I've read about a few listener comprehension studies, and it's been found that people generally comprehend higher pitched, slightly faster than average, voices better, and female voices are better than male for comprehension and retention.

I don't know how that applies to this particular trick, but this is something I've had a vague wish for, for years. Though I just wanted a button on YouTube for, "Talking too slow!" that would speed them up some.
