[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a little girl voice, or is it "vocal fry"? http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/employers-look-down-on-women-with-vocal-fry/371811/ The vocal fry thing drives me nuts. Probably as much as valley girl talk annoyed the crap out of my parents back in the day. Painful! [/quote] Interesting. I just read and listened to all that, and vocal fry doesn't bother me. It is at a lower register and I think it is so commonplace now, it took me a bit to isolate it. I too have a problem with the false high pitch voice. A friend of our family speaks like this. I also noticed it was an affectation of older French ladies. It's not babyish, just obviously higher than natural register, and very strange and annoying when I hear it. Do people know they are doing it?[/quote]
