I'd vote for her, but her little girl/valley girl voice is going to damage her.
Why would you vote for someone who called Arlington a soulless suburb?
Because that shows me she has excellent insight and taste.

a deeper female voice isn't masculine, you helium voiced freak.

I apologize for causing so much distress to so many individuals.
But you can work to change it, keep your tone level, particularly if you're upset/stressed (to avoid what's perceived as screeching), and take a deep breath before you speak. I have a higher pitched voice as well, but i try to be conscious of my pitch when I need to be taken seriously.
