“She’s a screech owl with that girly, high pitched voice.”
I wouldn’t say it’s that bad.
I agree she doesn’t sound presidential when she talks in that higher pitched voice. She doesn’t always sound like that, though, sometimes she has a much nicer tone.
She needs to come across more serious in general. It’s easier for people to put their trust in someone who has quiet strength than someone who seems too excitable.
All that said, I’m still crazy about her.
Reagan was like that, always calm and maintaining his composure and tone; as well as his sense of humor. I like Sarah Palin, but she'll look and sound like a little girl attacking Obama if/when they debate. She simply does not have a 'professional' voice. She needs to take voice lessons. And she needs to understand that a quiet, confident person makes a bigger hit than a hyped up one with a high pitched voice that makes her sound wound up all the time. Too bad we couldn't take her heart and fortitude and put it inside one of the good males running for Repub. nomination. Sarah's lovely, but she's not Presidential by any stretch.
