Babyish female voice overs!

[EponasWildDaughter]

Is it me or is there a growing trend for the female voice overs used on ad's for TV and radio these days to sound about bloody 6 years old?

Fine for the stuff which is child oriented in some way i suppose, like the ads for theme parks for eg., and at a stretch the reminders for filling in your family tax credits form, but we have these silly childish female voices for anything and everything now it seems. Why?

Coming home in the car this morning there was an ad on the radio for a car dealership and the female voice over was so bloody babyish it was laughable and frankly ridiculous. I hear them all the time and i find it really irritating. Who is this aimed at? We don't routinely have male voice overs sounding like 5 year old little boys ... AIBU?

I'm sure Anthea Turner does most of them, just in different accents. Especially the radio ones anyway.

Women who talk in babyish,high pitched voices get my goat. A group of three 20 something women got on the bus I was on about a week ago,chattering to each other. I swear that they'd all had a dose of helium prior to boarding!
