Do I Sound Gay?

THE GIST
: Tired of being single, David Thorpe started analyzing his life and assigned part of the blame to his gay-sounding voice. He set out to try and modify it, interviewing experts in the field, as well as celebrities in the LGBT+ community to pick their brains on the causes and origins of the gay-voice and what their thoughts about it are.

Do I Sound Gay? is a pretty interesting documentary about a topic I've actually been wondering myself many times, given that I also sound gay without consciously choosing to and with no real power to modulate or modify it.

THE BOTTOM LINE: There certainly is such a thing as a gay-voice, even though it's obviously not 100% efficient at identifying gay people, so if you're curious, check this out. Ultimately, the core message is a positive one.
