I recall reading something on this topic years ago, so bear with me.

The difference between a Black person and a white person, from the same area and using the same grammar is usually the amount of nasalization and the richness of the voice. Most whites tend to speak thru their nose hence sounding very 'nasal' whereas most Blacks speak from the throat and sound more 'earthy'. The difference in nasality and richness can also be heard in singing voices.

Now these are generalizations but I would venture to say that they are pretty accurate when examining how 'most' people speak (or is it talk?).

Would sound be a better word?
