\"VocalA few months ago we watched a show called Whodunnit<\/em>. I don’t remember the channel, I don’t remember who won, I don’t remember even liking the show, but I do remember this: One of the girls on the show talked a certain way through an entire episode, and it really irritated me. My husband thought she had a bad cold, and he wondered when I started being such a pain in the neck about other people’s voices.<\/p>\n

(In 2007 I had an operation which left one of my vocal chords paralyzed. \u00a0I went to a speech therapist for a year. My vocal chord is still paralyzed but the other one is compensating for it, and after a lot of “EEEE” scales, my voice has returned to normal.)<\/p>\n

Getting back to my purpose of this entry which has absolutely nothing to do with mysteries, other than this new epidemic is a mystery to me!<\/p>\n

The phenomena I’m talking about is “vocal fry”. I’m sure you have heard it, you may just not know that the women using it aren’t sick with a cold. I actually have looked it up and see that it used to be a type of speech disorder. And, yikes, as irritating as vocal fry is to me when I hear women using it, I have actually started to hear men on television using it. What is with that?!?<\/p>\n

I read that there may be a chance of vocal fry actually damaging your vocal chords. (Believe me, you don’t want to do that!)<\/p>\n

So, now that I have complained about this new, growing trend, here is a YouTube clip for those of you who aren’t sure what it is. The clip aired during September 2013 on the CBS News Sunday Morning show.<\/p>\n

(Sorry, this video is no longer available.)<\/p>\n

PS>>> Now that I know how to put these videos into my entries, I am going to have to control myself! I’m hoping the newness will wear off…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
