A woman's voice is normally high than of men. Women should be aware of their pitch, it it's too high listener may get easily irritated.
TIMBRE OR RESONANCE
Resonance is produced by vibration. Use your mouth, throat, and chest in voice production.
VOLUME
The degree of loudness and softness of voice. No matter how good what you have to say, you will not be able to communicate well if you talk so soft that the listener can't hear. Moderate volume is necessary for proper communication.
