Voice and speech: Difference between revisions

There are several factors which contribute to how a voice is interpreted with regards to gender, and these factors vary between societies. The most commonly recognised of these factors is pitch, which can undergo a dramatic transformation during ones lifetime due to the physical changes associated with puberty or endocrine therapy, for instance. Several studies have identified a gender-ambiguous average pitch at 155-187Hz, a feminine average pitch at 220Hz, and a masculine average pitch at 120Hz.<ref>Adler et al 2006</ref><ref>Andrews 1999</ref><ref>Gelfer et al 2000</ref><ref>Spencer 1998</ref><ref>Wolfe et al 1990</ref>
