One problem that we have now is people are abandoning the local colloquialisms and dialects in favor of some annoyingly perfect way of speaking from a classroom and not life. I want to pull my hair out when I hear it, and I can’t spare the hair.

The worst popular voice affectations, IMHO, are:

1) Voice grinding: Non-melodic, grindy, false gruff audiation, usually in females. Kardassians/Lard-ass-ians

2) Nasal: It sounds like the voice is solely through the nasal passages. Fran Drescher

3) Combination of 1 & 2: Jessica Tarlov
