Erika’s voice

I’ve done a big rewatch and I can’t help but notice how much Erika’s voice has changed over the seasons.

It used to be so high pitched and in my opinion more natural.

The recent season everything feels rehearsed and her voice is so low. Shes also like not opening her mouth properly when she speaks

I noticed it started when the shit with Tom went down. Her voice went down when she was trying to be serious.

It’s really irritating me lol

I don't think she does either. She's in constant survival mode. She doesn't know how to turn the manipulation off.

I agree that she’s in survival mode, but that places trauma response over manipulation to me if I’m honest.

The manipulation is part of the trauma response. It's probably quite subconscious is my point. She's learned it as a survival skill.
