    I automatically adjust my accent, intensity and vocabulary according to who I’m talking to. Not a thing I think about, but I started doing it when I was in tech support and customer service 20-30 years ago. Same kinda defensive thing, “Hey! I’m just like you and I’m on your side!”

    Never thought about women pitching their voices higher. I’ve experienced that, makes all the sense in the world!

      I used to have weekly band practice in a more rural part of our country, one I grew up in but don’t live anymore. Every week when I got home from practice it took me a day to lose my old accent again lol
