Abstract
Males (169) and females (10) of mean age 25 years selected randomly from 2 theological seminaries read orally a passage from the Bible as if they were reading it in the pulpit on Sunday morning. The voices were judged as normal, harsh, nasal, or hoarse-breathy, and compared on the basis of scores on the Taylor anxiety scale. Persons with hoarse-breathy voices are more anxious than persons with normal voices and persons with harsh voices.Keywords
