Why does she speak like that in the DR

[Josy]

Genuinely wondering if I'm the only ones that notices this but when Ashleigh goes into the DR she changes her voice and speaks all sweet/Childlike unless she's annoyed or ranting

She doesnt speak like this outside the DR

Anyone else notice this?

[Samm]

She's speaks all most the same, but she probably speaks like that because she is more comfortable in the DR

This thread will just turn into another Ashleigh doesn't say any think to Helen in front of her face she rants in the DR

[GypsyGoth]

I think she does it to come across as more childlike to the viewers, even in the house she may not speak kinda babyish however she will walk around like a toddler with her cuddly toy and in her pajamas.

It's worked well for her so far, I don't think she's gonna change tactics.

[Brother Leon]

Not sure. It's not as bad as her "Awww, Thank youuu" voice when she wins an online poll though. That is extremely child like.

[Pete.]

Who cares though, when in the DR people feel more comfortable.

Not here for people start picking at her for having a higher voice like they did with Luisa

It's nothing to do with a higher voice.... But anyway if you aren't here for it then dont post in the thread, the rest of us here are having a discussion.

Childlike = higher pitched

But without Sam and my post this thread would have been one sided so it's good to get some balance

How DISGUSTING OF HER. The NERVE of the girl

[GypsyGoth]

Looking at the tactics she uses or the way she behaves in there is hardly an insult to her.

[Amy Jade]

It was very noticeable tonight, she speaks like a child in there.

[waylander1973]

It might be a normal reaction for her when she speaks to people that are in a position to judge her, if she was in a situation where people are going to judge her. wouldn't be surprise if there was youtube video out there in a model show with her displaying this type of behavior.

You stole my thread :rant: !!! I came on to do the same thing ,she DOES have her "Diary face " and "Diary little girl voice" spoilt children turn into spoilt adults,clearly she got her own way all her life by appealing in her little girl voice, but the public are not fools they will see through it

Why do you think people support her for how she acts in the DR/'childish' voice when we have 9 weeks of other material to base our support on

[Lex]

It's all part of the 'little-cutie package' that she is deploying to win the popularity contest!...It goes with the teddy bear and sulky little girl persona !...Andthe reason that it becomes pronounced in the DR..[when she is not giving one of her spoilt brat rants] is because she knows that there is a good chance that it will be shown on the HL's [she's watched the programme avidly!] and in the privacy of the DR...she has maximum opportunity to convince the viewer that "she really is a innocent, picked on little girl that deserves your vote!!" ..:bawling:

[chuff me dizzy]

Why are you painting her out to be an obsessive controlling immature freak

Think about it ,then you wont need to ask :tongue:

[jessicadanielle]

A lot of people in this thread are claiming that Ashleigh uses a sweet DR voice to win over the public and get what she wants by appearing as cute, but I think a lot of Ashleigh's supporters (me included) appreciate that she's a strong woman who has brought so much more to the show than what you would expect from her appearance. I don't like her because she acts "sweet" and I don't perceive her in that way at all really. I like her for quite the opposite reason.

Basically, if you believe that Ashleigh uses a sweet act to win over the public then it's not really working for her. I believe she is liked regardless of this sweet persona that she's apparently trying to put on.

Do you have anything on topic to add to this thread since discussing other members is still against the rules?

[user104658]

On the topic of the thread: perhaps you'd all prefer if Asleigh took a leaf out of Helen's book, and at all times spoke like Grampy Rabbit from peppa pig?

I noticed her lovely soft tone when she was weighing up her decision during the shopping task - but whenever the camera went back into the main house for the housemates reaction Ashleigh could hardly be heard over them.

Tiny room, nobody talking over her...

Hmm I could believe that tbh had she not spoke in different voices whilst in there, like tonight during the interview task (which is where I noticed it so much) she was talking in the voice I described in the OP then when she said 'I don't think this is going very well' she spoke in the normal way she speaks in the house.

[Achilles]

She is an emotional 18 year old woman. I bet when she is happy at home she speaks like that all the time. If she is angry or sad etc her voice will change to reflect her mood

[Pete.]

I don't get why the tones of voice a housemate speaks in is such a big deal?

[Josy]

Theres only a few making a big deal out of the thread, you being one of them.

[user104658]

As a more sensible contribution: it could be as simple as a subconscious situational inflection. For example, most people have a "phone voice" - they use a slightly different voice when they speak on the phone than they do when speaking face-to-face. It's really noticable if you're speaking to someone and then they get a phone call and take it...

"Yeah I was telling Bob about what happened at the weekend..."
*phone rings*
"Oh sorry I need to take this."
*voice pitch suddenly goes up*
"Haaaallooh?"


You can't see anyone in the DR... it probably is kind of like talking to someone on the phone.

[reece(:]

I don't think the OP is a reach but some other comments are, I've noticed a large range in Ashleigh's voice.. I prefer her angry tone :love:

[Robodog]

She def puts on a cutey voice in the DR (and at other select times)

It's the same thing as Mark's affected scouse accent or Winston's exaggerated geezerness

Every HM walks in to a VT displaying them as a certain character type (the model, the muscle man, the player, the bitch, the crazy hippy etc)

Ashleigh knows her role is the cutesy teen 'baby of the house' - hence the teddy bear and the voice she puts on at certain times that you pointed out in the thread

[Kazanne]

Oh all these excuses:joker::joker:she's just a mardy arsed mare whos tone changes for maximum effect,my 11 year old does it ,I do hope she grows out of it,otherwise I might have to take her teddy off her.

[Robodog]

Ha yeah i've got female friends in their 30s and 40s who still do it (usually when they want something eg free drink, discount, lift to somewhere etc)

[Josy]

So when she was ranting in the diary room apparently that made her the bitch from he'll, that was only last night so it's not every time at all.

[Kazanne]

My friends son is fighting in a war who is younger than Ashleigh,so her age is an excuse.

Hmm I don't know if you meant to quote someone or if this is in reply to me...I for one have never referred to Ashleigh as a bitch from hell or anything like that and I also never said she speaks differently in the DR every time.

[chuff me dizzy]

You were the one posting images of children representing Ashleigh though

Because she ACTS like a child and a very spoilt one at that

[jet]

No, I can't say I've noticed. Why would she speak differently on purpose in the DR than in the house? She knows we hear her talk in the house as well as in the DR, so what would be the point? :shrug:

[chuff me dizzy]

I'm not the only one to pick up on it though going by the replies.

And?

[Pete.]

I don't get how Ashleigh, a female and therefore less likely to be part of the army, not fighting in a war at her age has stemed from her speaking differently in the DR

[Kazanne]

I don't get how Ashleigh, a female and therefore less likely to be part of the army, not fighting in a war at her age has stemed from her speaking differently in the DR

I'm not sure what the point is hence the thread.

I'm not the only one to pick up on it though going by the replies.

It depends on who is picking up on it though. No prizes for guessing...:hehe:

Women have a massive part to play in the army, but this is not what we were talking about, please don't divert ,I asked why does the member bring up her age 28 times a day ? simple question ,easy answer

[GypsyGoth]

Ashleigh acts more infantile at certain times to get what she wants.

This is not some revelation, it's clear to see.

[kistar]

Sometimes her age is used against her , I vaguely remember her being called a brat?

[kistar]

I love being a girl I get my own way a lot because I use my girlie charms I always have done and I love it , why wouldn't you?

[Jords]

Its pretty common knowledge that people change/adapt their voices depending on the situation. 'telephone voice' is a prime example when we are probably at our post articulate and polite. I havent noticed Ashleigh put on this tone of voice particularly in the house but she has done it in the DR before. Its probably very much the case that she is responding to 'Big Brother' as an older sibling and shes being excitable and endearing in hope 'Big Brother' doesnt present something challenging for her to do such as a task.

[Northern Monkey]

Never really noticed tbh.I was gonna also say it might be like her telephone voice but it's been said twice already.Really have'nt noticed.

When my 3 year old cousin puts on the butter wouldn't melt coy little voice we always think "What a mature woman" :umm2:

[kistar]

Love her cutesie voice love her ranting and swearing in the diary room, it's just how she feels.

On the Ashleigh is spoilt note, if I have a little girl I am going to tell her every day she is the most precious most beautiful girl on the planet and I am going to spoil her with love affection and everything her little heart desires and that is what every little girl deserves.
