Proprietrix -> Barking out orders to worthless scum (4/19/2006 5:14:41 PM)

I'm sure we've all been exposed to the stage Domme who barks out her orders in a commanding tone whilst striking a naked man with her whip. "Now pathetic slave, down on your knees and lick the mud off my boots because that's all you deserve anyway!" I don't do this. I don't think I could do this if I tried. If I did try, I can easily envision me cracking up laughing. Even when I'm doing humiliation, my tone is not brassy and brazen. I would definitely call it more condescending, sarcastic, and softly patronizing. "awww, ain't that cute how you think you're man enough to put oil in your car." During play time, caning, flogging, etc... I'm more quiet, but when I do speak, it's usually a whisper in the ear, or again, it's a laughing/teasing kind of talk "oooOOOoooo that one made you jump. hold still now, this one won't hurt a bit." And I definitely don't use that insolent tone on a daily basis, around the house in interacting with my subs/slaves. I don't see other Dommes (or even male Doms for that matter), using that type of inflection at play parties or munches or BDSM events. For the most part, I see Dominants using a caring, loving tone. One that shows strength and power, but never raises a single octave. And insults are generally rendered with a teasing wink or smile. I tend to equate that brash, insolent tone, barking out insults, with all the other cheesy Dominatrix stereotypes (6 foot, model figure, catsuit, etc..) Hell, even the women in the few videos I've watched seemed like their voice was shaking when they barked out insults to the men. Do any of you ladies use that brass vocal technique? Or is it truly just another stereotype?
