that go far beyond the words themselves. Avariety of voice qualities convey feeling, moods

and attitudes.

When George Bush ran for president in 1988, hehired a voice coach to help him lower his voice an

octave. Why? Because the candidate's high-pitched voice had helped saddle him with the"wimp" image, even though Bush had proved his

valor as a Navy combat pilot during World War II.
