I agree. I dont get why people get outraged over it either. Yes, having deeper voice makes people take you more seriously. Works with students, bosses, colleagues.

Using deeper voice as a result is like putting on suit and making your hair - adjusting yourself to societal biases.

The issue with Holmes is not voice or cloth or whatever. It is fraud, lies and lack of care about harm she caused.

Because she faked her deeper voice and choosing to do that constantly is very creepy and weird.

It's because it's creepy. Simple as that really.

It goes back to the parent poster’s question of whether or not she was doing it to manipulate people or if she genuinely looked up to Steve Jobs enough to want to emulate him down to his pitch.

		I dont buy either framing. There is nothing better about immitating Jobs. And using deeper voice is no worsr then putting on cloth to impress. Or using makeup to impress. If people are irrationally taking deeper voices more serious, using deeper voice is not some kind of evil manipulation. People with higher pitch are not unserious, only treated that way a bit more. Your deeper voice is not making you more valid or serious in any way. Yes, it is advantage. It is ok to mimic it to get equal advantage.
