When you are reacting to something that made you angry, does your voice become really high-pitched?(Details if needed.)

Asked by MrGrimm888 (19045points) 2 weeks ago

Does your emotional anger at something, sometimes/always make you end up talking so high pitched that you can barely speak?
Is this learned behavior?
I was just watching Steven A. Smith, and he occasionally gets so riled up that his voice is really high-pitched.
Admittedly. This is a trait, I possess.
Anybody else, lose the ability to respond vocally to something in a normal voice if they’re heated enough?

Example.
Person – “I don’t believe the Earth, is round.”

Me – “WWWWHHATTTT!^”(tongue shoots to back of throat, in shock and annoyance.

Actually, mine goes lower and comes from the diaphragm more. The kids used to call it the voice of God.

^Mine goes lower as well.

The kids used to call it the voice of Satan. (jk)

I get silent. I recommend running away in a zigzag pattern.

I very rarely get angry, and when I do I’ve learned to control it by modulating my voice to be normal.

No, but mine tends to get louder and I have to consciously work on controlling it. If it’s sudden or out-of-the-blue anger, that’s difficult.

Like @smudges I get louder and often a deeper more forceful tone. Men and women both tend to simmer down faster.

I don’t get extremely angry often but I suspect that the voice may go up a half or even a full step in the most extreme.

Mine goes lower and the children tremble even if my voice isn’t raised.

I go low voice, when it’s a measured response.
If I am slighted, I get high voiced, but not violent.
Low voice is bad for me too.
I think I can sound really stupid, during emotional reactions. (Believe it or not.)

KNOWITALL's avatar

All I’m saying is I’ve learned to be more careful with low-pitched, growly people. That’s a danger sign to me.
Your pitch can reflect blood pressure believe it or not, so angry low pitches means they’re the more calm, logical opponents.
