If you have to ask, chances are the answer is yes. That’s just one of the discoveries inherent in David Thorpe’s bustling documentary odyssey as he seeks to connect with — and come to terms with — the sound of his voice. It’s all about letting go of the nasality and reclaiming the sibilant ‘s’ when Thorpe’s tonsils fall prey to numerous speech pathologists or voice coaches with instructional videos to sell. Some of it feels like reality TV, but there’s enough energy and perceptivity to prevent the pace from ever slackening. More than mere digital confessional, there’s also a brief historical overview of proto-gay Disney villains, and fond tribute paid to the topflight band of queer-sounding celebrities (Charles Nelson Reilly, Paul Lynde, Rip Taylor, etc.) that emerged in the ‘60s and ‘70s. (Thorpe affectionately baptizes them, “The Ambiguous Queens of Prime Time TV.”) Featuring the full, round, clear tones of Tim Gunn, George Takei, and David Sedaris. (2015) — Scott Marks
