(Anonymous) 2014-08-04 07:25 am (UTC)(link)This is partially true. Anime voices are highly exaggerated, though many Japanese women do pitch their voices higher, they tend to drop the habit sometime in their thirties.
I will say, though, that from a phonological perspective, there's something about the Japanese language that gives everyone a tendency to pitch their voices higher. I've noticed this bilingual foreigners and bilingual ethnic Japanese - overwhelmingly, people of any ethnicity will speak in deeper voices in English than in Japanese. If I could hazard a guess, I would say that it has something to do with the quality of Japanese vowels and the lack of anything gutteral and back-throaty. It's all very front-mouthy.
