Sometimes, there are people who say a particular person doesn’t sound like the typical man/woman when he/she talks. But we need to know what is considered the typical man’s/woman’s voice.
I believe the voice of Douglas Rain (the narrator heard in the video below) is what’s considered the typical man’s voice: World War 2: The Politics Of Fear (Russian German War) - YouTube
I believe the voice of Majel Barrett (yes, the dark haired woman in the video below) is what’s considered the typical woman’s voice: Majel Barrett in The Lucy Show (1962) - YouTube
To make it simple:
The typical man sounds like Douglas Rain.
The typical woman sounds like Majel Barrett.
Anyone disagree with this?
I don’t know whether to agree or disagree, because I never know what the hell you’re talking about.
If the typical woman sounded like Majel Barrett I would wall up my earholes for good.
I believe the typical woman sounds like Chaka Khan.

Bumping the thread to the top so people can see it.
Yes, those are American accents, for a start. Even if you’re talking about timbre and tone, I don’t see how there can even be a ‘typical’ amid the massive variety that exists out there.
I’m surprised this thread hasn’t gotten many replies.
Maybe this woman would be a better example of a typical voice?

Usually once is enough…
It’s not a huge thing, but don’t make this a habit, please. Sometimes threads just don’t gain much traction.
It’s really a nonsense question. No single voice can cover the range of human variation. Bumping the thread isn’t going to change that.
I eagerly await your next fascinating OP that seeks opinions on the merits of plastic vs metal aglets.
Vacated. Remanded… somewhere else.
Well, their voices certainly sound like typical male and female computers.
Added to toss some lighter fuel on the fire.
