A tough day at the office changes our voices, a study suggests.
Researchers analysed recordings of people speaking every evening after work over the course of a week.
They also asked them to report on the stressors they had experienced that day and their perceived stress levels.
When they analysed the voice recordings using computer software they noticed some distinct changes on the days people reported more stressors.
They found that people talked more quickly and with more intensity when they'd had more strains that day, regardless of how stressed they actually felt.

The researchers are now hoping their findings could be used to help people keep track of their everyday stress levels so they can manage them better.
