'O, how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the soul! - H.W. Longfellow
This week, I break from Embark's interview format to ruminate on the qualities of the voice. What do we sound like? What do our voices say about us? Does it matter?
How much of our character, personality or background does our voice reveal? Do we hide behind our voice to conceal things we'd rather not share? Does our voice tell our entire story?
Subsequent episodes will discuss how styles of speaking evolve, the rise of AI and synthesized voices, as well as how kids in one world class city speak in a very different dialect than their parents.
Today's episode features a little bit about voice acting and how casting has changed, how broadcasting has homogenized how we speak in the U.S, and if it's possible to sound taller.
