Does Obama's baritone give him an edge?
A powerful voice is a "god-given sound," says opera's Lotfi Mansouri. Obama's baritone seems to have that magic. Clinton's higher-pitched voice, not so much.
By Frank Browning [2008-02-28]

  • Lincoln

    By all accounts, Lincoln did not have a baritone but was much higher in pitch. Yet he was considered a great orator. I think there is a lot more going on than just pitch. Yes it probably helps, but Obama couldn't ride vacuousness to success with just a voice.
