Description
Mohammad-Sadegh Seifpanahi and co-authors link voice traits to the depth of low mood in women, in a study from 2023. Thirty women in hospital care for major low mood and thirty healthy women gave speech samples. Mood depth was scored on a standard scale, and the team taped fine marks of the voice plus rhythm traits such as speed and pause length.
Some voice marks moved in step with mood depth, among them shake in pitch, spread of base tone, speech speed, and pause length. Two marks set the ill group apart from the healthy group as a whole. Raters who judged speech by ear agreed with each other at a high rate. Cheer tone lines proved the best test lines for judging mood from voice.
