Thanks for the many great suggestions. I’m going to look for a few video examples of them to include in my presentation next month in the Germany conference: http://www.uni-konstanz.de/electrified-voices/

These may be similar to what has already been discussed, but sound design is all about using inter-related sounds, right? Some of these may be stretching the idea.

-Voice in a microphone (amplified) can be felt by the audience.
-When some people talk they spit (on the listener.)
-Whispering in someone’s ear often can be felt as breath, sometimes warm and/or moist.
-When my months-old baby boy cries, it often literally hurts my ears, his voice is so piercing (this can also be related to the classic opera singer breaking the wine glass with a resonating note.)
-When someone is describing food or drink that they are ingesting – as they are ingesting it – you can almost feel the food in your own mouth
-Phone sex has sometimes made the participants feel as if they were actually in the same room together (startlingly real.)
-Darren Brown (mind controller) or other hypnotists seem to gain control over the actions of others with their voice/commands (my baby boy gains such control over his parents with his baby cries/commands/demands.)
-Voice commands on the Star Trek ships allows people to control the ships computer.
-Voice is almost always involved in seduction
