I read an incredible article today about a woman in California, who has had a voicebox (larynx) transplant.

A previous article on the BBC website described how this surgery is able to transform people's lives that previously were not able to speak after particular surgery.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7912621.stm The interesting point about this is that with a transplanted larynx, the patient has a 'new' voice. Before, the patient might have had a high pitched voice, but after surgery, it could be lower, or with a different timbre.
For fun, I have created a survey asking for your favourite voices and if you had the choice of changing voice, what would you request! Answer online below.
