@tawnyplatis: This voice is perceived as soft, sincere, and easy to cheer on in both animated shows and movies and live action (examples include Anna Kendrick in multiple roles, Ellie Kemper in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde, Jenna Fischer as Pam in The Office, Kristen Bell in multiple roles, Mae Whitman as numerous characters, Michael Cera in several tv shows and movies, John Mulaney in host stand up comedy, Hilary Duff in Younger and Lizzie McGuire, Tom Holland as Peter Parker in Spiderman, Jesse Eisenberg in a ton of his work, Kiernan Culkin in many films and series, and Elijah Wood in nearly all of his character work) But there's also challenges that come with having a voice like this. Head voices with high placement often have a harder time when it comes to being taken seriously. The same biology that makes you sound non-threatening can make you sound like you're not a credible source, especially in any spaces where low voices are strongly associated with authority (characters like Caillou, Elmyra Duff, Billy from Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Kip from Napoleon Dynamite) - I'm discussing the way this voice is perceived by audiences and from an American sociology standpoint, not an irl speaker's intent or character. - In classical vocal pedagogy, 'head voice' and 'chest voice' refer to vocal registers defined by how the vocal folds vibrate. I'm using them here more loosely and in the way voice actors, directors, etc. often do to describe where someone's habitual speaking voice sits and where they feel the resonance. - I'm speaking to some of the often universal traits attached to this voice type as it's perceived in English language mainstream American TV and film casting. There are always cultural specifics that shape how voices are read and received, and I'm not always the right person to analyze many of those from the outside #movies #voiceactor #voiceacting #movietok #filmtok
