Listen for a lilting voice. The pulsing intonation of a unicorn's voice is described in The Whim of the Dragon by Pamela Dean (2003). This captivating, lightsome voice may sound like: a wondrous cascading an exotic lullaby something out of a fairy tale a strange, melodic chuckling a trickling flute a comfort a mourning dove an angelic shower a happy cooing The waveform of a unicorn's lilting voice clearly displays a cadence.
