I don't believe that flexibility of voice leads to flexibility in all things. The word "all" can return to haunt the lazy fact-checker, so I will replace it with "most." Flexibility in voice allows or a person to put on or inherit a variety of masks. I once saw an interview on The O'Reilly Factor (yes, fox. My defense is that it pays to know what the enemy is up to) involving Marilyn Manson. I have though, akin to most people, that Marilyn Manson is out. of. his. mind crazy. However, during the interview Manson was quiet, well-spoken, and obviously intelligent. I think that even Mr. O'Reilly was taken aback and had to regroup himself and his questions. The show made me think of Dave Chappelle's quote of "people label you crazy when they can't understand you." This interview showed about as well as anything that a person with an articulate voice can be flexible in many different roles of life.
