In the throes of the moribund Roman empire, the emperor of a decadent and pathless people, sent his precious legions out into the German forrests to be slaughtered. Perhaps the symptoms are similar, though I pray correctable.

You can definitely learn to do it. There are voice coaches that make a living teaching actors how to do it.
