This paper discusses the pitch component of the human voice: how it is produced, how it is used, what can affect it and how it can influence people’s opinions and reactions. The paper focusses on how pitch is unique to every individual, and how it reveals an individual’s personal and socio-cultural facts and attitudes. The paper also shows how speakers can, more or less consciously, manipulate their pitch for particular purposes: to appear more attractive, powerful or simply to show membership in a socio-linguistic community.
