I read the article on the vocal fry—and I agree it makes the speaker sound like an arrogant jerk con artist.
But my question is—is it intentional or is it an accent that some people pick up?
“But my question is—is it intentional or is it an accent that some people pick up?”
I think people pick it up from other people, like thr “Valley Girl” fad. I’ve noticed that some guys do it, but as much as females, and they’re usually sporting man buns.
But when it comes to that Christine Blasey Ford at the Kavanaugh hearings... iI think it was intentional to make her appear childlike and innocent.
Whatever... it is ANNOYING!
