I’m not sure if I like the trend towards and exaggeratedly low register among American men (especially those who think they have to project authority). And, it’s not because I have a high voice – I can out low register just about anyone thanks to a long neck. I don’t like it because it’s ridiculous, and it leads to shorter intonational phrases as the speakers struggle to maintain a lowered glottis. Other than that this was a good speech. And I hope the Democrats can deliver. Let's not forget, though, that many of them were all too ready to jump on the war wagon when it came around.
