Recently, during a radio interview, I heard a spokesperson talk engagingly about the cause she was promoting. Throughout the interview, though, I kept thinking, "This sounds like a worthy cause, and she's obviously sincere about her commitment to it. What's with the vocal fry affectation, though? I understand if she has a sore throat or grapples with dysphonia, as I do. If that's not the case, however, why would she want to sound like's croaking out her words?"
