown.
I have a lower voice than most women, and I still regularly get mistaken for a man. I know when I put more diaphragm behind a statement I can make people do what I want, even without raising my voice. It's odd, but I'm happy to take advantage of it.
Oh yeah. I can project. I can project like a motherfucker. It always startles people, especially when I was more wee than now. But I still have the ability to quiet a room full of people by saying, "All right, listen up." authoritatively.
But then, my voice is naturally a little low, anyway. Family legend has it that upon meeting infant me, my uncle leaned forward, looked at me in surprise, and turned to my mom and said, in his classic Japanese/Hawaiian throaty tones, "Sexy voice, eh?"
ita !, so far my babygoth squad has found one with red claws: [link] . ASOS had one, but it's out of stock: [link]
But now you've got more search terms?
Damn, that ASOS one is gorgeous. But the red tips are intriguing...
Thanks. Damn, your peeps are quick.
I have a high voice.
I also have a deeper register "I will cut out your heart with a dull spoon" voice.
My students would make (loving) fun of my high voice, but when the "spoon" voice came out, that room would get dead quiet and thugs getting weekly drops because they were on probation for assault, et. al. would quake.
I've been challenged on my intellect because of my voice a couple of times. Lasted about 4.3 seconds.
Maybe the crazy eyes helped.
Is that low voice with the projection what gets referred to as "command voice"?
ita, there's a bracelet on Ebay ending very soon.
ETA: There's more listed there. I hope these search results show up.
