Some people say that vocal fry hurts but others say the opposite. I use it to warm up my voice and to sing too. So I am really concerned about its impact on my voice. Thanks
I don't quite understand why this is an issue, but everyone has a different reaction to one stimulus, so I guess that's the reason for the debate. Thanks for revealing something that I never would've imagine would be a thing
I think it's interesting that nobody addresses stress, thyroid function, genetics, or other physiological factors that might be playing a role. Sure, some people are just annoying, but some people (Katy Perry comes to mind) sound like they are physically incapable of producing quality notes below a certain frequency. While others (Lana Parrilla comes to mind) produce that rich, sexy baritone with no effort at all.
I have a degree in this stuff, and your description was very accurate in my opinion. It should be noted that excessive use of vocal fry, such as using it in place of your modal tone, is inadvised because it can cause damage and lead to things like vocal nodules. Everything in moderation, people! (And to the people who commented- yes, the vocal folds do look kind of like a vagina. We did a lot of giggling in our anatomy classes.)

I was annoyed and disgusted by vocal fry long before I knew it by that name. Back in the day, we called it "raspy." Like the sound a rasp makes. Yucko! I thought it was women trying to sound like men on the downward inflections. I have not been convinced otherwise.
as a non nativ speaker, i can easy sing along something from cannibal corpse. But its extremly difficult to try the vocal fry, you have to force it and really focus on it. which tells me thats no ones natural voice.
This was a useful and informative video. So, thanks for that. However, aside from people's perceptions of and reactions to vocal fry (in others, naturally, because why would I ever object to my own, right?), I had heard that it was also potentially damaging to the long-term voice health of those who engage in it. I'll be honest: when I hear it over-used (which is an entirely subjective measure, of course) it annoys me for reasons that I can't fully explain. (Part of that objection is an acknowledged part of my upbringing: my father pointed it out to me in television announcers decades and decades ago - and in male announcers, especially - so I've been attuned to it for most of my life, though only recently had a name for it.) So I admit my own aversion to the sound when over-used, and that's in the open. But if there are also issues about it that affect the health of the speaker's vocal cords, then it would also be useful to know that ... and to have that as an additional reason to encourage people to STOP DOING THAT SO MUCH just aside from the simple reason that I don't like it.

She is annoying to listen to because she seems to like using vocal fry. It does seem to be most common amongst young, american women who think it sounds "cool". Thankfully, it's not common over here in Britain.
She's using vocal fry on purpose so people who don't know what it is can know what it sounds like. It's an educational video; she's trying to teach something for people who are interested. Appealing to aesthetics isn't the top priority. And it might seem to you that it's more common in young women, but this is not necessarily supported by data. In fact, there's not a huge amount of data yet, but the data that *does* exist points to the opposite. Studies show that young men actually dip into vocal fry more often than young women (which makes sense because men's voices are naturally at a lower average frequency than women's voices, and vocal fry requires dipping into an abnormally low vocal range), but when women do it, they are perceived as annoying or uneducated more often than when men do it, so it's just noticed more in women. And just because famous women like Kim Kardashian might do it to sound cool doesn't mean most people do. For a lot of people it's totally subconscious or involuntary, so it's a shame that people pay so much attention to vocal quality and allow it to detract from the actual words being spoken.
There’s nothing wrong with it as part of speech. It’s when people do it 24/7 that it gets irritating. No one would speak in falsetto all the time, there’s no reason to view fry any differently.
It is just a modern version of the "Valley Girl" method of speech and, like VG, if FEKKIN' annoying! It's done by pretentious wanna-be's who want to sound all hip and happening but in the end just end up being annoying.

+Timothy Link Lots of different researchers and philosophers have different definitions of what makes a creature self-aware, so it's always a hard question to answer. In the case of bacteria, though -- bacteria are single-celled organisms that don't have a brain. They don't even have a cell nucleus! So by most definitions, it's impossible for them to be self-aware. However, bacteria do participate in a type of communication called quorum sensing. Each bacterium releases chemicals that indicate how it's doing. Other bacteria can detect those chemicals. When a bacterium detects enough of any one type of these chemicals, it will change its behavior to go with the group. So in a way, bacteria do have a sense that they're part of a greater colony.
