Some squeak, some purr, and some grate, but however they sound, voices often speak louder than words. What can you get from a phone conversation's introductory "Hello"? PT moves beyond mere semantics.
You Sound Symmetrical
People with bilaterally balanced bodies have voices that are rated more attractive. According to Gordon Gallup Jr., professor of psychology at the State University at Albany, "Voice is, in effect, a medium for the transmission of biological information."
Voices Weigh In
People can estimate a speaker's height, weight, and age from his voice as accurately as they can after viewing his photo.
Sizing Up the Competition
When men are in the presence of someone they deem less physically dominant, they assert themselves and their voices drop in pitch. However, when intimidated, their voices go up.
Libido's Lilt
Want to know how sexually promiscuous someone is? People with attractive voices have had more sexual partners and report an earlier age of first sexual encounter. They're also more likely to cheat.
