Is there such a thing as “Sounding Black”?
I was watching Boston Legal on DVD, and in one episode, Shirley Schmidt chastises Denny, Crane telling him that there is “no such thing as sounding Black.”
Today, I heard a voice behind me. It was a voice of a woman whom I did not know, but her voice sounded similar to other Black people I have met and spoke with. It wasn’t her choice of words, but rather the intonations of her voice – the way her vocal chords produced sound waves?
I turned around, and I was right – she was in fact Black.
So was Shirley living a sheltered life, or is Political Correctness so far gone that we have to pretend something doesn’t exist?
Just as there are physical difference on the outside, which include bone structure and skin color (obviously) there does tend to be a sound difference as well. I am not talking about the use or not use of proper English, dialects, speech patterns or anything of that nature, but the actual sound.

Jersey Boys (2005 Original Broadway Cast Recording) $8.86 Although it squarely falls in the “jukebox musical” category, Jersey Boys doesn¹t try to integrate its songs in an artificial plotline. The show tells the story of the early-1960s group the Four Seasons, and the musical numbers tend to be introduced in context, as when songwriter Bob Gaudio comes up with a tune, or the quartet performs a show. This allows Jersey Boys to flow better than some of… |

Big Fish $5.83 After a string of mediocre movies, director Tim Burton regains his footing as he shifts from macabre fairy tales to Southern tall tales.

The Great Outdoors $3.50 This hit-and-miss 1988 comedy pairs John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in a story of one family’s summer vacation all but ruined by the uninvited appearance of another, more loutish family. Howard Deutch (Some Kind of Wonderful) directs from a half-hearted John Hughes script, which reduces Hughes’s jokes-and-epiphanies formula (The Breakfast Club, Home Alone) to true gaudiness. On the other hand, Annette … |
