I love Sarah, and everything she believes and says, BUT - please limit the flames now - when she gets energized speaking - which is usually - it seems she gets shrill, and to me at that point she ceases to communicate with authority....
Am I the only one who senses this? Margaret Thatched never did this......
She does. And then her language gets stilted and awkward-sounding as if she's purposely exaggerating focus-group-tested words. That said, I'm about ready for her now.
You can tell she tries to work on it.
She sounds like a singer who can’t really hear themselves onstage - and oversings as a result.
I’ve always wondered how much tech support they get at these events. She really needs a good, loud, stage monitor or IEM (in ear monitor) so she can hear herself.
Also - some eq can help a lot. Keep the mic close for proximity effect and boost the lower frequencies in her voice and bring down the 5-8K range, where her voice gets peaky and shrill.
Lady Thatcher never shouted. She sometimes raised her voice but it came out as forceful but not shrill. She was most effective when her voice calmly cut like cold steel. A career in the British Parliament taught her well.
I, too, don’t care for the shrillness in Sarah’s voice - but that’s the only fault the woman has.
She’s passed relentless anal exams from her vicious opponents on her professional and personal life and they can’t come up with a damned thing to taint her. She is truly blessed and I think - she is the female version of Reagan!
OH, HOW I WISH SHE WAS RUNNING FOR POTUS!!!
So all you genius voice coaches were right she should drop out of the race.
Maggie was accused of it all the time. It even comes up in the movie! W had a bit of a related problem—that Texas drawl; JFK had the Boston-accent. FDR had another (old Westchester?). But when push comes to shove, it’s what said, not the octave it’s spoken in.
