There's Just Something About a Voice...Call Me American.
What is it that makes a woman go all gooey when she hears certain voices? Is there just something aesthetically inexplicable in certain timbres? In cadence? Is there something scientific that happens? When we think about the old adage--Beauty is in the eye of the beholder--does the same apply to voices? Does what sounds sexy to one, grate on the other? 
I, myself, am not sure about my own voice. I'm from Massachusetts. I have a gravelly voice that I find anything but mellifluous, the word monotone is not in my vocabulary, and I was kicked out of the radio program in college because I couldn't keep the needle in the middle of the Richter scale. Some say they find my voice sexy. I wonder about that! But studies have shown that males with deep voices are the most coveted. Erotic writer translation: Deep voices melt the panties right off of heterosexual women. Just look at one of the most sought-after narrators like Morgan Freeman, who admits: "The lower your voice is, the better you sound.”
Throw in a British accent for we American women and all bets are off. Suddenly, even the reading of a grocery list can make one weak in the knees. Eyes roll into the back of our heads, our legs cross and uncross trying to become comfortable against the little pulse that suddenly starts to beat in that one place, our faces flush with a heat that consumes us, and coherent, intelligent chit-chat? Wait? What were we talking about? Exactly.
Like any of our senses, the more we engage each one, the more aroused we become, women especially. We are sensory people. Give me a British accent, a spicy, masculine scent, the right touch in all the right places, a taste of sweet torture on my lips, and thoughtful, mysterious eyes, and I'm a goner. To illustrate the point, I recently had a small teaser read of Thorne: Rose's Dark Contract. I dare you to stay still while listening to it. And you just wait! He has done a full 10 minute scene of my next book, Thorne: Rose's Dark Awakening. My advice? Do not, I repeat, DO NOT listen to it on the way to work. You just may turn around and call out sick. ;)

Wow, I have to get me a British accent. Of course, that road goes two ways. I happen to have a fondness for Welsh accent myself. Especially when she says hmmm but that's a story I will tell you some other time. I always smile when I get the email notifying me of your posts. Thanks for the smiles, R.B. Hope to hear you soon.
