Re: What's a question you always wanted to ask...

I've never noticed any change in tone between Americans and Europeans or Asians. But men can lower their voices to be more masculine/badass, which would fit with Batman, and I guess House is his own kind of badass. Maybe the Americans doing English roles need to sound more sophisticated and thus speak more gently? (In the words of Robin Williams, "You're in England, the land of good manners." Yes, I know it's not true, but it's a stereotype in the US. A black male friend of mine deliberately speaks in a British accent in public, and it relaxes everyone around him. He swears it always works.)

The Asian woman high-pitched voice is a deliberate attempt to sound cute and girly, as it's my understanding that is what's desirable. In the US, for women it seems mature confidence, happiness, and no fear are what ears attention. Usual disclaimers of YMMV and everyone's different and this is my opinion and such and some Western men like baby-doll voices etc etc.
