"  How come some people sound hot? Like you can tell they&amp;#039;re attractive just by the sound of their voice. Jean Berko Gleason, coauthor of Psycholinguistics and professor emerita at Boston University, tells Answer Fella, &amp;quot;There are a couple of qualities that are generally agreed upon that are attractive in voices. One is a lack of nasality. Nasality means that when you&amp;#039;re speaking, you&amp;#039;re using your nasal cavity as a resonator. &amp;quot;Another is fundamental frequency \u2014 how high or how low your voice is. In general, women find men with lower voices more attractive. A male whose voice is relatively low sounds virile. I don&amp;#039;t know what people like in women&amp;#039;s voices, but certainly nasal voices are kind of a joke. There are famous women with relatively low voices, too \u2014 husky voices \u2014 that people find sexy. A high voice doesn&amp;#039;t betoken fertility in a woman.&amp;quot; Vocal coach Renee Grant-Williams, the author of Voice Power: Using Your Voice to Captivate, Persuade, and Command Attention and How to Fill the Entire Cover of a Book with a Single Subtitle, agrees, adding, &amp;quot;A low, husky voice is what you wake up with in the morning, and it suggests the bedroom, sexual exertion, and sexual desire. It&amp;#039;s true of men and women. A generally attractive voice is a voice that is considered to be rich, deep, and comforting.&amp;quot; AF notes that the husky voice he wakes up with in the morning belongs to Mrs. Fella, whose stony grunts are both rich and deep but rarely comforting.
