Croaky Voiced Women

Still can't understand this - increasingly more young to middle aged females are adopting croaky voices (one on The Chase now), particularly towards the end of sentences. Clearly this is cool. Is it American or something to do with sounding less feminine?

I think it may be “vocal fry” to which the op is referring. Popularised on US podcasts such as Serial and others.

I think it's defo a fashion thing but wondered if it could be Long Covid related

I think Stan Collymore could be the cause of this woman having a croaky voice he is often seen knocking about on The Chase.

It's been a thing in the USA for years now, croaky voice, talking without pauses and little or no gap between words.

Nah. Just another thread where middle-aged men can vent their unhappiness at everything and everyone, especially women.

Please don’t be so disparaging about us middle aged men - we do get upset and offended quite easily and it is also bordering on ageism. I could have you banned for that.

[Billy Balfour]

Banned for mentioning the 'quirks' of middle aged men would be a first.

There is only one cure for croaky voiced women ..Something warm and silky down the throat like glycerin.

[Quicknick]

Are you sure they're women? I mean, it is the trend...
