Have you heard of Vocal Fry, Voice Fry or Creak? Trust me, you have. To understand this (real) thing (Google it!), you have to use your ears. To begin, put on a television show with any Kardashian girl, then CLOSE YOUR EYES and just LISTEN to the voices (particularly grating is Kourtney.) That's Voice Fry.
It turns out there is a new generation of grown women who sound like a demented version of a 80s Valley Girl. What's worse? Fellow female millennials RESPECT this voice. (There were scientific studies!)
Nasim Pedrad got the vocal fry perfectly on SNL when she played Kim Kardashian in the Kim and Kanye bits. Check out those old skits on You Tube if you can't stomach putting on a Kardashian show. But I must remind you that, initially, you will only truly get what #VocalFry is if you HEAR it.
If you work in an office or get your haircut where there are women under 35 years old - CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LISTEN to them and you will easily pick out the dumb-dumb with vocal fry.
I apologize for making you aware of this awfulness.... because once you know what it is, you can't un-hear it.
