Whenever I do a different voice or accent, my face changes drastically. In fact, Dee Bradley Baker, a famous voice actor in every American cartoon, is famous for doing so many voices and having a different face for each voice. Dee voices half of the aliens in Ben 10, as well as all the clone troopers in Star Wars the Clone Wars.
All I can hear when someone uses uptalk or upspeak for the majority of their speech is a person who sounds like they aren't quite convinced themselves about what they are trying to convey to others. They sound completely unsure of themselves and make it seem as if each sentence is a question, rather than a statement.
Exactly. It's passive-aggressive BS. It leaves room for doubt so ppl will subconsciously doubt what they're being taught. It's the globalists' way of dumbing us down even more - if that is even imaginable! And it is if you do your PROPER research!
@@foreignuser_ people interpret uptalk and vocal fry as this passive aggressive thing, immature boredom, or a sort of “I’m not here to rock the boat I just want to make sure everyone gets along this is a safe space” type of voice that hopes to not offend but comes off as patronising. When in reality it shows none of these things. It’s just a way of speaking. Vocal fry is extremely common in many English dialects, and other languages, like Finnish and Burmese. It’s slowly influencing other Anglophone populations - so, you can now notice younger females (and a smaller percentage of males) in the UK and elsewhere that are using this vocal fry pattern nowadays. It’s not as common - currently = as in the states, but it’s becoming more noticeable and increasing steadily. This is no doubt from American media influence and social diffusion. I have Japanese friends who speak English with vocal fry and sound like Kardashians or valley girls. It’s a common trend now in girls that go to an international school. It’s actually a socio-linguistic phenomenon. I have spoken to my male friends in Japan and some of them say that vocal fry in women is “hot” because they sound “like a movie star”. Perhaps this is the image they grew up with and unlike Anglophone speaking countries, do not associate vocal fry, particularly vocal fry and uptalk in women with negative connotations such as immature indifference, speaking from a position of unearned expertise/authority, passive aggressiveness, ignorance, laziness, etc. I should make it clear that vocal fry in Japan isn’t as pronounced as it is in America but the sound and cultural mannerisms are still present. I don’t have a problem with vocal fry myself as I have a west London and Korean accent which can annoy/confuse some people. I just dislike the specific individuals who just happen to use it because I know every time I hear “omigoshhhh” they’re going to start yapping my ear off about some nonsense gossip.
So true. A question is an inference. It doesn't really need an inflection to indicate a request for information. Uptalk indicates confusion/bewilderement.
Do real teens speak like that? In my experience, they like to act tough, not weak. Only nerdy teens in American cartoons speak in uptalk. Like Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon. What do I know, I lived in London, where teens are much tougher than in the USA.
That's close but not quite exact. I spent a lot of time working with McKinsey people and for some reason they used this 'up talk' affected speaking register. It comes across not as a question, but as a kind of condescending or patronizing tone, like they know and you don't. Almost as if they're talking to little kids.
The one example that never fails to be present is when I'm at a restaurant and the person in front of me is giving their order. The host asked for the name and the person says their name but as a question. Every single time, that condescending tone is, even though unintentional, is so jarring!
As an English learner struggling to pick up a native accent for so many years, now finally I understand why I have been failing so badly, simply because this uptalking way of spoken English is never something that they teach you or even mentioned in a language school going by the RP standard, yet it is done by almost every native speakers these days especially in a casual conversation.
This is a habit that is typically more common in one region over another. It’s not standard to the English language and most native speakers try to avoid it unless they are actually wanting to sound like they are constantly asking a question.
I’m from Minnesota, but most people think I have a Canadian accent ( I haven’t lived in MN since I was three, but apparently never lost the accent.) I hope Canadians resist uptalk, eh?🇨🇦
@@valerietaylor9615 I'm Australian and I know the Minnesota accent! Mainly from Drop Dead Gorgeous and Fargo. It's so cool. I can detect a Canadian accent but only on certain words.
It's insane how much this upspeak has spread and is used by everyone around me. I find even the elderly people speaking this way, as well as foreign people from outside the U.S. It's inescapable and I cringe everytime I hear it!
I cringe upon hearing uptalk. If someone's speaking that way during a news program, I leap for the Mute on my TV's remote. Nothing screams, "I am dumb," more than uptalk.
I first came across the term in an issue of “Psychology Today” magazine about twenty years ago. Until then, I thought it was just a feature of the California accent. I think it started in California, but has spread like a plague to the rest of the U.S. 🤢🤮
So the question marks at the end of dialogues are uptalk. I asked my English teacher and she could not explain what it was. There is a huge breach in the English that is taught at school and the one that is talked.
That's normally just referred to as upwards inflection. Uptalk refers to the speech pattern shown in this video, where the ends of phrases or sentences are inflected upwards, hence sounding like questions despite being statements.

I was in high school when my literature teacher taught everyone to put a dramatic emphasis on the important parts of a sentence. Thanks to her I developed the uptalk habit and I kept thinking it was the right way the whole time!
A little late, but our teacher taught us something similar, but she also taught us where the important parts of sentences should be and not to add unnecessary inflections but emphasize the naturally present inflections. Missing that last part could definitely lead to using upspeak regularly.
femaleonthecreek I lived in Austin for a little over a year. I couldn't stand all of the people my age (mid 20s) and they drove me to the point where i left. It's a shame bc there are tons of things to do and it's cheap to live there
There's a lot of room for more uptalk inflection in the "normal" reading than you used. It's all depends on the meaning you're trying to get across. A more optimistic, inspiring read might use more uptalk, than a rushed one that just tried to get the words out as fast as possible. With the right inflection, a lot of uptalk can sounds okay, but there's just certain syllables that need breaks from it or it sounds very unnatural.
The only real use for up-talk is in comedy or when talking to a child to make sure 'they get it' so they can use those question-type pauses as a way to insert a Q back to you or to keep their attention spans nurtured b/c when you end your sentence in a Q kind of way, you want to ensure the child is going along w/ you and understanding so they nod or go, 'yeah' in agreement, etc. In comedy it can work b/c you're asking for the audience to chime in and approve or laugh/ clap, etc. Also, I see patterns in comedy speak where we use a lot of hyperbole and then let that lazy way of speaking be the same rhetoric we use in ALL speech. It's just SUPER LAZY as is all of our habits and patterns in culture these days. If you notice, ppl wear their PJ's and sloppy outfits to even nice 4 star restaurants as if they're dashing off to Walmart and no one puts any effort into compartmentalizing anything anymore. There's a time and place for all things but most ppl don't care to edit and modify their lives anymore according to the environment they're in and the ppl they're with. It's pathetic beyond belief!
@@kaitlynkarol4600 I don't think uptalk is lazy. Speaking naturally is easier than forced uptalk for me. For most people, the "normal" way of speaking comes naturally and doesn't require effort. I would consciously have to try to uptalk, and it would make conversation more difficult. I think people that uptalk just haven't had the experiences that gives someone that natural speaking pattern. Uptalk does have a place. I stand by what I said. Inspirational and exciting words along with questions can be enhanced with uptalk when done correctly. Profound words can benefit from uptalk. The only problem with that is you may end up just sounding excited about what your talking about if what you're saying isn't seen as profound by the listeners. New or groundbreaking information can benefit from uptalk, you just have to know that the information is considered groundbreaking by your audience. I'm not saying there will ever be a good speech or compelling conversation with only uptalk, but it can be helpful if fused patterns.
@@kaitlynkarol4600 I don't agree with the second half of your comment. If a restaurant requires a certain dress code, so be it, but otherwise, I don't care what you wear. Your expectations of me are not my problem. Rather than let my style anger you, have enough respect for yourself to not be angered by someone else's clothing. Mind you, I don't go to 4 star restaurants or dress nicely very often. I'm not saying I don't see lazy habits, but I can also understand why every human being on the planet is not exceptionally hard-working. And in that light, the hardest workers I know don't dress well. I'm not dismissing laziness, but let's make sure we have a real, measurable value to define it before we point fingers. One's man's laziness could very well be another man's value.
@@kaitlynkarol4600 Sorry. Calling you out. Entire populations like New Zealand and Australia frequently use uptalk as it's inbuilt into the accent. Thanks for your generalisations about "laziness". You're clearly focused on a specific region of the world.

Four score and seven years ago? Our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation? Conceived in Liberty? And dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal?
People who use uptalk generally seek to show intellectual superiority over their audience, but wind up sounding idiotic and insecure. Uptalk is only useful when teaching kindergarten infants who cannot comprehend more than one short sentence at a time.
Upspeak: "How to say something without sounding like you're saying something". It's self-eroding, ambivalent, placative, even codependent. In a word, it's fake.
This has been bothering me for years...i don't understand why people do this. It's irritating when every sentence appears to be a friggin question being asked by someone I'm conversing with. I hate it !!!
@@rockwellrhodes7703 yeah I don't talk like this anymore I'm sure it was an issue with my testosterone levels. Low T, low confidence, anxiety, and then having to speak to people made me SO insecure. But not anymore.
This, and the overuse of ''Like'' and the way americans (especially californians) put cancer vowel ends on words. Example: No-ahh. Ew-ahh, makes me want go deaf, I'm 25..
Context is important... If you had to memorize this and wasn’t sure if you said it right... ...then it’d make sense to say it with a question at the end...
Me to. How about the latest thing of incorrectly using the word "so" instead of "well" to begin a response to a question? For example, any question about just about anything: [Reporter}: Ms. Psaki, can you explain why cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House? [Psaki]: So, we don't have any information on that. Next question.

In a word, it's fake.
Yep. You can also call it nihilistic and Marxist. It all goes along well w/ the evils of Critical Theory vs critical thinking.
@@kaitlynkarol4600 not everything’s political kaitlyn
its 2020 this is the first time ive ever heard of this. i have never ever talked like this
Gosh.. I really didn't understand the difference, Can someone help me out here?
When the guy uptalks his inflection goes up at the end of each statement as if to say his asking a question even though he’s not
Is this similar to Updog
can you read the kama sutra in uptalk
This has been bothering me for years...i don't understand why people do this. It's irritating when every sentence appears to be a friggin question being asked by someone I'm conversing with. I hate it !!!
Shut it
It drives me fkn crazy
Ah ya i hear it. Someone said linus tech tips talks with uptalk like a valley girl and i had no idea what they meant. West coast speak i guess
I still don't fully get it
Michael Scott
It was funny and annoying at the same time XD
oh fuck thats how i talk
@@rockwellrhodes7703 yeah I don't talk like this anymore I'm sure it was an issue with my testosterone levels. Low T, low confidence, anxiety, and then having to speak to people made me SO insecure. But not anymore.
@@SozINh 👏👏👏👏👏👏
People who talk like this are the absolute worst.
Seriously. Make me nauseous
I'm so sorry.
Sandra Mico you are a sorry person if you talk like this or defend anyone who does.
I'm sorry man where did the hippie touch you
when I hear someone talk like this I’m afraid to ask them about their gender
they usually tell upfront
Don’t forget to Stretch it out a little for emphasis. Equaaaaalllll
What's up talk?
This, and the overuse of ''Like'' and the way americans (especially californians) put cancer vowel ends on words. Example: No-ahh. Ew-ahh, makes me want go deaf, I'm 25..
lol you're gonna have a rough time in this world buddy
everytime i hear someone uptalk when talking about something that is painfully obvious, or doesnt even need to be said, i just wanna slap lol?
This is how that fucking guy trainwreckstv talks
Men don't pull off the high rising terminal as well as women do.
Is that true or do we just tolerate it better?
Basically the schitt's creek tv show people lol
Sounds like the band camp girl from American Pie.
So many gamers do this it's so horrible sounding especially now that for the past few years it's been popularized.
Context is important... If you had to memorize this and wasn’t sure if you said it right... ...then it’d make sense to say it with a question at the end...
Rudy Giuliani
Basically sounds like asking
i do not understand the story when they upspeak. it sounds insecure
soundinn like adam lz
Joe Rogan got me here
Between vocal uptalk and vocal fry, it's almost impossible to listen to young women.
Me to. How about the latest thing of incorrectly using the word "so" instead of "well" to begin a response to a question? For example, any question about just about anything: [Reporter}: Ms. Psaki, can you explain why cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House? [Psaki]: So, we don't have any information on that. Next question.
Uptalk is what is going to make you lose that job you dream about
Women do this a lot. Shows a lot of self confidence issues sounding unsure about what’s being said.
Um. Also it helps? to start with an apology? for the um quality of the uh the upcoming presentation… nervous laughter.
This would be the speech Cher would’ve made had it not been for the Haitians
Lmao
Joe Rogan brought me here
