I happen to disagree with your statement. That is her voice. She was using her voice in a “rallying the troops” mode. She was speaking with passion and emotion for what she believes and against that which is bad for her Country. When she gets passionate her voice is beautiful not screechy!
She is just as effective as that Evil Community organizer, Obama, when he is delivering a speech to his bussed in union Thugs and stirring up the anger in them, just so he can bask in the adulation they give him.
I guess you think she should just stand there and deliver a rousing speech in a sweet monotone voice. Boring! She used the perfect voice when she growled out the word "girl" in her in her “Fight like a girrrl” phrase.
She is never trite, always some striking phrase and/or image. “Death Panels” is still around to give the enemy fits. And not just memorable.They have the ring of truth.
First, please don't tell me what I think. I happen to speak from thirty years' experience in media. If you do too, that's great.
I think she could benefit from a speech coach. I understand the need to 'be yourself' when you speak and if you read my full comment you would see that I had no argument with the content. I just wish she had a better speaking voice. That doesn't mean monotone, as you implied.
If you've ever done public speaking, as I have, you'd know that when you try to force your voice you can run into trouble. Her voice is thin. That's her only issue and as I said, I hope it doesn't cost her. I can imagine lightweights like Tina Fey parodying her and doing real damage among people who aren't as politically sophisticated as those on this site.
