An American that sounds like an American seems natural to me. The fake voice on Stacey is far worse.
Does Kaylas voice annoy anyone...

Very interesting. Is it just me or is the pitch very squeaky? there's a woman at work with a similar nails down the blackboard tone and I have to leave the staff room when she's there, like Kayla she seems nice enough but sets my teeth on edge-is this normal or is my hearing part-canine?
She is hot stuff, but her accent really grates on me. Some American accents can be lovely, but hers is just horrible!
And yes, I am a bloke!

I think Stacey's voice is more irritating..'tho sometimes she does 'forget' to to talk like Roland Rat..Must be when she thinks there's no cameras on her

Yes I think so too...
I'm probably guilty of stereotyping in that I expected to dislike them both, particularly Kayla, but I've really warmed to her.
... besides which she is rather decorative too

Well I am. Sigh. She is an extravagantly pretty girl, and seems sweet and likeable. But her voice is awful. Please could we not have sly hints that anyone who ever says a syllable against a pretty girl can only be motivated by jealousy. Boring.

No - I don't think you're a dog!
Some people have naturally high, squeaky (as we say in the trade!!) or grating voices.
There are 2 main reasons for this - (scuse the lecture) - it's a bit complicated but the vocal 'folds' (2 muscular flaps which vibrate together to make sound) sometimes don't touch properly, either because of little lumps, or the breath is too weak or some other physical reason
The main factor in Kayla I think though is the way she uses her resonators - that's mouth, throat, chest etc
She uses her top resonators (mouth, throat) without any chest sounds. In her case that little child's voice has always prompted people to please her or look after her, so she's kind of never grown up to use her resonators in an adult way.
That's very over simplified and I'm a bit rusty now but that kind of sums it up!

"wipes face dry with a warm towel"
Thankuyou for that 'lovely' welcome Manda, I was nearly as wet as Stacey would be if you were to carry out your nefarious plan.
But how could you be cruel to her, it'd be like kicking a puppy?

That's the fault of TV editors deciding not to show much of them. I hardly think it's their fault.

Am I right in thinking Margaret Thatcher had some speech therapy early on in her political career because her voice was very high pitched? Perhaps it was thought to be too childlike for the reasons you have given.

extravagantly pretty? I think not...The likes of Sofia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Angelina Jolie etc are "extravagantly" pretty, Kayla is just your average girl with reasonably average face that exercises regularly and thus keeps her body in shape. If I saw her in the street, I certainly wouldn't look twice.

Yes, you're right about her having voice lessons! One of my colleagues 'did' her!!
But she had it because her voice was too light and lacking in resonance to be authoritative enough. She had to sound more like a man!!!!
when I started news reading, womens' voices were deemed to lacking in authority as well!
For some reason a deeper voice is seen as more trustworthy! HA!!!!
I like Kayla and have never had a problem with her voice! Wish she'd get given a tough bush tucker trial though, then we can see what she's made of - she's had it pretty easy so far, and could end up being voted off without really facing anything.

Her voice annoys me a little bit, not enough to dislike her though, that would be silly. She's harmless otherwise, and seems nice.
