There is a problem with vocal fry: Older people can’t hear what the frying speaker is saying-or mishear what chi is saying. Personally I find it an irritating affectation which, I’m guessing, is supposed to project an aloof attitude. What’s so cool about sounding disaffected I don’t know, but many fryers can’t seem to distinguish when it’s appropriate. Here’s a tip: if you’re not trying to be cool with your friends, then don’t do it. If I was an employer, I wouldn’t hire anybody who can’t figure that out-especially when dealing with the public. I realize it’s a trend or fad, but it’s annoying in situations where fashion or affectation isn’t needed or wanted.

If you talk a lot, without rest. You get sick. Specially .midnight.

How can not loud here

you know it would help a lot if the video were sectioned out with parts and time stamps

Both of parents were hard of hearing, (they required hearing aids in order to hear). I suspect this could be the root of my high volume.

Cool content. I am a singer but i never think in the resonant at talking. Thank you!

Is it ok for Speakers who talk to an audience close their eyes?

Thank you. It's already hard struggeling as an adult with this matter. I appreciate that you try to help trough this video. Thanks for the tips

Very good advice. Thank you ❤

I'm loud and I talk too much, it makes people uneasy, i want to learn how to be quieter

you are looking like a robot , btw great content ...thankyou mam love from INDIA.

When I was younger in middle school I would try screaming so my voice would be quiet and more silent almost damaging my vocals permanently

1:29 Sweet Spot explained

You have a beautiful speaking voice. Thanks for the tips, I'll try to tone it down!

You r awesome. Love your voice

It is so refreshing to listen to this woman speak clearly. If you want to know how much VF has changed our culture, go back and watch videos of young people talking at shopping malls in the 80's. Not one single female talked like this. This change has happened so gradually that, like the frog in the slowly boiling pot, we weren't aware of it until it just got to be too much. Today, professional news casters will speak with VF. I guess I'm just an old "you kids get off my lawn" guy, but I just can't abide by it. It immediately erodes the authority of the person speaking.

My coworkers keep saying that I am mad or that i am bossy, the truth i am too loud and can’t change it. I need help

Is this have anything to do with your ears and you are not aware you are talking so loud.

Please can you also talk about resonators? I just heard about them and I really want to learn about it.❤

Please can you do more videos like this ? Especially for ladies with loud voice

Thanks dear My voice is masculine and always coarse. I just noticed that after sitting for pte exam. I do well in all modules except in speaking because of pitch issue. I used voice tool and its always pointing towards male voice. Please how do i make it feminine?

This is my EXACT situation!!!! I'm still a bit confused, do you have any exercises to help find the sweet spot??

I didn't think I'd be able to find a video to help me with my exact problem!! I feel like I push my voice down to a place that as you said is not anatomically comfortable. I can't wait to watch your other video! Thank you SO MUCH!

Thanks for your useful tips, and really appreciate you sharing the social political aspect about voice.

I certainly agree with her. Thank you so much this was so helpful. I'm glad I watched your video.

Im 13 and my voice sounds like im 10 ☠️ hope this works

Maybe because I've spent really long periods of time by myself not speaking, and I'm not used to using my voice as much as I used to use it...and I like the intention, and I want to work more on the grounding myself first and speaking with only good intent.

I've had some major trauma and injuries to my face in life, and I notice that it seems that with age and other injuries to my body, it's gotten more and more difficult for me to project my voice. It feels like when I speak too much at a higher level my face ends up having major pain, does this just mean I need to exercise my facial muscles more? or rest them more? or maybe I just won't ever be able to project? I was born with a broken face too...my father said I had two black eyes. So maybe my voice was broken at birth :(

Lots of explanations, but where was the coaching??

There are people who do indeed suffer from vocal fry, and for these people I admire the help in this video. That said; there are swaths of people (usually drawn to TikTok and influencing) who purposefully add it to their voices. It's pretty obvious it's a societal pressure they are both believing, and bowing down to in the belief that it makes them sound more exclusive to their viewers. The reality though is that most people aren't buying it, and the only people they are fooling are themselves. These people don't need voice training. What they need is a lengthy hiatus from social media, fashion magazines, television, or any other medium that keeps telling them that they are simply not good enough. They need to go and travel. They need to take up natural hobbies, and spend a lot of time learning how to love themselves again. The human voice can be truly beautiful. Even people who can't sing particularly well will still speak in notes. Those notes are beautiful. The vocal fry stems from a sense of inner worthlessness, so it's the ultimate irony that one would add vocal fry to their style of talking in order to achieve an air of exclusivity and authority. Vocal Fry within itself is the ultimate expression of presenting a phoney front in order to cover up an underlying lack of self belief. Men and women of the younger generations needs to wake up to this fact and reset.

This is perfect, now people will like me! Thanks!

How doesn't this have more views? Amazing advice. Thank you!

This is mind blowing

So you talk powerfully, why would you quash that just to make the wimpy more comfortable (and enabling their wimpiness).

Reason #3 : I'm in the company of someone I resent or who I don't feel is worth using my 'public voice' for, get asked a question. Reason #4 : I'm at home by myself and have been speaking all day in an exciting environment, I am tired. Try to dictate something or record a spoken word message for someone. Sounds like I'm dragging a bag of gravel with my larynx, doesn't matter what fundamental I move to. BANE OF MY LIFE.

Hello Ma, i don't know if mine is worser because whenever i try to get slow i talk more faster than before 😢

I'm an older German woman who likes to watch all kinds of documentations in English language. A while ago I noticed vocal fry more and more, and I didn't even know there was a name for it and that it was being discussed, as we don't have it here at all. Especially one air crash investigator lady in a video talked like this all the time. It actually bothered me so much that I went on fast forward until somebody else started to speak. What bothered me? First of all, I could hardly understand her with English not being my native language. It felt like the additional energy that she didn't invest into speaking clearly was now on my side - I needed a lot of additional energy to just understand what she was saying. In addition it didn't sound nice, it felt artificial and I always feared she would suffocate before the end of the next sentence. I am very glad and grateful for this video and also for all the comments explaining all the possible reasons why it happens, and that not everyone does it on purpose (because that was my assumption). It is now easier for me to not get judgemental when I hear it, and I still have the option to fast forward if it's too exhausting trying to understand that person. And I'm also sorry for my assumption.

Thanks, ma'am. Creating images on the back of the mind may be a good idea. Let me practice it. Many times, I stammer on a few words starting with "R" or on any random word. People don't understand what I speak for a few minutes due to fast speed and pronunciation issues. Kindly advise me on this. Thanks a ton in advance.

I’m gonna try this and let yall know how it goes cause everybody in the comments is just telling their sob story and very few are giving actual updates on how they’re doing so hopefully this can be the start of a thread? I’ll start first. I’m at work and in a very social setting. Will update after

Confident is the key. But too bad, confident doesn't come out of nowhere.

First my voice was very good but after 6th standard my voice became very low don't know why 😭 , if a try to speak loudly then my voice get automatic change don't know how can i bring my old voice 😢

i’m very insecure about how loud i speak, i can’t control it though and everybody makes comments about it

I’m a bit late, but when I get nervous my accent seems to change. When I was at school we had to present our presentation in front of the class and after I was done these two girls asked me where I was from. I said I was from here, the US, and they thought I sounded British. Being nervous has an effect on my voice somehow. Those two girls weren’t the first people to ask me that either. It could be that I am learning a new language, but I doubt that’s the reason. Do you have any tips on why this is occurring and how I could improve on not doing it? I’m not trying to do it on purpose, or to upset someone. It just changes when I get nervous or have to speak professionally

Likewise her/your “liddel” for ‘little’….Ghastly!

Nice, love it ! 💙

How do i move the balls of my feet?

No one has ever complained about my voice being too loud, except my mom and sister, who are just as loud, and are probably the reason I've had to speak loudly my whole life.

Your channel is a storehouse of wisdom!

Is it completely fine if I take the information given here and apply it to expand my vocal range for both speaking and singing (although this isn't about the latter)?
