Is this just my observation, or has Joe Scab's voice changed?

[Ilsa]

When he is at the table and speaking in a normal tone, his voice sounds a little bit lower, and almost like Lawrence O'Donnell's voice (different content, of course). What got me noticing this was I was listening to the tv while in the kitchen, and I was wondering, "Why would Lawrence O'Donnell say that?" Then I walked in and saw it was Joe Scab talking. Granted, I probably need to get my hearing checked, but has anyone else wondered if maybe Joe has done something permanent, or if he is intentionally changing his speech?

2. A couple of weeks ago, Mika said he was out because he was

having sinus surgery. I suppose that could be it.

5. Septoplasty, maybe? Sometimes it reduces the nasally sound. But to me,

his voice sounds a tiny bit deeper. Maybe with clearer sinuses, he is able to breathe and speak with his "chest voice" more than his head voice.

Is there something they can do to vocal cords to deepen the voice? Seems pretty tricky.

9. Yes. He went thru sinus surgery..

and his voice has changed.

6. Good. It's not just me. I noticed it as soon as he got back from that week-long vacation

7. I noticed a difference too. Maybe the change is in the control room. They

may have change something on the sound board.
