How important is a man's voice?

Let's not forget the "Duke" John Wayne - Sometimes the words speak louder than the voice.
 

Well, yes the ladies are entitled to their swoons on the different characteristics of their males.

The males, well just as confused as the ladies.

I guess this is to you ladies. I'm watching a Gregory Peck movie. I just listen to his deep, masculine voice and I just swoon! It's the same with Sean Connery! What is it? Have I been stuck in the house too long? Do you think men overall have higher voices now? Am I just imagining this? Do men's speaking voices ever affect any of you the same way?

I'm with you, Gaer!

I love a true mans voice, deep and full.

I listen to a lot of radio and occasionally will hear a mans voice that is (at times) hard to differentiate between a mans voice or a woman's voice.

Hahahaha! Where did you find this old thread?
This was from when I first joined the forum! Hahahaha!

But, You can tell SO MUCH from the timber of a man's (or a person's) voice; the tenderness, , the softness, the sharpness of it.
If you're are really AWARE of the quality of their voice, not only what theyare saying, you can actually decipher the level of consciousness of the person. It's fascinating!

ROFLMAO!

Gaer, I coast around on this forum looking for this and that, and when something jumps out at me, BAM, I'm on it! :)

I agree with all that you mentioned! Love your use of the word "timber", so befitting. :love:
 
I have a deep voice. Very, It can be a bit aggravating in that whispering or speaking softly is not all that possible, most people think I'm mouthing the words. I basically have one octave, that's pretty much it.
My grand daughter has a new puppy and all I have to do is say hello and the puppy will go into the bedroom to hide.

If I have a cold my voice will drop two or more levels. When I have a cold and the voice is so so deep, the family members asks me to record messages for them on their phones and answering machines. Sometimes a deep voice is not all its cracked up to be, you are always recognized.

I have several young male contractors that work's for me and their voice is very high. In hind sight I can not think of any young male, that I personally know, that has a deep voice.

My husband has a big booming voice, and over the years he had to learn to tone it down, because we'd be in a restaurant or somewhere around people, and BOOM, BOOM, BOOM... his voice would overpower everything.

Yes, totally understand. Same here. Recently we were with a couple. Two males in the front seat of the vehicle and the wife's in the back seat, going somewhere. I was talking about something, and the other lady nudged my wife and said " does he have a volume control?"

Ron has a great voice. I still remember my reaction the first time I heard it. I loved how deep it was and how as he talked he always sounded as though he was on the verge of laughing...do you know what I mean? It's very endearing, though when he's serious his voice drops half an octave and that humorous note goes away.

I had a friend in high school, I really liked her, but she had THE MOST NASAL VOICE I've ever encountered!! She was such a sweetheart too, but I realized that I was getting off the phone when we talked as fast as I could, because the nasal quality of her voice was even more grating over the phone!

That friend of yours, Ronni, it wasn't by chance, Fran Drescher, was it? :)

🤣 😂🤣😂 Y'know, I almost mentioned her as an example of how my friend's voice sounded, only worse! The ONLY reason I didn't is because I couldn't remember her name right then, and wasn't sure if y'all would know who I was talking about if I talked "that woman on TV!"

Even had you mentioned her as being "the nanny", I would have known exactly who you were referring to. :)

No, I don't think the pitch of the average man's voice has changed. You might be imagining this. I swoon when I've loved the man the voice was attached to.

I agree Pepper, there are men with deeper or higher voices today, just as it was many years ago. I still swoon over my man, around fifty years together, it's the whole package that counts, inside and out. He's no Barry White or Barney Fife. :D
 
When tough guy Robert Mitchum was selected for the role of the bad guy Mx Cady in Cape Fear the best selection for a guy to stand up to him was Peck. When Peck played General Macarthur again his whatever you want to call it, stood out as a man of steel. I never saw him in a bad performance . He was great as a bad guy as well as he played in Duel In The Sun opposite Jennifer Jones. Then again as a Nazi In Boys From Brazil. Captain Ahab in Moby Dick was an obsessed mad man. He truly could do it all.

He could even play comedy, a la Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn. But he didn't do it too often.

He is at his best (in my opinion) in the Korean War movie Pork Chop Hill.
 
Yes, a man's voice is very important to me and I like most of them. Recently my daughter jumped all over me for saying I was getting rid of my Eckhart Tolle CDs because he has a soft, slow, wimpy voice. She said I was judgemental and me saying that was on the same level as a man body shaming a woman.

Your daughter is perhaps overreacting a bit. You didn’t tell Tolle you thought his voice was feminine or it should be deeper. Unless there was more to the conversation that you haven’t recounted, you made a statement that the sound of his voice wasn’t pleasing to you.

If anyone was shaming or being sexist it was your daughter, because it sounds like SHE’S the one who inferred from your description that the soft voice of Tolle was feminine.
 
It’s pretty important to me. Without it, I would not be able to communicate.

What about Pee Wee Herman’s voice? Now there’s a manly voice. (Yeah, OK.)
