I don't understand the lisp thing either. A guy I grew up with had a totally normal voice as a child. He started hanging around with the drama crowd and suddenly began prancing and lisping. My dad suggested I take him to our high school's Sadie Hawkins dance and I said, "Uh, I don't think he wants a girl for a date," and my dad got mad that I defiled his friend's son's honor.
Well Dad, I guess you've seen Lee in Heaven by now...AIDS sent him there 10 years ago.
