question + と言うと


Usually Tomo isn't that bad, but he blew me away here. I seem to be well out
of my depth trying to get a handle on what's going on in this sentence:

> まぁいい声って言うよりも **これだけいつも** と違う声を出すと、 **どちらかというと**
> 面白い声に聞こえますが、いつも同じ声を聞いていると飽きてしまうかもしれないので今日は違う人のpodcastを聴いている気分で、新鮮な気分で、聞いてください。

<http://ruby-s.net/2020/08/20/script-%e3%80%90episode093%e3%80%91/>

My interpretation is roughly:

> Since, rather than saying "that voice is meh", if I use a different voice
> than my usual, they might be able to ask which is interesting but if I
> always use the same voice, one might get tired of it, today ....

This seems to be a bit of a run on sentence and the part after が isn't that
bad.

これだけいつもと I'm not clear on this construction. It seems like "only this, the
usual", then compared to a different voice.

Then I haven't seen a question bundled with と言うと. I think he's speculating on
what a listener might ask. But I don't see how it links to the following
面白い。。。

Without forcing you to listen to it, Tomo is speaking in a deeper voice (or
has done some post to lower his voice) in this episode.




  * いい声 is "cool voice", not "meh voice". When it refers to a male voice, it typically refers to a low-frequency, dandy voice. Note that いい always means "good" rather than "not necessary" when it restrictively modifies the following noun.
  * This 面白い is "funny" rather than "interesting".
  * This これだけ is "this much", not "only this". It modifies (いつもと)違う. これだけいつもと違う声 literally means "the voice that is as different than usual as this".
  * どちらかというと/どっちかというと (literally "to say which") is a common set phrase that means "if anything", "more of", "if I have to choose one", etc. 

>     * どちらかというと嬉しかった。 If anything, I was glad.
>     * どっちかというと犬派です。 I'm more of a dog person.
