I learned "command voice" in the control room of a sub, where certain things HAD to be heard over twenty other voices.
It still helps with everyday conversation when my wife is on a different floor of the house, or across the yard, etc etc.
Every once in a while it helps sort out an otherwise mishmash of a professional discussion... when used judiciously of course.
- gaius 8y agowhere certain things HAD to be heard over twenty other voices. Often people say that higher-pitched, female voices are easier to hear over machinery noises, that’s why car satnavs and voice warnings in cockpits tend to be female. Which would seem to be the opposite of a low-pitched voice being more commanding. What do you reckon?
- zentiggr 8y agoEither one can be effective, it's a matter of sufficient pitch difference and increased volume. Almost on topic, some residents of my former high-rise barracks liked playing their bass tracks blaring out the windows, which got my roommate and I thinking, if they have the bass, we can take the treble... and we got our competition bagpipe CDs out and cranked them up. We made our point. (And the barracks mangers shut us both up... )
