High pitched voice theory Neanderthal BBC science
Funny. I'd like to see them clone a neanderthal and integrate him into society, kind of like the plot in the movie Encino-Man.
Wild speculation. She's a drama teacher, not even a speech pathologist..

A lot of humans are like 1-4% neanderthal (mostly Europeans). I wonder how that effects their personality. Is Neanderthal DNA a plus or negative?
Actually, Patsy Rodenburg isn't a drama teacher; she's a voice, speech, and diction instructor, and probably the finest in the world at that (and I've studied under some truly world-class teachers). She was an instructor for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and has coached Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Daniel Craig...
She really would know everything (& more) a studied speech pathologist would in terms of anatomy and physiology, and how all the various parts of the body work together to create the finished sound of the voice.
If you've ever studied with a truly great teacher in either singing or speech, you'd be surprised at how well they know the human voice. My last teacher could tell what and when you last ate, if you'd smoked in the past few days, how long you slept and had been awake, which of the muscles in your throat and face were tense, and what kind of problems you were likely to develop from prolonged speech, know what sort of speech impediments you had or could develop, could decipher the sizes and placement of all your sinuses and head cavities and the thickness of your bones, all from hearing you speak a mere sentence.
My .02 on the theory is there's at least a 60% chance Patsy Rodenburg is correct.

Voice teacher here. If you ever need help with singing, speech and diction, accent improvement/reduction, I'm your man.
