Sherri Shepherd Says 1 Tip From Barbara Walters Forever Changed The Way She Speaks

The "Sherri" host recently reflected on her time working with her late co-host on 'The View.'

A conversation between Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters about Shepherd’s voice apparently got pretty deep.

In a clip for an upcoming episode of Busy Philipps’ late-night show, “Busy This Week,” set to air Wednesday night, Shepherd reveals that the late TV journalist once advised her to make her voice sound deeper.

“Barbara helped me find my voice,” she says of working alongside Walters, her former co-host on “The View.” “She taught me to be a tough broad, she taught me to believe in myself, she taught me to be curious.”

“The reason I sound like a man right now is because she taught me to lower my voice,” she says in the clip, before mimicking a higher-pitched tone. “Because people perceive more confidence when your voice is lower, as opposed to ‘Hey everybody, how are you? What are you doing?’”

Shepherd, who hosts her own daytime show, “Sherri,” said that she has since passed along Walter’s advice to other young women she works with.
