Simple you make the voice sound as natural as possible.

If it's too high tones tune and visa versa too low sounding tune.

Just make it as close to a natural sounding voice as you can.

Sorry for the novice question but .. I do a lot of CW.  I participate in CW
contests and can usually survive.  Last night I thought I'd give the CQWW
160 SSB contest a shot.  Now I know why I don't participate in a lot of SSB
contests.  I had a heck of a time trying to tune stations in.  Either I was
too high or too low.  The QSB didn't help matters either.

I don't have a very good antenna setup on 160 so it behooves me to be right
on frequency in order to make the contact.  I made about 140 CW contacts
during the CQWW CW contest but SSB is a different animal.  Is there a secret
to tuning SSB so that it's intelligible?

Sorry for the dumb question but I wouldn't mind making a couple of SSB
contacts on 160.  After that I guarantee you I won't be doing much SSB work.
