[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the article: "And maybe, just maybe, we should all try to worry less about the way people speak (or dress or...) and instead try to actually listen to and hear what they're saying.
So vocal fry? Don't vocal fry? Do what you want! Because if our crappy earbud headphones have taught us anything, it's that content matters more than the quality of delivery."[/quote]

Yeah sorry I know this was a posting fail- I like the video but totally disagree with the article. In all parts of life it is not what people say but how they say it. If you uptalk, can't speak with conviction, fry your words, etc I can't take you seriously. [/quote]

Yes, and I'm a woman in a position to decide whether I hire you, or not.

The 'get a life' PPs may want to consider that.   [/quote]

You wouldn't hire a girl/woman because she speaks with vocal fry? I guess you must be deluged with highly-qualified applicants.

Note that men creak, and men uptalk -- it's just that nobody minds when men do it. They only mind when girls/women do it. Why do you suppose that is?
