Social Upspeak vs Vocal fry

[chill doggie]

Do you find these intonations/vocal registries abominable and insufferable? Which one deserves a punch in the throat the most?

I find upspeak sickening, vocal fry is annoying as shit too but something about the sound of a man especially that talks in an effeminate bourgeoise teen voice makes me wanna fill the room with uppercuts and bullet holes.
Maybe it’s not as annoying in a woman because all the times that I’ve felt revulsion recently when hearing it was from guys.
I think the “gay voice” is not even as bad as that one.

Vocal fry is probably equally annoying in women and men. Had a hard time getting thru a podcast I like that had a girl croaking like a damn chain smoking frog the whole time.

Make America articulate again.

its because we are used to hear the vocal cords of someone talking vibrating at a certain and consistent rate. When someone is talking in a fry the vocal cords vibrate at a much slower and inconsistent rate.

 

[Stump]

Absolutely hate the fry. Unlistentoable.

Annoyed by the upspeak.

Dont care at all about the gay voice.

 

[pugilistico]

What is vocal fry? What I notice these days with young people, especially men is that the words just drool out of their mouths. I must be getting old because I want to be like "Stop mumbling! Articulate your words!"

I wouldn't want to speak in vocal fry, but I'd love to have a voice that was lower than whale shit like JD Sumner to freak the hell out of people.

I appreciate that maybe you don't want to talk down to us, but are you under the impression this is common knowledge? Or is it me who is crazy in thinking it isn't?

I had no idea what the hell you were talking about. I had to look both of these terms up.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Vocal fry makes you purposely sound retarded. At least upspeak is just gay voice

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

The gay flamboyant voice is the most cringy and annoying to be honest.

most, if not all vocal affectations are insufferable.

Crazy or Mad? I think not, haven't got clue what he's trying to say either.....

This is a non-parody person actually talking like that, just skip around to any random part of the interview where she is talking:

I met a dude from Bosnia a couple years back that described it quite well with women from California... he said that it sounds like they're singing when they talk. I was like damn, that's a great observation.

Also, there is a woman that works for my company that ends her sentences on a high note lol. Everyone makes fun of her.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Upspeak is absolutely annoying to listen to. Want to slap them when I hear it.

Vocal fry can be too, but I don’t find it as intolerable. Probably because a lot of folks speak like that where I’m from, so you get used to it.

My wife watches this HGTV show and this chick annoys the hell out of me with the vocal fry. I learned about it from a thread on here earlier this year and now it drives me crazy because I can't unhear it anymore.

I hated her voice before I hit play. I would go insane in a matter of minutes if I were regularly around that.

 

[blaseblase]

Am I the only one who has no idea what TS is talking about? What is vocal fry/upspeak? Is this Internet nerd lingo?

 

[Patrick Jane]

Both are disgusting but upspeak is worse.

 

[Spam On Rye]

It makes women sound dumb and ghey men sound ghey and dumb.

 

[Pliny Pete]

I'm so confused, I was assuming these were computer programs or some shit LoL

"Huuur, duuuur. Yeaaaaah..."
