Can we please talk about Trump's voice? (Instead of Hillary's)

I've never seen one comment about Trump's voice in any media report, but I hate it.

It grates on me.

I think it's too high pitched, for a guy.

And it's too nasal.

And he needs to learn to modulate his tones.

And that NY accent seems phony. I know he's from NY, but none of the people that I know from NY sound like Trump.

(His daughter Ivanka sounds like she grew up in a whole different family. Oh wait -- she did.)

And he goes on and on and on and on.

Anyway, every time I hear that voice of his I just want to throw something at the TV. I'd make his head spin so hard!

is not that it's too high-pitched.

It's that it's a female voice.

What a sad, sad world we live in.

That is why she has to clear her throat all the time, she's giving herself nodes.

At least, that's what this Music Teacher who has studied vocal health hears.

Can't have too high of a voice to be in the room with all those men making deals!

I agree, sad.

He spoke. With spaces. In between. Every two. Words.

30 million might have tuned in to the beginning of his acceptance speech, but he had to be lucky to have half that 70 odd minutes later.

Actually I find both Hillary and Bernie's voices pretty grating too if I'm being honest. Obama has completely ruined me when it comes listening to public speakers.

at the very least one of the best voices of all time. Trust me -- it's great.
