Why are voices so unique and distinguishable? Even a single word can let you recognize someone.
In: Biology
There’s a lot of characteristics to a voice.
* The tone/timbre of the voice
* The rhythm/cadence at which someone speaks
* Their prosody, ie. how their inflexion changes throughout a sentence (or even a word)
* Their accent; particularly how they pronounce certain vowel sounds
* and additionally their dialect. What kind of words they use
That’s a lot of different features for identifying a voice, it’s not just a sound.
Example: Look how well Tom Hiddleston impersonates Graham Norton: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzqWPDnYEik](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzqWPDnYEik) He’s paying attention to each one of the points I mentioned above (except dialect, he used fairly standard language).
