- redwall_hp 3mo agoAs an addendum: Japanese isn't as all-in on pitch having semantics as Chinese, but pitch is very important. Words have "pitch accent" rather than "stress" the way English has, and overall pitch is strongly politeness-coded. Speaking higher is politer, and noticeably dropping your pitch is threatening. You probably would pitch-up when speaking to your boss, and people working in shops or restaurants nearly sing welcome/thank you for coming type things.
- kanbankaren 3mo agoHow would you pitch-up? Does the entire Japanese population learn these things while growing up?
- smilespray 3mo agoI think it's called learning to speak.
- kanbankaren 3mo agoDon't be smartass. My question was how to change pitch? Most people can't change their pitch unless they have been trained. I can't speak with the pitch of child or woman. Neither are most people.
- smilespray 3mo agoIt's all relative. Nobody expects a grown man post-voice change to speak with the pitch of a child.
