In movies, why are giants portrayed as having deep, slow voices, while “dwarves” are portrayed as having small, squeaky voices? Is it accurate that voice changes depending on your size?

Answer 1

You’ve received some good information regarding the tone. The reason giants are depicted to have a slower speech pattern is probably related to their lung size. Smaller animals typically have a faster respiration rate and larger animals slower. I’m not sure why they expect a giant to only speak the same number of words as per breath as a human, though. That part doesn’t make sense.
