Abstract
At close range, we still signal our identity, our physical fitness, and our survival needs with sound, but with the increasing frequency of textual communication, we often utilize a smiley or frowny face caricature on our electronic device to communicate feelings and personality. Conversational speech is generally ideal at about 70 dB at a one meter distance. Prosodic variations (melody, dynamics, and voice quality changes) are deemed "affected" in speech that focuses more on transmission of information than individuality. As "vocal texting" is becoming more and more fashionable, the voice and the articulators are not achieving much more than what two thumbs can do.
