Vocal fry, uptalking, nasal: women's voices can never be "right"

ast week I listened to two audio books performed by Adjoa Andoh - Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy, about a galactic empire of black women no less - where she gave individual personalities to dozens of characters. And I could always tell which ones they were instantly. And kept getting my mind blown every so often when I would pause to remember that they were all Andoh.

Now you’ve got me chuckling thinking about what an audiobook would sound like done all in uptalk, fry and nasal voices.
