Vocal fry register

And he looks inside and there's an expired license and a piece of paper.

And they say, Agatha Dunst? It's called Vocal Fry.

It has just as many E's on the prop registration as you heard in Alison Rich's rendition of Christy's name.

And Plemons has to perform the bits about Vocal Fry and the parts where Rich is cracking herself up so hard she's drooling in old fashioned down her shirt.

It's difficult to convey how funny it is that that notorious Identikit sketch of D.B. Cooper has been modified for the episode to look like Taron Killam wearing a pair of Ray-Bans drawn by a five-year-old.

We talk about being authentic and being effective.

We talk about uptalk, vocal fry, preparing for presentations, and so much more.

If you've ever assumed your competence would carry you and be sufficient, then this conversation is one you need to hear.

My name is Ramona Shaw, and this is the Manager Track Podcast.

If you want to have tattoos all over your arm and on your forehead and on your neck, then you need to find a workplace that accepts that authentic piece of yourself, right? But if you're okay with covering it up and not complaining about it, because this place, this is what their culture is, then that needs to be, you know, you that day or you, you know, for that workplace.

But So it's tricky, right? It's really tricky.

And I'm going to tell you that there's a lot of folks who will say, I'm going to talk about that vocal fry or up speak.

And we can say, well, this is how I speak and I should be accepted for who I am.

so what's happening is as we enter these lower pitches, we're getting this kind of like crackly type sound.

It's almost like a vocal fry.

And American English very often does not actually do that.

Instead, what American English does when it taps into lower pitches is it transitions over to

We're trying to avoid that.

Okay.

One of the things that may help too, for instance, if you find yourself doing a vocal fry, some things that can help are one, talking a little bit firmer.

Okay, so like,

But you talk about your voice a lot in the book.

It's called Vocal Fry.

And you tried to change your voice, which I feel like that made me sad for you that you tried to change your voice.

Absolutely.

And that conversation with him where he said, you know, think about who has the most real estate on the network.

And it was Neil Cavuto at the time who said, was a man in his 60s, but had vocal fry, essentially.

It sounded like a car driving over gravel.

On today's episode of Bill and Frank's Guilt-Free Pleasures, we talk about a song that's all about smooching and has nothing to do with witches.

We talk about the proto-vocal Fry, and we talk about the proto-manic pixie dream girl.

Now get your head out of that bearded barley and listen to

this podcast.

Vocal fry.

It sounds as if your vocal cords have quite literally been fried.

So it's like this low, raspy sound that these people make with their voice when they talk.

Listen, I'm from California and I have a Valley Girl accent.

Like, what the fuck is that, bro? The fuck is that, man?

That's vocal fry.

Like the...

Vocal fry that he has...

Normal men don't talk like that...

I forget where I read this...

That's why Andy talks with his false vocal cords like Steve-O.

Yeah, I...

I won't mention it on air.
