2023.08.30 – 0972 – ‘Vocal Fry’ Voice

‘Vocal fry’ voice[1],[2]

Symptom: We have covered this in some depth previously, especially in episode 38: the low, glottal, creaky, choppy, breathy delivery often described as a millennial speech pattern used most often perhaps by women and most famously by the Kardashian clan and Katy Perry. It happens when vocal folds stay relaxed when you speak, with minimal air passing through them. It can give the impression to some that you are bored, lack intelligence, or less competent and less trustworthy.

Prescription: Unless your audience is made up entirely of a millennial audience that would relate to vocal fry, you are probably better off avoiding this pattern of speech.
