I don't understand your question. I never heard him in person, if that's what you're referring to. He's sounded about the same to me in all of the recordings I've heard. You get an hour or so of it in the 1939 game broadcast. I've never thought of it as particularly unusual, just a high-pitched voice, no doubt surprising to some people coming from such a big guy, but I'm not sure there's any actual "normal" correlation between the two. As I mentioned, just listen to some Will Rogers if you to hear another example of what I believe to be more of a regional accent than some sort of freaky timbre.
