    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 :confused:

    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?

    Because Science.

    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.

    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.

    Some do, some don't

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    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. :D

    'Voices to Sperm '

    sounds like a new gay market boy band .


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭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.

    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....
