Is Your Voice the Result of Nature or Nurture?
11 March 2016
Have you ever wondered about the sound of your own voice? Does your voice sound similar to the voices of your parents or other relatives? And does that mean we can predict the voices of related people?
We are a team of multidisciplinary researchers asking questions about the role of nature and nurture in determining human voice and trying to find answers.. To do that, we need your help! Please take part in this quick and easy study and win an Amazon voucher for your time :)
