A skill I've picked up over the years working insurance sales is shifting my voice to suit the person I'm speaking with. Different tones and inflections for different sorts. I speak differently to an older lady than I do to a newly retired man, for example. It fits what they expect and respond best to. My shapeshifter gene at work again

Along with recently discovering in my own speech patterns a self-annoying minor case of upspeak when engaged in social pleasantries, particularly with higher-ups, I've also noticed I take on a much deeper Expert Voice very like a 'boss man' one as needed. I have no idea where it came from, but it is quite useful when I am making full-stop factual assessments to co-workers (incl. bosses), especially when they don't want to hear what I have to say. That, I'm keeping. Now to get rid of the damn annoying high-pitched silly crap.

Aye. The Bene Gesserit training comes in handy sometimes, doesn't it?
