On the Radio

Even if you don’t understand French, you might be interested in hearing a recording of this piece about weblogs which aired during the noon news.

My interview starts at five minutes 14 seconds approximately. If you’ve heard my “English voice”, you’ll most certainly notice that my “French voice” is different (it’s quite a bit lower). Anybody with a scientific explanation for this phenomenon is most welcome to share it!

    My Mandarin speaking voice is higher in pitch than my English voice. When I (try to) speak French, I always feel as if I’m speaking Malay. Perhaps it may simply be due to the fact that different languages have different intonations, and so we adjust our voices accordingly?

    Listened to the whole recording. Pity I didn’t understand a thing! Who were all the other people? Bloggers?

    Since I haven’t heard your English voice, it was hard to tell. All I noticed is that everyone speaks really FAST! Or is it my imagination?!

    I’ll listen to the interview right now. Me too, I would like to know why our voices vary according to the language we speak. I had already noticed that it happens to me and to some of my friends.

    Congrats for the blog and please root for Brazil againts Germany tomorrow. By the way, I love Switzerland. Some of my relatives live there (St.Gallen) and so does a special e-friend of mine (a girl, in Payerne).

    Greetings.
