I think Marge fronts her /a/ more than the others. Also she seems always on the verge of cracking into falsetto; the others, speaking in a low monotone, are not in such danger. Julie Kavner plays all the Bouviers, and Marge is the nearest to her normal voice -- or at least to that of Brenda Morgenstern! -- Anton Sherwood -- http://www.ogre.nu/
