Know any sing-song voices in Mormon hierarchy?
Don't know if this rings a bell, but Marvin J. Ashton. He conference talks were excurciating!
Several sounded rather robotic.
voice pattern. The sing-song voice is learned.
I use the sing-song voice when I read versus of scripture at the pulpit as a Lutheran lector. Members of the congregation love it. They focus and listen to what I am saying.
I view scripture as song and mentally connect the words when I read it aloud.

I use it at work to talk to people and take messages on the phone.

However, I've been accused of lecturing people when I'm just sharing whatever exciting obsession I have at the time. Apparently my autistic voice pattern is rather dry and pendantic.

But I have a kid that's *different* enough the school district recommended a screening when he was young. The screeners asked a lot of pointed questions regarding his ability to *pretend*.
They said if I told them he could *pretend* then they would skip the autism section of the screening. Since he was pretending to be a pirate during the eye exam (when they covered one eye with a black spoon) everyone decided it wasn't a problem.
Since pretending to be a "prophet, seer and revelator" is part of their job description, I'm going to go out on a limb and say I don't think any of the GA's are autistic.

Maybe, for some Autistics, but, my son before High School years has always had a very high-pitched and hard to listen to voice. It would have been Less Painful to have Holes drilled into my head with screwdriver!!! That and used to talk Constantly!! He doesn't talk constanly anymore, but he never went through the Voice Change boys ususally go through. And his voice is still high-pitched, but very thankfully nowhere near as high-pitched as he used to be. As far as carrying a tune, let's just say : thankfully the boy does not like to sing that much...
