Sometimes they're talking to me in a certain voice, then their significant other shows up and they talk to them in a different voice. I'm over here thinking that the first voice was their business casual, and their second is their dress down Friday after work. Also, I can tell when a girl is attracted to someone they're talking to. Voice gets whiny and annoying. Nasal. Like mine.
This is an interesting observation that I hadn't thought of. I wonder if people consciously make their voice sound differently, or if they just unconsciously do it? Also, your observation reminds me of voice actors who sound differently than the character voices that they portray: Hugo Weaving, Michael Dorn, and Frank Langella (the voice of Archer, leader of the Gorgonites, in Small Soldiers) are some actors that come to mind.
P.S. In terms of nasally voices, it seems that I have the opposite problem: when my voice gets nasally, it becomes more deep, authoritative/commanding, and basso than it already is, which is great if I want to play the role of a super-villain or something.
