Vocal Fry - Notice or Not?
Curious how the issue breaks down by age and gender. Or if people here even notice.
Evidently, this is a big deal in the audio news industry [read NPR], where they say it's quickly becoming the source of their most vitriolic hate mail. Not to guide responses, there appears to be a generational gap where older listeners hear unprofessionalism and boredom and younger listeners hear education and sophistication. It's the gutteral exhalation that accompanies trailing sentences, demonstrated here. Clips from the first 10 minutes of NPR's new Invisibilia |
