I'd never heard of vocal fry before, but it's nice to know it's an actually recognised 'thing'. I now know exactly what it is I'm getting pissed off at!
And vocal fry is not unhealthy for the voice:

Vocal teachers actually used it as a therapeutic device to sooth the vocal cords when you've pushed it too far when belting, for example.
Yeah I noticed that back in 2011 too!
The second video immediately made me think of Britain's chief practitioner of this mannerism - Dr. Hannah Fry.
I'm now not going to be able to not notice it I think
I listen to a lot of radio. When TED radio hour, Moth radio and Radiolab are on, I sometimes have to switch off because some of their voices can be unendurable.
Obviously, some Brit voices can be horrible but they're not often so awful that I have to switch off.
Kinda cute when Emelia Clarke puts on her Cali from the Valley voice....
She is utterly lovely though.
Those American teen movies are completely unwatchable because of their effected speech.
Perhaps I’m just getting old
It's classic Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice from Channel 4's The Windsors though!
