I do like her, but talk about God giveth and God taketh-away.
- All young women under the age of 30 have annoying voices. ALL of them. Fucking vocal fry.
- Ryan Seacrest
- Anyone who does that nasal, from-the-back-of-the-throat pronunciation of the "R" sound.
Mary Louise Parker does it a lot on "Weeds." Not sure how this got started, but now you hear it everywhere.

- Cheno ain't got nothin on that fucking JENNIFER TILLY!
And while we're at it, how disturbingly annoying and unwatchable is ROSIE PEREZ?
- R12, that was fucking hilarious and spot-on.
- Remember when actors and actresses worked on their voices? Trained their voices to be as nice-sounding as possible?
What happened to that?
- Gawwwwwn wit da winnnnnnnnnnd.
- Rene Zellweger, hands down.
Baby girl voices from grown-ass women are like nails on a chalkboard to me, but hers has to be the absolute worst.

- "Vocal fry" is an "epidemic" that only ancient DL posters notice/give a fuck about.
- Kelly Tilgman from the Golf channel. I have a visceral dislike for that woman's voice.
Paris Hilton - both her baby talk voice and her natural speaking voice.
Woody Allen
- Hello Harry how are ya?!

- R29 = Growling inanely through every idiot sentence of her miserable, boring existence, as she flirts with everything from breakfast cereal to shoe polish and "fries" intimately about her undescended testicle and her love of Merlot.
Women are the herd-consumer-copyists of the culture, and the inclusion of this vocal pattern is a pestilence. Only twats and the societally tone deaf talk the way this poster did.
- Ok, I watched the video, r12, bit l still don't know what vocal fry is. Anyone?
R10
- Ramona Singer on Real House Wives NYC. I really think Andy Cohen needs to dump her from the show. She makes it unwatchable. I have had to change the channel because of her.
- kim kardashian paris hilton and jesse eisenberg
- R32, I have never so much as heard the term "vocal fry" ANYWHERE outside of DL, yet DLers are obsessed with this supposed "phenomenon." What is anyone supposed to make of that? I guess I'll continue flirting with inanimate objects while you continue to find new unimportant inanities to seethe with eldergay bitterness over.

- R36 et al., if you could waddle yourself over to Google and note to 1.2 million hits on "vocal fry," you'd realize that not only are you an uninformed cunt but an isolate in a big, big world.
Now go scritch outside with your never-noticed vocal tics that drive the people around you crazy and attract other insects like yourself with the noise.
And don't come back.
- Barack Obama
He's such a phony with his ghetto voice to black audience and his pseudo white voice when he tries to be respectable.
Sad part is the black folk don't even know they're being talked down to.
- It's gotta be that guy who's on Leno all the time that sounds like a woman.
- Ross the Intern is still there, R48? I thought he went the way of MTV's Jesse Camp. Last I saw or heard of Ross was when I watched Leno's coverage of the 2002 Winter Olympics.

- Liam Gallagher singing at the Closing ceremony of the Olympics - his voice was very nasal and annoying.

- Matthew Broderick and Leonardo Di Caprio - still sound like boys.
Most Actresses under 35; their very girly voices practically sound the same
Zooey Deschanel; Arrgh is she even capable of speaking in any other way. Deeply grating and flat. Even her sister is nowhere near as bad!
Reese Witherspoon; too sharp and that southern accent OMG!
Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank; all sound very boring.
Clooney; has a nice smooth voice but only in small doses. Can sound far too smug after a while!
Gwyneth Paltrow; there's a reason she sounds better with an English Accent. It's by far less irritating and grating than when she talks with in her own Californian accent. Her base voice is not suited to an American one full stop.
Sofia Vergara; very loud and strongly accented voice
Most Australian Actresses; nearly all speak with very deep voices and chainsaw accents. Only the men sound sexy with it.
Colin Farrell; Irish Dublin accents are among the worst in the entire country. The perfect example of an urban city sounding collectively like they are living in Hicksville!

- "Vocal fry" may be something that exists. However, it is certainly not something that the average person allows themselves to be whipped up into an irrational frenzy over, let alone care enough about to notice on a regular basis. Hence why I said that this "epidemic" that causes so much rage exists only on DL. Oh, and R46? It's time to change your adult diaper, hon.

I hate her voice, have to turn the channel
- Many YouTube gay vloggers with overly dramatic, feminized voices. Don't even get started on "self-hating homo" callouts. Yes I realize there are a lot of femme guys out there; the guys I'm talking about are putting on a very affected show, and love to hear their own voice. Example: Davey Wavey
- David Beckham, Rod Stewart, Taylor Swift, Adele, Barbara Walters, and the gasping of Gavin MacLeod, Garrison Keeler and Drake Hogestyn.
