This is probably true , I think, for both the written and spoken voice. So, here's to all us fellows at AD who join together in the same Orchestra Pit of Life! LOL Kate xx
SPEAK UP, SING OUT, JOIN IN!
Voice
Raw material of life:
All your social, economic
and personal history;
Your present emotional status,
aspirations and pains;
Who you are and
how you are
And what you hope to become
Etched upon your vocal chords
Reverberating and intoning
the substance of
your hidden depths
Completely beyond
disguise
or imitation
Your voice is You:
Your power and personality
that has been created
to be
heard
Voice's music is unique
and life's symphony
incomplete,
totally unfinished
until
you add
Yours!
Apparently, women recognise four distinct male voices:
1. Boyish
2. Smarmy
3. Rough
4. Military
...And men recognise four women's voices as being:
1. Vamp = husky and smouldering
2. Little Girl = shrill
3. Mumsy = cosily bossy
4. Crone = croaky and feeble
As poets, I think we are probably a mixed bag of all of them and likely to be asexual??!! But, underneath it all, perhaps the truth will out...!! K xx
when it comes down to it, the voice is the instrument of the soul ... i prefer a voice of infinite passion that sings out to the heavens ...
very creative concept you've penned ...

An excellent piece of insight, Kate!
I believe we probably ARE some of all of them...or the
sum of the parts...or (It's late, and I struggle for words
to come out right), but how I do love your poetic genius!
LOL at Ed Kostro's comment!
Most interesting take on 'The Orchestra Pit of Life,' Kate.
I like to use my 'swarmy' voice, but it seems for most of my life, all the women in it like to use their 'mumsy' voice when speaking to me. Darn it. Oops, sorry, lapsed into my 'boyish' voice for a second. I meant, 'Damn it.' (That was my rough voice!)
Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
A people’s heart can be found in their poetic words. In history men and women have stood firmly upon their soapboxes and street corners, rallying the deepest beliefs of people to rise up and be heard. The poetrypages.com has offered that voice a new
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

I sound like an 11 yr old...in my family woman's voices don't mature after a certain pitch! Gets me out of talking to telemarketers!

I think it's true, you can build someones character by their writes.
And I like what I see on here..
that falls mostly on the plain;-)
Great write, Kate!
