The Neuroscience of Pitch

Captivate the Room

Welcome to the show.

Over the month of March I'm going to be featuring a lot of women's voices and in most of my solo shows I'll be talking about specific things that women deal with in relation to their voices.

Today, I'm going to be talking about the neuroscience of pitch specifically in relation to women's voices and how higher pitch can be problematic. I'm referencing the Huberman Lab podcast and Chris Voss in this episode.

In NO way am I being critical of women's voices. Women have a lot of societal implications around their voices, many of them lead to women speaking in a higher pitch, getting stuck in a high pitch and not even speaking in their real voice.

There are definite issues around speaking at a higher pitch constantly in relation to how the brain processes sound which is exactly the angle I'll be talking to in this episode.
