Paris Hilton made waves this week as she testified before Congress, not just for her compelling advocacy but for a surprising shift in her vocal tone that left social media buzzing.
The hotel heiress and former reality TV star spoke passionately on Wednesday about her experiences at troubled teen centers, urging lawmakers to reauthorize critical child welfare legislation and to support new measures like the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. During her testimony, Hilton’s voice transitioned midway through, captivating viewers as it dropped from a typically high-pitched, fashion-commenting tone to a deeper register when discussing mental health care.
Hilton’s ability to seamlessly switch vocal registers has drawn attention, especially considering her past portrayal with a higher-pitched “baby voice” persona, famously part of her persona on “The Simple Life.” However, as she revealed in recent years, her natural voice is deeper, a fact she emphasized in interviews and documentaries like “This Is Paris.”
Social media erupted with praise and surprise at Hilton’s authentic and powerful testimony, applauding her courage to shed her public persona and speak earnestly about important issues.
