Full Plot Details

Approaching middle age, David Thorpe, a South Carolina native who has lived most of his adult life in New York City, laments his single gay status at this stage of his life. In his self-critical view, he blames that status partly on what he considers his stereotypical gay-sounding voice, something he himself doesn't like and believes that most gay men don't like in others, wanting partners who sound more masculine. David goes to vocal coaches and speech therapists to help him transform his voice into what he considers a more standard-sounding nondescript male voice. He also speaks to gay celebrities about their voices and what--if anything--they did to them. He speaks to other experts about how "the gay voice" came into being, its history, and if there is a theory of it being biologically inherent to gay men, or if it truly is a product of environment. He also talks to long-time friends and family members about his own gay voice, which might have emerged on a more conscious level than he thought. Through the entire process, David comes to some conclusions about that voice which might also surprise him.

Movie Reviews

Willamette Week - 9/10 by Alex FalconeThe strongest part of Thorpe's film is how he blends his personal story with the larger issue.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Michael O'SullivanThorpe doesn’t flinch from whatever awkward or controversial findings his subjects offer up, especially when they concern himself. The filmmaker’s curiosity as a reporter is tempered by an unapologetically subjective perspective.
SF Weekly - 8/10 by Jonathan KieferThe basic question in his movie's title is easily answered, the more complex underlying questions necessarily harder. And this is nothing if not a conversation starter.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Molly EichelWhile Thorpe ostensibly explores the sibilant consonants and careful enunciation that characterize what we have come to think of as "sounding gay," his film is really about his identity.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Odie HendersonWhat it does explore makes it a satisfying, lighthearted look at one man’s search for perceived vocal machismo.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Peter KeoughDavid Sedaris contributes a story about talking to a hotel clerk over the phone, which doesn’t add much to the discussion but is very funny.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Sophie Monks KaufmanA peppy but profound documentary exploration of self-projection and self-image.
Newsday - 8/10 by John AndersonSurprisingly entertaining, highly informative and honest.
Newark Star-Ledger - 8/10 by Stephen Whitty"Do I Sound Gay?" is fun, and while there's too much of Thorpe onscreen - and his family, and his friends, and other easy-to-land interview subjects - there are some interesting insights here from other writers and celebrities.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Jason ClarkThe film sheds light on self-imposed homophobia and questions of nature versus nurture without sacrificing its essential sense of humor.
