The Perfect Voice

A bit off topic but still relevant...

Recently researchers have released recordings of the perfect male and female voice. According to a BBC report there are certain voices that humans innately find more appealing than others. Preferences vary sporadically but surveys reveal that the actor Jeremy Iron and Alan Rickman possess the most popular male voices.

Meanwhile a melange of Dame Judi Dench, Mariella Frostrum and Honor Blackman's voices created the most admirable female voice.

While this find is largely irrelevant, I was still aghast that such a study had occurred. Great time and effort has probably been made into researching this topic but I believe this study should have been dismissed before it even began.

I am glad that this study did not garner great attention as it would have only made human stereotypes than they are now. Should all men be trying to sound like Jeremy Iron and women like Judi Dench? I think not, as it is one of the first parts of our unique identity, one that we need to protect dearly.
