To yell, scream..etc.
Hi guys, could somebody clarify the different levels of the usage of your voice for me, and would there be more common ways to say these verbs! So to begin from the quieter to louder...

Sussurrare = to whisper
Parlare = to talk
Gridare = to yell
Urlare = to shout
Strillare = to scream

Are there others, or is this pretty much the different levels of raising your voice? Thanks!

Answer

/strillare/ and /sgridare/ also have a different meaning: to reproach.
In this meaning, /strillare/ always implies 'with a loud voice', while /sgridare/ does not imply
anything about the voice level.
Moreover /sgridare/ has ONLY the meaniong of /to reproach/.

Answer

Musical knowledge aside, in my opinion you're right. Urlare, gridare e strillare are synonymous, I don't see trhere aren't different levels of the usage of voice; may be strillare is only more related to children, so it could have a different frequency.
