Normal voice vs High-Pitched

[Jeebus]

Disagree. I work with dogs and I've had 100+ pound dogs bark in a high octave and 20 pound beagles bellow a deep bark. The guitar string and musical instrument concept is irrelevant to compare to vocal cords due to their physical makeup. There would be an abnormal sound to the tiny's voice as she would have to speak or yell because the relative distance from, say the floor to your ears while standing up would be like yelling across a football field. But the pitch wouldn't be greatly affected.

I had a Maine Coon cat that was higher-pitched than a Tabby half its size. Regardless, that has nothing on a human-sized vocal cavity reduced to 1/8 its size. The musical instrument analogy definitely rings true, as human vocals are just a wind instrument. I don't think your opinion is based in science

But the factor of 8 is already the size difference between normal non shrunken humans.
The idea that it works like fixed length instruments just doesn't hold true.

I am also more of a fan of physical realism when it comes to size changes. This includes keeping the voice normal. Peter Dinklage, at 4.4 ft (1.35 m), sounds normal too.

Your statements contradict themselves. But I'm no longer willing to argue "Fantasy science". If you want high pitched SW voices, so be it. The other side of the discussion will be continue with softer normal pitched SW voices.

Peter Dinklage has a normal sized head and torso. I don't think anyone fantasizes about achondroplasia.
You can bring in realism, but ultimately this is a fantasy.

Not going to lie, I genuinely forgot when I posted this question, but I'm sincerely glad to see how much nuance every has on the take of pitch/volume.

That's just my little two cents.
