- Men use "vocal fry" more than women, counter to stereotype
Research by Jeanne Brown, a graduate student at McGill University, found that men use vocal fry more than women, contrary to the popular stereotype. Vocal fry is a speech pattern characterized by a drop in pitch, usually at the end of sentences. The findings were presented at the Acoustical Society of America meeting in Philadelphia.
