Some things are talents, but others are skills. Someone with talent can do more than someone without. But someone with training can do more than they could before, too. Most people can learn to pitch their voice. It's something I teach covenmates so we can hear them calling Quarters. Any vocal or theatrical club can teach their version. It's worth learning.

Awesome. :D

Sooth. It's nice that Loudmouth had both the personality and the superpower to rattle the windows. But you can do the same with ordinary levels of voice control. I've done it. Men just don't expect women to roar at them like that. They're very shocked. If it happened more often, though, sex crimes would happen less.
