I'd try that, but because my snakes are so used to me handling them, they won't venture near anyone else, so I wouldn't be able to accurately guage whether or not they were calmer because of a voice difference, or just because they knew it was "Mom"!
I haven't been able to get any of them to even crawl on another person without getting all stressed out.
