Is This Michael Jackson’s REAL Voice?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fitty and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Question that I just want to throw out there.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Do you would you go and get voice therapy if
you had a high pitched voice?

Speaker 4 (00:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I think you would like if you if you spoke
like that? Is that?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Is that a decision that you make? Or can you
go and see someone or a therapist? I don't know
if you can do anything about that. Has anyone ever
had their voice altered?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't know. Is it a thing?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Well, well I think it is because there's a viral video.
There's a viral video going around. You're going to hear
three voices here, right, You're going to hear the guy
with a high pitched voice.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Now he's he's broke, he's got broken English. Here, whip.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Then you will hear the voice therapist, okay, And then
you'll see what the voice therapist has done and how
he's changed.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
This guy, how he's changed this guy's voice. Have a listener. Look,
my name is Arenda Russ, twenty two years old. I
have voice problem after therapy. For example, no, I gave
voice course. Now I am clean good.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
I'm clean good. I think it's I think it's speech training.
And not a change in his voice. I think he's
using a different breathing technique to talk.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Let's have a listen to his original high pitched voice.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Now this is after speech therapy.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I get.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Voice, see now, I I it's weird.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Do you make the decisions to talk high in the
first place?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I think he did.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
I think he's chosen to, and then he's fallen into
the habit of it and he's need to retrain to
get the normal voice that for some reason hasn't appeared.
Remember the famous interview, and it's been it's been a
v I don't know if it's in the system, jess
or snitch if you can grab it. It's a video
fits and I don't know how real it is. But
he's a TV show. I've seen it and the guys

(02:06):
the host is interviewing a guy who's lost his testicles.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I think, no, no, I don't think he lost it.
I think he just had a high pitched voice, didn't he.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
But when the.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Guy goes to speak about the tragedy that he's had
and his voice is so high, the guy hosting the
show can't control his laughter after and it's one of
those you should not be laughing at this moment in time.
It's like a German or Swedish.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Due and Eric Hartman, who was the TV host got
in a lot of got sacked.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
He lost his job and what was wrong with the
guy who was being interviewed.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
As with his plums or something.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, I'm just finding out now.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Well, actually just on this the other way around, because
I don't know if you've seen this with but this
was released recently from a a show that Michael Jackson
did in the Netherlands. Now this is Michael Jackson on
stage and they're saying that this was his real voice.
But when he spoke he went into a higher pitch

(03:15):
and it was all part of really acts with Michael Jackson.
But having listened to him on the microphone at a
live gig, this is how he really sounded.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Like they say, one day must understand.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
You can must vomit to man sent.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
And that he did so. So he did have a
deeper voice and then he would just choose, but he
chose to talk in a higher pitch.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
That is.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's funny because I was wondering that is is that
a decision that the individual makes themselves?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I think, is that the way that you just talk
could be part of the act.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
I mean, naturally you do hear jockeys because there's small statute.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
It wouldn't make sense.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Have we got that grab?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I should have just gone since would be Eric Hartman
laughing at his guests on this Belgian TV show.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Just Water Baker, how good it needs to and it
was its real footage. The host couldn't stop laughing. I

(04:44):
think the worst thing is what do you try not
to laugh?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
The worst thing is that the audience, the live audience.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
In the background is not laughing at it.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
But he's lost it, and I reckon, he's got the
whole control room it easy laughing along with him. What
a moment?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Can we put that?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
So?
