"PITCH" PERFECT
Darth Vader is...
SUPRA-SEGMENTAL POWER
Not only will he use "the force" to telekintetically choke you from across the room, this pitch-perfect villan forces his mean fundamental frequency down to the deepest Pits of Carkoon to inspire the full power of the Galactic Empire.
ACTUAL DEFINITION
Mean fundamental frequency of an utterance refers to the pitch of a voice. A speaker can have high, medium, or low pitch.
EXAMPLE
[Jessica Beitzel as "man voice"] It would be very weird if I always talked like this.
