So annoyed by vocal fry...

Question

Am I the only one who  annoyed by vocal fry, especially at work, especially when I know that person can speak normally? There are so many articles and videos on the internet about how people don't like, so why others keep speaking like that?

Looking for attention? Or trying to put emphasis on something?  I didn't even know what it was until I just googled it.  How bizarre.

I notice it in a lot of my younger, female colleagues. We did presentation training with a few teams to help combat some of it, but it simply appears to be how they talk. Short of elocution/voice training, I'm not sure what can be done. Blame the Kardashians. :)

I had to look it up, too. Seems there is therapy for it to correct the issue.

So many of the women I know from California speak this way as their normal voice; it's just something they can't stop at some point it seems.
