Amy Coney Barrett is speaking now

[IcyPeas]

[Mossfern]

1. like the new middle name

[IcyPeas]

2. ooopsie

[Bluepinky]

3. Nasally, whiney voice.

[Mossfern]

6. Yes,

and I'm a NY, NJ Jew.
Too high pitched for gravitas.
But that's not really the issue.

She's now talking about all her children, her husband and her siblings.
Is this usual?

[Miigwech]

4. Wittle girl voice.

[tormadjax]

5. The voice is irritating. n/t

[Mossfern]

8. her vocal chords are tight (constricted)

and she's breathing from her throat rather than her chest.

[tormadjax]

10. Nerves? n/t

[PatSeg]

17. Yeah, I'd say she is very nervous

That is how it often manifests in people.

[zeusdogmom]

15. We shouldn't be focused on her voice

But I agree it has an irritating quality about it. I'm surprised someone along the way hasn't helped her acquire an adult, professional woman's voice vs. her the "little girl" sound.

[tormadjax]

16. I feel her voice is a part of her overall presentation.

ty

[zeusdogmom]

18. Pathetic if that is part of her shtick

How can you take an adult seriously if they sound like a 12 year old?

Also reminds of the voice of grown women in a relationship with a very controlling man.

[tormadjax]

20. God! How sick! n/t

[jmbar2]

7. Speaking in tongues?

[elleng]

9. Thanks

[smb]

11. Meh. If I Want To Hear A Stream Of Bullshit I'll Listen To Wussolini nt

[Chiyo-chichi]

12. Her cutesy little "jokes" are like something a high-schooler or Jr. High student would say.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. I've lived in Chicago all my life.

Her version of a Midwestern voice is irritating and childish. She sounds like a high school freshman reciting in an unacknowledged contest to be teacher's pet.

[dem4decades]

14. She makes me sick.

[intuito]

19. Very Disturbing Voice: It is as if a whole range of human experience is missing

I could not believe it when I first heard it. Never heard anyone speak in public like that. At first I thought she was whining-but it is constant. It is as if a whole range of human experience is missing. I wonder if her unusual life style and beliefs have squashed the core of her and all that is left is that little slice of tonality. I strongly suspect that she is a very unhappy woman and does not know it. Talk of someone not having found their voice!
