My Voice Role Models

There are women's voices I hear and I think, I might be able to sound like that and be happy with it. I have a few voices within me now. One is my default voice. I've lost most of my Brooklyn accent, even my NY accent, although it does appear at times. I am unable to say "saw horse" without invoking it. I have a professional radio voice from a career in aviation. I suppose I have an authority voice after spells in supervision and management. But I would dearly love to develop a femme voice.

The first woman is Marcia Kramer, born 1948, of CBS NY.

Another woman with a great voice is Miranda July, born 1974, who I came across recently on an NPR interview.

The woman who I've always had a voice-crush on is Mary Louise Kelly, born 1971, of NPR.
