[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 320721, member: 57984"] Joan Crawford went around telling young actresses (at least the ones she didn't hate) to lower their voices -- the pitch, not the volume -- and practice by reading the phone book aloud in order to deepen the voice. Some of those actresses found this very useful. Maybe Missy should have passed Mommie Dearest's wisdom onto to Linda, because I've read on Youtube videos of (good) Season 2 scenes between Krystle & Alexis commenters mentioning how "deep" Krystle's voice is in contrast to the higher-pitched, airy voice they'd mostly remembered from her. I think all the producers had to tell her was to "relax" and speak more deeply, and the problems that eventually arose in her performance -- where she went from winning Golden Globes to being called "flimsy" in the press -- could have been avoided. But there was apparently no one there to do that, the showrunners just wanting Krystle to have affairs which Linda disapproved of. In any event, a simple deeper voice can add gravitas to an actor's presence, while wall-to-wall squeakiness doesn't.
