Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, is the screechiest public personality I've ever known. I have hearing loss "a cookie bite pattern" that's genetic. I can hear *everything* she says because she's at such a high pitch. Her hot husband, Lad, mumbles to me because he has such a soft bass. Does that make sense?
Regardless, I always have CC on. My father, his brother, my maternal grandmother all died deaf. I actually do have hearing aids, but the adjustment is very difficult, and painful. I can actually hear neighbors conversations from across the fence, and, at first, I didn't know where they came from. Nothing strange at all, except, I felt a little overwhelmed because I heard everything. It wasn't mean. It was just badgering from everywhere. And hard to tolerate.

Kamala Harris talks through her nose. It's a real pity, because it's quite annoying, in the same way Fran Drescher's voice is. What's more annoying is that a couple of hours with a good vocal coach back in her 20s could almost certainly have put an end to it, and also made her more relaxed by improving the way she breathes when talking. I daresay that coming from her background she didn't know that was available :(

R55, I certainly wasn't casting aspersions on Harris's education. Unless you go to drama school, it's not the business of your school or college to transform your voice.
I was referring to the fact that she was effectively raised by a single mother who had two kids and a full-time job (as well as activist interests), and fixing her voice was probably either unaffordable or overlooked amidst the other demands. If she'd had two academic parents (and their salaries) living with her, someone probably would have suggested a bit of voice training when it became clear she was interested in pursuing law and might therefore have to do a lot of public speaking.
Maybe it WAS brought to her attention and she declined to do anything about it: who knows?
