trailer for "Do I Sound Gay?"

It's easy to change your voice. Changing your body movements is much harder.

See also the film's official site for another trailer

This navel gazing crap is getting slaughtered in the reviews. Should have never gotten a theatrical release.

It's funny. Most of us on DL sound gay whether we're speaking or typing.

bump

Seeing it with a friend this weekend. Also hoping to see Robin Williams' "Boulevard".

A friend from a former life sounded perfectly normal in one on one conversations, but if we went to a gay party (all gay men) or to a gay bar, his voice went up by an octive or two, and went all sing-songy, and was totally "gay voice". It was COMPLETELY fake and affected. 'HEEEEYYYYYYYY GUUUUURLLLLL!' and all that crap.

I never understood why he did that. I've never done that. It's so weird to me.

Gay men need voice lessons

Thought the movie was pretty good, but it didn't really explain much .......... is it who you hung out with as a kid ? is it who you hang out with as a gay adult ? I had a hard time 'recognizing' some of the 'gay voices' (and, trust me, I have one !) ........... they said that studies show that only 60 % of the time is a man identified correctly as gay or straight based on his voice. There were a couple straight guys included that had a 'gay voice'.

The director guy went through a whole process to try and change his voice and ultimately comes to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter (although heavily acknowledging the 'no femme' stuff within the gay community)

Had a lot of 'heavy hitters' contributing .......Tim Gunn, George Takei, David Sedaris, Margaret Cho, Dan Savage.

I'd recommend it as a matinee or an on demand flick.

R9 I think we subconsciously adopt the speaking patterns of women.
