What is this voice?

This might be IMHO. Since Hillary Clinton is involved, it might turn into a debate. But what I really want to know is if there is a specific ‘name’ for a certain type of voice.

The example that comes immediately to mind is HRC reminiscing about being a little girl. She gets this wistful, sing-song, far-away voice that is supposed to show how deeply those halcyon days of her childhood still affect her. If I were directing a film I’d tell the actor I didn’t believe him. Sounds like acting.

So is there a name for this ‘technique’?

Think you hit it on the first swing, there.

I thought there might be a name for the rhetorical device.

Some folks refer to it as b.s.

uh, make that http://youtube.com/watch?v=viVAAy_qkx0
