discussion Gay voice 62% accuracy survey says.

Previous research has identified a range of perceptual voice and speech features that differ between gay and straight men, enabling listeners to determine if a man is gay or straight at a rate better than chance from his voice alone. To date, no published studies have examined if bisexual men's voices differ from gay and straight men's voices with regard to perceived masculinity-femininity - nor whether listeners can identify a bisexual man based only on his voice. In the present study, we examined if listeners could identify bisexual men's sexual identities from voice recordings. Seventy participants (N= 70) rated 60 voice recordings of a sample of 20 gay, 20 bisexual, and 20 straight Australian men on perceived sexual orientation and degree of masculinity-femininity. Participants could correctly categorize the sexual orientations of the gay and straight speakers at rates greater than chance, but bisexual men were only identified at chance. Bisexual voices were consistently misperceived as being the most exclusively female attracted, and, contrary to expectations, were perceived as the most masculine sounding of all the speakers. Together, these findings suggest that while the voices of bisexual men in our sample were perceived as more masculine and female attracted, listeners do not associate this impression with bisexuality, and thus cannot identify bisexual men from their voices. Consequently, while bisexual men appear to be at lower risk of facing voice-based identification and discrimination than gay men, they may be often misperceived as being straight.

In one Canadian study, listeners correctly identified gay speakers in 62% of cases.^[17] A Stanford University experiment analyzed the acoustics of eight males (four straight and four gay), who were recorded reading passages, through the perception of listener-subjects and tasked these listeners with categorizing speakers by adjectives corresponding to common U.S. stereotypes of gay men.^[24] The listeners were generally able to correctly identify the sexual orientation of the speakers, reflecting the stereotypes. However, there were no statistically significant differences the listeners identified, if they existed at all, based on intonation.^[24] These findings are representative of other studies as well.^[26]

For the rest of 38% they did not see the body language overwise it would be over 90% accurate .

no more speaking for me

[I Melt Away]

Not a research on clocking omg

[Aethereal]

Gays who want a masc only  date will have to stick to 10% of the 5%. 

[Jon Snow]

well, those were the people that openly identify as gay. there are a lot of those that are closeted and if they were included (which they obviously wouldn't be), I believe that the percentage would be lower. they would sound much more muscular, because they give their best to be perceived that way

 

all of those included are the people that socialize with other gays, where they speak the way it's unique to queer culture, and they say it in certain tone that's recognizable

 

there's no such thing as gay gene, too

I've started checking the interviews of gay porn stars there is definitely something  that screams gay 9/10 of the times. Even if they voice is not gay still the voice is never strictly deep and butch at most it is a neutral like an english YT speaker but there is also the body language. There were only three gays that did not pass the gay test based on my patterns.

It’s funny cause even the most masc, hardcore, deep voiced gays still have a little bit of a twang to their voices 90% of the time. It’s almost as if maybe they were destined to sprout as females in the womb but somehow last minute mother nature had a change of plans but some of the early seeds still stuck, hence attraction towards males and feminine traits even if they were the most manliest males in the community.

i feel like its a combination of voice, gay lisp, and body language. not solely just their voice.

Aside from clothing and make up, Lil Nas does not have the gay mannerisms or the gay voice and he turned out to be bisexual later.

Also gay face. That’s usually the dead give away.

bye not a research article on clocking a sissy 

[Strawberry Bubble]

Yess, is the voice and body language

[Illuminati]

There's people like Ben Shapiro that sound more feminine than I do. The average straight voice probably only sounds different because gays are more likely to embrace what their natural voice is

Ben's voice kinda sounds more childish than feminine. 

[airplane]

straight men fake their voices btw.

[Orsay]

Does this account for the guys (gay bi and straight tbh) that push their voice to its lowest possible register to sound more masc? That always cracks me up cause it’s so obvious

I guess you've been watching the more recent p*rn stars interviews? Lol. I mean, at least in my opinion the vintage p*rn stars were a lot more indistinguishable from straight men, from the '70s til the '90s. And even in the 2000s, studios like S*ean Cody and C*rbin Fisher had really normal looking dudes in them. Look up some of the old stuff. (And sorry for the censoring of words, lol. Probably not needed, but i put the ** in there anyway.) It seems like today the studios prefer more openly queer people. And ofc all the Twitter gays are starting Onlyfans pages, lol. So I would not say that 90% of gay men are feminine, not really. And certainly not the bisexual guys. If you've ever used Grindr you know there's a lot of closeted people that are more discreet. I feel like media skews people's ideas of what a gay person is supposed to be like, even among the gays. But if you're looking for a partner, don't be afraid to go talk to guys who you might think appear straight. You never know, he might be interested in you/guys.

I am bi and I think many men don’t understand what the difference between a masculine and feminine voice is. They focus too much on making their voice deep and it sounds fake. They completely ignore other aspects (e.g. where the sound resonates, the pounding inflection, the gestures coming from the upper core, so many other little differences).

 

I find both masculine and feminine voices attractive and love to listen to both so these differences are intuitively clear to me. But just trying to superficially change your voice to sound more masc or alpha doesn’t work.

70s gay porn interviews?

 

Lots of gay porn stars act masculine in the videos even during their speech/ talk only scenes but when you check the interviews it's different. Just a recent example I saw hours ago but I did not save the link.
