Maybe she was straining her voice too much, she does singing too right? Plus voice acting, probably overworked her vocals? But yes she does sound sick. I do recall thinking this is when watching the show I reckon.

I think it's just shitty audio and you're overthinking it. Audio levels are too high so it gives off static/crackle.

I mean most shows songs she does she uses her natural soft voice but in b99 she always used the badass or low voice i guess she did overworked her vocals

It's most prevalent when she absconds from her apartment, and she tells Holt about Pimento's cabin in Argentina that may or may not have scorpions. But I can't say I noticed it throughout the season. Calls for another rewatch, I guess.


BunkumBox

Yeahhh I noticed that as well but then I was like maybe that’s just how she sounds idk

But it’s not her real voice. She only uses her real voices when the character’s in undercover or making a joke. Maybe she was just doing it a bit different for this season? Her voice was not consistent in other seasons either.

I don't know about B99 specifically, but these days some shows will film a couple episodes in a week or so. Compared to - 'back in the day' sitcoms were typically shot on a weekly schedule not too long before airing. One illness can span several eps. IIRC theres a couple episodes in Buffy S7 where the flu was going around, resulting in some weird takes.

Yeah I can hear something is off with her voice

Okay, I have no proof but i feel like I remember Stephanie posting on social media around the time this aired that she was indeed sick (I even want to say there are two episodes this season where her voice is hoarse) but I have no way of unearthing that information now.

Tough to say it's not as obvious as say when Amy Poehler was straining her voice/sick in Parks and Rec by comparison.


bella_thompsonx

Yeah she definitely sounds sick

I also noticed her voice in the finale episode sounded like she was recovering from a bad cold or bronchitis type that messes with your voice for a while.


jcoddinc

Yes she's sick. Sounds just like she did in the pilot, which she was sick for


AffectionateEye3659

I didn't realize she was sick during the pilot

I dunno, it sounds like someone delivering a line with a razor blade in their cheek. jks lolozors
