Can You Tell Someone’s Age From Their Voice Only?
can we guess a person's age if we only hear their voice let's talk about that Good Mythical Morning how well do you think that you could match a stranger to their disembodied voice research a study conducted by psychologists at Nottingham Trent University oh that's my favorite Trent University yeah the Nottingham one but they found that a majority of subjects were actually pretty good at looking at somebody hearing a voice separately and matching them together correctly yeah so I wonder do we have that human magic well and beyond all that I mean what other details about a stranger are hidden deep within their voice because I've always said that the voice is the fingerprint of the throat you know never heard you say that yeah I said well I say it a lot maybe I just say it in my sleep that's why we've gathered up a bunch of strangers and we're fixing to dust for throat prince it's time for how much can you glean from somebody's voice are they tall are they old are they from Illinois welcome to the choiciest voiciest Zone all right each round we're gonna meet a new lineup of strangers and compete to see if we can identify a person or a particular trait of a person like their height age or face based solely on their voice this should be fun our first lineup is already out look at those guys what are the voices they have voices uh the winner is going to receive an advanced voice modulation technology oh wow I'm excited Stevie I see these people here what do we do with them yes please say hello to our lovely lineup of folks in front of you uh you may briefly get to know these strangers although reminder they can't talk to you and then you will put on your blindfolds as one of them steps to the microphone to say a line we've written for them you may each then ask the mystery person one generic question before making your guesses as to who you think that voice belongs to so go ahead and familiarize yourselves with the lineup can you each kind of just like wave like you're trying to get more attention hello Cody hello Sebastian hello Brendan hello Kalo Kayla we'll find out later I I can see I can see that they could all have the same voice I think that's maybe the point I don't know oh gosh yeah okay oh I mean you guys are icing us out let me do hold on let me just let me just take it in a little bit more okay uh uh okay as you can see we can't yes that will The Chosen person please step forward and say their line will tickle my thorax and call me Sally I didn't know it was your birthday well that wasn't anything to say tickle my thorax and call me Sally I didn't know it was your birthday okay uh I can't see your I feel like I learned something about that voice it's very enthusiastic yeah like I feel like this guy could sell me something he could talk me into like signing a unfavorable contract you know what I'm saying okay uh person I would like uh you to answer the following question tell me your favorite movie but just tell me the plot of your favorite movie without telling me what the movie is so there's a boat and it's cold and Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio and there's it's a big tragedy so but I didn't want to like bring up that point bring the energy down and be really upsetting spoilers right yeah okay I believe he is talking about Titanic okay um here's my question uh person with a voice um let's say hypothetically I just got six new dogs congratulations yeah thank you thank you um in alphabetical order what should I name them one two oh three four five and six keep it easy short and simple okay all right that's that's CR that's cryologic yeah that's that's it's a different thing I gotta tell you person with a voice um I've done a lot of unintentionally unsmart things on this show but uh so welcome welcome to my ranks you know we're in this together okay you've asked your questions will the person please step back into the lineup you may now remove your blindfolds and it's time to guess whose face the voice you just heard came out of uh uh wow I know who I don't think it is I feel strongly that I'm eliminating one person okay I feel the same way I'm pretty sure it's not Sebastian that's what I was yeah it's like something about Sebastian he that it couldn't be him okay okay I want to know your percent confidence okay I went with a 50 confidence on Brendan a 30 confidence on kylo and a 20 confidence on Cody I think it's Brendan as well will the person we heard the Kevin Carlo please step forward yes we got instincts man how do we do that I mean nothing about the expression on your face like gave anything away you were really good Poker Face all of you were for me it was a it was a total Instinct thing right when you began talking I pictured you when did it hit you because it literally three words in is when I was like I think that's Brendan no I I didn't remember what they looked like I had to look at him afterward and decide oh really on the back end so Cody let's hear your voice hi this is my voiceover yeah let's hear your voice what's up um oh yeah I guess that was a little different huh that wasn't what I was picturing but just something about that voice because I knew it wasn't you and Carlo you were my second is it Kalo yeah yes great uh this is my voice Kalo you guys could you could give each other's voice a run for its money yeah you guys could trade voices and nobody would notice you ever need a voice double okay guys this round is exactly the same as the last one only this time you've got an all new lineup you may now get to non-verbally know the strangers in front of you look at them wow can each of you as we go down the line just give like a a non-verbal hello but like it like a total nonchalant board like too cool for school kind of uh non-verbal gesture Mariah face hello oh okay that was done yeah that yeah that was I was understated Olivia oh hey wow it's the second point oh okay we're getting an idea of some personality that helps kedara a little punk rock okay and Madeline oh just a very very nice just a very subtle nod this is this is a group I would just love to hang out with no matter what their voices are yeah all right so we're gonna blindfold up mm-hmm as you can see we can again okay well the person who we've chosen please step forward and say they're pre-written line I was raised by a bunch of clowns in a sewer but I have no sense of humor isn't that ironic uh well I'll have to think about that one I was listening to a bunch of clowns in a sewer but I don't have a sense of humor isn't that ironic the deleted lyrics from uh Alanis Morissette's big hit ironic okay you with a voice um can you tell me something you're really afraid of I'm afraid of spiders and why they have too many legs six too many huh yeah okay voiced person um pretend for a moment that I am Ronald McDonald and you have my undivided attention that's not hard to do and if you uh are trying to make a convincing case for why ball pits should be put back in every McDonald's location well they're fun for the kids they're fun for the adults you just address me as Mr McDonald Mr McDonald you know these ball pits you can find lots of secret goodies in them there's always something at the bottom you know there's lots of kids dropping things you can always find a cool little ring or earrings and you always have a prize to take home yeah it was definitely dropped little goodies I don't know from where though okay I I feel pretty good okay person you can step back into the line all right you may now remove your blindfolds okay yeah yeah I got this one in the bag I don't have 100 confidence there was someone that I thought initially instinctively and then my guess changed over time I don't know what I should go with the initial instinct or what it became over time mine was confirmed over time all right let's see what you guessed kandara definitely so no doubt I said kadara you did was my initial and then over time that changed to Mariah faith okay will the person who said the line please step forward so how why were you so confident and you were wrong bro I don't know I'm not confident anymore he had was me it was me yeah it was specifically it was specifically when you talked about the little goodies that were hidden in the ball pit at that point I was like that sounds just like Mariah face something that she would say I think the nonchalant greeting at the beginning really threw me off with Mariah faith I thought you were so nonchalant but then you were so expressive yeah uh yeah she's a little sneaky all right you can you can head back there let's hear these other voices Olivia hey what's up what's up okay what's up that's a voice I love your voice too thank you yeah and you know what it's kind of what I would expect from you yeah I I do voiceover so okay that's a Vibe okay kidara kadara what on Earth is your voice hey wow okay that was what's up oh okay this is my voice Madeline I can't follow that up but yeah hi I'm yep that's this is what do you do for fun Madeline huh what do you do for fun uh I like to cosplay oh what what's what characters uh I like to do little niche characters like I did Bernard from the Santa Claus and muscle I know is there a voice that goes with Bernard like uh try to understand this wow I love this town this doesn't happen in Fuquay what the okay are we about to be robbed by the Teletubbies The Wiggles The Wiggles are goodness what Stevie what is happening well this round we're gonna see if you can accurately judge a person's height based only on their voice the scientific jury is still out on the strength of that correlation however Studies have shown that there are correlations between faces and height which is why everyone in this new lineup is wearing a lovely ski mask we don't want anything corrupting our scientific study so in this round very scientific after hearing a pre-written line from every member of the lineup your job will be to identify which two people are under five foot six inches tall two people two people so line up please go ahead and speak your lines now wouldn't it be Neato if Danny DeVito liked the occasional Cheeto yeah yes it would I like to think he does and that is Neato wouldn't it be Neato if Danny DeVito posed in a speedo no it would not oh be Neato Jackie wouldn't it be Neato if Danny DeVito killed a mosquito now that's a voice for radio there you go but that's that's a morning traffic voice yeah that's yeah on the 405 stay away from that take the back streets oh okay Vance would it be Neato if Danny DeVito slept in a tuxedo much better than a speedo yeah wow I think you like me are probably relatively confident that you can name one person that's under five six the question is who's the other one that's under five six comment you look so angry you know I'm holding some resentment in towards him it's personal thank you thank you for that I've got my guesses man two people under five six right two people under five six and you're gonna get a point for each person's height you can guess correctly which means there's two points up for grabs this round okay okay go ahead link okay I said Kathy I feel very confident about Kathy but then you know what I went with the silky smooth deeper voice of Jackie yeah I couldn't decide between Jackie or Vance me neither under but I did I think the advance is five five and Kathy is five two just because I thought that's what you were asking for all right we're gonna do this if if the lineup will please take off your masks first I'm gonna need a hair brush I think or not look at you lovely people okay now we're going to drop the curtain oh it's dropping it's dropping and who whose crotch are we gonna see first looks like Vance's and then oh my gosh is it Kathy yes yes I was right you got it right I was right how tall are you Kathy five foot one and three quarters oh five two I'm counting that Vance right at five and a half by five and a half okay all right hey so I mean I'm not gonna take the extra credit but that was also pretty impressive and and and look at look at Jackie's a ginger well it was deep voice the funny thing that was happening to me is it's such a weird thing that happens as you see like where differently like you're like okay shoulders and you're like oh belt and they're like oh still no belt that was fascinating yeah I'd like to see that every day yeah just four people just being printed in 1998. laughs hey do you want to Rhett and Link
