Has anyone else noticed that young females--older teens and
20-somethings--have taken to speaking in a raspy monotone? I heard it from
some students first. Then, on a tip, I tuned into Paris Hilton on tv. Same
voice--the model, perhaps?
It's a vocal style that seems to come from the back of the throat. Very
fast-paced and difficult to understand...at least to me.
So, anyone here notice this? Anyone know when it will end?
