Interesting study from 2012 found that people with deeper voices are more likely to be perceived as leaders. Vocal pitch could play a significant role in electoral outcomes, and may be one reason women are less likely to obtain leadership roles in society. http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/279/1738/2698 …

Absolutely. I think that's why the only solution is to make people aware of the kinds of biases that affect their judgement of leadership candidates.

If we compensated for it by changing voices, after people normalise to the change, real voices may thn seem even less pronounced than before
