  Pitch contributes to how high or low the voice sounds.  It is measured in Hertz.  Childrens voices typically have the highest pitch, mens voices the lowest pitch and womens voices are between the two ranges.
  Speed controls the words spoken per minute.  A fast speaking rate is often associated with high levels of emotion.
  Volume controls the loudness of the voice.
  Head size controls one aspect of the deepness of the voice.  The larger the head, the deeper the voice.
  Pitch fluctuation.  A large pitch fluctuation is characteristic of an excited speaker.  A small pitch fluctuation typifies a monotone voice.
