Why do Black people have to shout when they talk?, I sometimes think they are having an argument and are about to have a fight until I realise they are just having a polite conversation.
Have worked with scores of Black Americans for years. Have never noticed that -this shouting thing.
Maybe its a regional thing?, they certainly do over here, hurts my ears.
If you want to be tone deaf share a train carriage with Spaniards, loud rapid fire speach, not breaking for air. If you are unlucky enough to get into an elevator with them you will probably bleed from the ears. However it is not all of them, my uncle and cousins are quietly spoken.
I have never experienced such a contrast than when I went to Greece. There they value quietly spoken, well articulated. At one restaurant a large party of Spaniards rocked up, all hell broke loose.
Yes, Castilians are at least twice a loud as South/Central Americans in my experience.
I regularly encounter them on tube trips to a friend, as I pass them main terminus for the Eurostar. I swear I'm going to bring a decibel metre with me for the next occupation.
I usually don't buy into stereotypes but there is a grain of truth to this.
We get foreign language tours at work, I don't notice the Spanish having particularly loud and deep voices, but do they talk!,
I dont understand Spanish but either the Spanish groups get twice as much information as the other groups, or for every English word, the Spanish have to use three.
I wonder if the hotter a country is, the louder its indigenous population tend to talk?, maybe the hot air being thinner, doesn't transmit sound waves as well as cold dense air?
The talking I love to hear is Russian.
