Some people seek out the help of speech pathologists as they feel vocal fry makes them appear unsure and less confident.[18] Researchers have found that young adult women who use vocal fry are perceived as less competent and less hireable, compared to males using vocal fry.[12] Some argue that these perceptions are part of a broad attack on women's speech,[18] noting how male voices with vocal fry carry different, and sometimes opposite, connotations.[19] Vocal fry in spoken English is generally seen as a negative characteristic in the workplace, but a study by Duke University researchers has determined the phenomenon is becoming more common and socially acceptable
