[quote=Anonymous]I sympathize, OP. While I still can't figure out what vocal fry is, I am familiar with uptalk and find it so annoying. Funny story: a few years ago my son (then 7 I think) started with uptalk all of a sudden. I was feeling self-conscious thinking he was getting it from me. At its worst he had his annual check-up. Our long-term ped talked to him for a few minutes and then turned to me and asked "Where did THIS come from?" There was no need to ask what THIS meant. She said "I don't think he's getting it from you." I was so relieved to hear someone say that! He must have been getting it at school. It was like one of those people who gets a concussion and wakes up speaking with a British accent. My son went to school one day as a normal kid and came home talking like a valley girl. Anyway, good news is it didn't become permanent. His speech returned to normal after the school year ended. [/quote]
