Just listen from 2:00 to 2:30 and you’ll get a taste of it. It’s certainly not Geneva code torture, but it’s not enjoyable. As the speech continues, she shouts more, and her voice gets scratchier with odd instances of anger. By 6:30, her voice is seriously deteriorating. Trying to shout over her joyful supporters, she makes it worse. Before and after minute 11:00, as she begins shouting again, the midwestern accent and vocal chord damage are noticeable. The end, around 13:30, is borderline excruciating.
Like many other people, Hillary’s voice becomes less engaging the louder she speaks. And for some reason she frequently gets angry when giving victory speeches. Even Donald “I Insult Like An Emotionally Scarred 3rd Grader Who Misses His Mommy” Trump usually, if not always, switches to “somewhat decent” during his victory speeches.
Some of the millions of people watching Hillary last week noticed that she seemed angry while claiming victory. The friends I was with began discussing the pterodactyl (likely as a result of this funny and super short Maria Bramford sketch that you should listen to). I suggested she was unbearable to listen to (here and here, previously here). When I made comments, both male and female Twitter followers responded, mostly in agreement.
