I am the only person in a million years who would have this thought, but I think the underlying factor is the same one driving the autism epidemic. Autistics are about 1 sd weaker than normal and interestingly their weakness correlates with their autism.pic.twitter.com/oDJ41VAWS1
One of the ways people born after the onset of the autism epidemic resemble autistics is in the dulled emotional tone of their voices: they have a hard time sounding genuinely threatening when they need to be or charming or…any emotion really.
There are generational changes that everyone notices but never really talks about. When you listen to tape recordings of even average Joes from the 50’s or 60’s it’s remarkable how crisp and clear their diction is, whereas millennials slur together syllables like drunks.
When people notice this they tend to say things like “we need to start emphasizing enunciation just like the old schools did”, but again I think this is actually a cohort effect and you can tell by looking at elite talkers: sports broadcasters, talk show hosts, etc.
It used to be that just about every famous broadcaster had this rapidfire auctioneer’s patter: Chick Hearn, Vin Scully, Bob Uecker, Hot Rod Hundley or the best known example Johnny Carson. They could speak at incredible speed while never sacrificing emotional inflection.
You can also come up with hypotheses tracing this to the tv/radio imposition of the flat broadcaster voice, and the dying out of the last sing-song accents. We -know- an Irish brogue is beautiful, but it is not as efficient, and we have moved away from community singing.
But it looks like strong musical influence and frequent singing in the home around children (not electronic) can help them. I mean, just think how singing stimulates the vagus nervehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26578923/
