   Hi, Anton!  Recently you wrote in a message to Alexander Koryagin:   
      
   AS>  it was done not to add speed and dynamics, but to change   
   AS>  the timber of the voice:   
      
      
             Usage note:  The English language has adopted many words from French   
   ... e.g. "litre", "metre", and "theatre"... which USAians prefer to spell with   
   an "-er" ending.  That's not the case here.  USAians make the same distinction   
   between "timbre" and "timber" Canadians do in spelling, but not necessarily in   
   pronunciation.  A few years from now, of course, things may be different.  :-Q   
      
             The first pertains to tone colour or sound quality... the acoustical   
   principle which enables us to recognize the voices of our nearest & dearest or   
   to distinguish between an oboe & a clarinet when we can't see who &/or what is   
   involved, while the second pertains to trees or to the wood derived therefrom.   
      
      
      
   AS>  Eugeniy Leonov spoke slowly, so that the sped-up version   
   AS>  would have normal tempo but increased pitch.   
      
      
             I imagine the same applies to "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (1958).  :-)
