Voice feelings

Records of Music says, "Music is produced by sound. The root of this is in the human mind's sensitivity to things. For this reason, when people feel sorrow their voices are choked and stifled; when they feel happiness, their voices are cheerful and relaxed. When they feel delight, their voices are excited and expansive; when they feel anger, their voices are rough and harsh. When they feel respect, their voices are plain and clear; when they feel love, their voices are gentle and soft. These six are not spontaneous; they come into play after feeling something."
