It falls between 1 kHz and 10 kHz (with the lowest noise falling at the lower end of the spectrum). One hertz is 1 oscillation per second, and 1 kilohertz (kHz) is 1,000 oscillations per second. Pitch is measured in hertz, which is the number of times per second that a soundwave oscillates. Like us, many species of animals also find lower male mating calls the most attractive. A number of studies over the past decade indicate that the males of some species have been forced to forgo their sexy deep voices-sometimes by as much as 300 hertz, because they can’t be heard above the ever-growing din of our factories, freeways, and machines. But the Cumberbatches of the animal kingdom aren’t as lucky. Fortunately, Cumberbatch doesn’t need to artificially raise the pitch of his voice. And if we think of the human voice as a mating call, Cumberbatch’s lushly low voice is the paragon.īut imagine how much of his appeal would be lost if he raised the pitch of his voice by 300 hertz.Īt this higher register, Cumberbatch sounds more like Elijah Wood of The Hobbit, whose voice has been compared to a flute. A 2007 study of modern hunter-gatherers in Tanzania (who don’t have access to modern birth control) found that men with low-pitched voices had more children born to them. A sonorous voice may also indicate good reproductive health. Studies show that women tend to be attracted to men with deep voices because it signals a large physical frame and social dominance. You’re welcome.”įrom the perspective of physical anthropology, the commotion over Cumberbatch’s voice is not surprising. There is even a Facebook page devoted to his mellifluous timbre where fans join together “because we love his voice.” And if the sex appeal of his register wasn’t clear enough already, consider the popular meme that depicts a reclining Cumberbatch with the words, “Yes, my voice gets women pregnant. It resonates rich and deep, “like a jaguar in a cello,” wrote journalist Caitlin Moran. A catchy tune with simple lyrics combined with Maddie Ziegler’s dance steps will sure have you trotting around like a happy pony or possibly teary eyed depending on how you connect with the movie.ĭirected by Jayson Thiessen, My Little Pony: The Movie also features the voices of Emily Blunt, Zoe Saldana, Kristin Chenoweth, Liev Schreiber, Michael Peña, and Taye Diggs.Some people are confounded by actor Benedict Cumberbatch’s heartthrob status and compare his looks to an otter, bread dough, or an alien from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The soundtrack is bound to have any listener or movie goer hooked. Released on September 19, the song has already received over 4,886,146 views. Complete with Sia’s signature hairdo, with black and blonde bangs, Songbird Serenade encounters the Mane 6 (lead characters), Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Flutter Shy in the movie, set to release in October.Īfter touching heartstrings with the Wonder Woman soundtrack, ‘To Be Human,’ this time around the songstress has added a touch of melancholy to the sparkle of the My Little Pony universe with the song ‘Rainbow’. In the soon to be released ‘My Little Pony: The Movie,’ Sia makes her animated debut as Equestria’s (fictional kingdom in the MLP universe) very own pop sensation, ‘Songbird Serenade.’Īlthough Sia does not play herself in the movie, her inner pony definitely is a character that is hard to miss. If you ever wondered how Sia would look as an animated singing pony, your wait is over. So imagine my excitement when I found out that one of my favourite artists, Sia has been roped in to appear in the new My Little Pony Movie, due to release on October 5. The series spanning several pony generations over the years has always featured themes and musical numbers that could enthral kids and adults alike. The series featured a variety of coloured ponies with unique symbols called cutie marks on their flanks, representing their character or abilities. One of the most famous series and one of my favourites during the time was My Little Pony, a cartoon that came out in the late 80’s. For those of us who grew up between the 80s and 90s, cartoons formed an important part of our binge watching routines during those days.
