Her medical condition is the least of her problems. |
I like her voice. It's interesting and dignified... unlike most of the comments here. |
You could always listen to Rush instead! |
You revived a two year old thread to say this? Crazy lady! |
It is an awful voice. I honestly can't listen.
I have a client also with dysphonia and a physical benign essential tremor and she always sounds like she is broken up to the point of tears and with her tremor to her hands and body, everywhere she goes people are like 'r u ok? r u sure?' and it gets really annoying for her with people always wanting to call 911 or find a family member for her or sit with her. She's like 'get over it; I'm fine'. |
My favorite is Neeeeeeeeeeeeeil
Aaaaaaaauuuuugensteeeeeeeeeiiin.......... UGH. |
I tried to listen to Diane Rehm's show for several weeks with an open mind. I gave up and just immediately switch to another public radio station. Sorry, and best wishes to Diane Rehm. |
Totally agree! I think she's great. Love her show. |
I'm not sure I would classify it as a "medical condition." She has a tremor. I admire her for pursuing what she wants in light of what people might think. |

So you had to revive this two year old thread to tell us [i]that[/i]? |
uhhh... what? |
The Splendid Table lady has a great voice. |
Her voice doesn't bother me. But when I first heard it I pictured a New England professor-type who wears Birkenstocks in the winter with grey socks and was surprised with what she actually looks like. |
I think what you should take from hearing this voice is an indication of the wonderful inclusivity of our society. Such a thing as this would not have been possible even 20 years ago. My son is a college debater and one of his team mates has a spastic condition that makes it difficult for him to produce words fluently. This student, each time he gets up to speak, is an example of courage to everyone. I am so glad for the marathoners in the wheelchairs and all of these people who no longer retire to a life of self-concealment but instead come out into the open to participate in our common life. |
Sweetie, this thread is 3 years old!
(Her voice was nasally and annoying long before the dysphonia started.) |
