npr voices annoying

For everyone posting examples of patterns, if its possible to include a link to a Youtube video that illustrates the example, that would really help everyone know exactly what you are talking about. It may be a form of ageism, but there is truth to every stereotype. a. period. They also do this in Germany, quite memorably. The overuse of superlative adjectives. We cant ignore our own speech patterns if were going to engage in this sort of discussion. Or here in The UK / Ireland, Big Brother, Made in Chelsea to name but a few. This may be better: Pretty much everywhere to enunciate the ts in button is not correct. Its like an italian accent, but not that exactly cuz i can resist the italian english accent, but not this habit my friends do cuz i know theyre not italian. If I were grading you, your report would get, at best, a C-," the listener from Missouri concluded. Nothing new! Can you tell the audience exactly to what you are referring in your immediately preceding use of the word space? Another one that I have not seen anyone else mention is does that make sense after every sentence. This post & comments are fun because though annoying is a subjective quality, some of these patterns & phrasing are widely undesirable. Personally, I have a laundry list of poor speech and grammar pet peeves. Beyond annoying. It seems all females under age 35 speak this way. Yes her voice was tough to take but once you realized what she went through.well fuck. At least enough to curb your own use (and maybe the usage by your kids, spouse and/or significant other). I wonder if anyone was listing to the message and if the listeners are able to verify the accuracy or validity of the content. All Im hearing from this post is a lot of complaining over nothing. Kids used to be so proud when their cursive writing improved as they practiced it. Especially, the pervasive use of poor speech in the business world, and academia. At the end of a sentence? thing (and, as illustrated, often prematurely ending a sentence that actually wasnt? Im not sure if our primary education system is to blame for not putting enough emphasis on the spoken (or written) word for our younger generations, or whether it is more of a socialization and modeling of behavior that is rampant. I growl at every inflected, high rising, ramble sometimes eliciting concerned looks from family members. I dont care where you are from, how heavy your accent is of that area or even if you dont have a higher education, but if you can speak in a way that is commanding (rather than many of the demanding ways people converse now), you can talk about any subject, and I will be interested. And yes they sound condescending. I just wanna know whats the reason behind it so i can try to stop being annoyed hahaha. No more changing anything. every word. Sometimes reporters do incorporate feedback about their delivery. Part One: Into the Digital Era, Voice Over Trends 2022: Hottest Marketing Trends You Dont Want to Miss, Emotional Branding: The Power of Emotional Video Narratives, The Brand Anthem: What It Is, Why You Need One, An embarrassment in front of mom, dad or the general public, Unfit for any position that pays more than minimum wage. NPR seems to be doing a full-out Jessica Rabbit Via . I can focus and absorb what they are saying so much more easily. Another one that I see increasingly in many of those under 40, is known as g-dropping. No problem implies that the Thank you was not needed, because it was the right thing to do. Agreed, Debbie! Other wise, this is mostly normal talk for everyone. I have a friend who can code switch very well. When I hear someone at a store or restaurant say something else instead of Have a good one! I thank them for not being like the rest of the robots. Im wondering if there is a name for a pattern Im noticing when people start listing bullet point details. The education system. If reporters find that their voices are "tired," reducing vocal fry might be one way to help. The other tying vote is dropping the t, as stated above or over pronouncing the t to make up for the cur-an, moun-an folk. I absolutely abhor all of the speech patterns/words described here, however my biggest annoyance when it comes to TV voice overs is how extremely patronising and robotic they often sound. Its refreshing to hear someone else with similar tendencies, calling out the younger generation on so many of these types of habits, which, in effect, butcher the language and the beauty of its intended delivery. My current favorite is folks who add the word literally to every statement. But instead it sounds like I went to the STOre, then the gas STAtion, and then got something to EAT.. It feels like they want attention, or something else, from us and are using what they think are caressing tones. Can I just start by saying that two very annoying vocal trends that have reached us here in the UK / Northern Ireland in recent years are up speaking and vocal fry, which are bad enough on their own. I see and hear it every dingle day and never heard a man do it. Like things like like because its just, like, beyond ubiquitous and you already know about it. Do you see the bu**un? Pay attention and I promise youll start noticing these patterns in nearly every casual conversation you listen in on. I suppose if the heart is in the right place, we can forgive some of these transgressions of speech. Agree! why do young women want to sound freaky? I had never noticed the yeah yeah yeah but within ten minutes I heard it on tv. The one that really gets to me, (in addition to all the ones already mentioned), is the starting of a sentence with Wait, what? I dont mind hearing AAVE when its between friends but professional usage irks. There's still debate in the medical community about whether vocal fry harms the vocal folds, but Hansen said it can stress them. Criticizing someone's voice often seems to be a criticism of their identity. I think this is an absurd accusation. thank you again for such a thoughtful response. It is very annoying! Im going out on a limb and saying they use it because it is something definitive in their conversation. Young women of all nationalities reporting from the most secluded parts of the world use these odd tones, rhythms and inflections. Seems to be a constant request for recognitionas if we somehow cant stop to ask if we dont understand something. I was thinking maybe it was a Mexican/American thing (I am Canadian). Hansen has taught techniques including Shakespeare, musical theater, and microphone and audition skills to children and adults of all ages. Great discussion on these affectations of speech, thank you. I believe young women demonstrate many of these generational tics in an attempt to make themselves sound more attractive: The vocal fry to try to avoid high-pitched speech; the moan at the end of sentences to make it sexier; the schwa-ing to sound more intelligent. Look at any Hugh Grant movie, and youll see. Youre totally right. Hi Debbie and those commenting, all of whom I can identify with wholeheartedly. Unlike appearing simply one of the collective in using URGE, ENCOURAGE and SUGGEST which is a translation in beta male language, because we hate patriarchies, especially white ones, we can with ABSOLUTELY step past that level of making an indicator by laying the hammer on the anvil. Like any job, radio journalism requires training. upspeak, vocal fry, constant buzzwords, overworked filler phrases, etc. Perhaps Im better not to. culture that (IMO) is ruining our educational system. Has anyone experienced this verbal hostage taking? Guest (author/pundit/wannabe politician): Sure, so, moving forward, we obviously want to first see what reopening would look like, then secure the strategic infrastructure to sort of make that happen in this space (apparent reference to safe space). I actually literally sat down. I like to respond: as opposed to figuratively sat down, I suppose. But here is the one trend that makes every cell in my body burst: It is when (perhaps two trends, but related), for example, a writer or announcer will state there are two reasons for situation X. the first is Y. All this said, very few reporters or hosts speak on air exactly as they do in person. But its also absolutely true. Other times I believe people fall into a speech pattern comfortable to them without questioning the outcomes of or reactions to their words, phrasing & delivery. Im so glad I stumbled upon this story which consolidates all the worst habits of TV news people as well as the thread of reader responses. I view the word "like" in the entire opposite manner than a lot of those critics. Then there is the over use of the word Like & So Very. I abhor this glottal stop. Dont know if this is quite in the same league, but watching YouTube videos, there is a channel called Triggernometry I like that does interesting interviews/chats on sometimes contentious topics. Also have you noticed that many reporters and tv personalities will repeat words over and over like that that that that,,,and, and, and and to to to to which is now ta ta ta ta (examplethey were going ta ta ta be there on Friday) etc. Great article. I think it was about a year ago that I first noticed this creeping into speech. Also the northeastern dis, dat, dem and does for this, that, them and those. Instant shutdown. Thats what it sounded like to me in your video. Drives me nuts. Sportscasters use it, friends use it in convos, but uh, hey, whats wrong with that? the kind of and sort of virus has been making the rounds of cable news hosts and pundits, and its literally driving me crazy, you know what i mean? 2) Adding Sh sound to words starting with ST, as mentioned in earlier comment. Unfortunately the word, the shouting and the angry demeanor are now used by many standup comedians in place of jokes. Sorry about that, but its the only way to bring awareness to this type of conversational disease in hopes that it can be eradicated very soon. I mean, if it really was a problem that I say that phrase whenever Im trying to make my point, what difference does it make? Whatever! Unfortunately most people dont even notice they have been infected, or they simply dont care, leaving people like me to go crazy. So should only be used at the beginning of a sentence when you are either asking a new question or starting a whole new topic of conversation. Valspeak is, like, short for the way Valley Girls talk that was, like, you know, so big Frank Zappa sang about it in 1982. The worst speech pattern for me is when the speaker put strong emphasis on many words in the same sentence, for example: But this pattern is now very diffuse, especially for people who do speeches, they think that putting a strong emphasis on each words makes their speech more powerful, while in reality it just dilutes the effect because now most words are pronunced with emphasis. Tripp, I agree completely. Oh my Godd-uh! This dessert was super easy to make! I dont consider it thoughtful because the next word follows immediately. Also, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhh when they see a puppy or baby or receive a gift, etc. And that is how I found your comment lol! Awesome and absolutely. What about using the words at all, at the end of a sentence. It sounds like cookie cutter script. It is so rehearsed and not natural. I don't think the latter is our goal.". I particularly despise yeah yeah yeah and starting sentences with So. I think its rather sad. Most annoying speech pattern of the decade? Thank you so much for validating my comments to my skeptical wife. Good English dictates brevity as a virtue; much, is redundant here. This is a huge trend on YouTube right now and its quite annoying. I mean, hello! But even more bothersome is the growing ubiquity of Thank you having me in response to a host or interviewer saying Thank you to a guest at the end of a segment, or even in response to Thank you for joining us at the beginning of their conversation. whether your repeated use of the term space is conscious, or simply As far as voice sounds, I do hear vocal fry on occasion and I notice men do it as well as women but women are more often chastised for it. For example youre not just happy to be here today youre SUPER happy. Its super annoying. Corollary: being excited about even the most routine, long-anticipated events, such as the press release I saw last week about a new software upgrade that the developer was super excited to announce. That was actually in the written press release. I only have radio, and mostly listen to public radio local, national, and world. Listeners have concerns about grammar, and filler words such as "um," "like" and "so." One of her favorites is Shtrategy. Or is it gender? And when reporters and hosts deviate from that supposed standard, our office hears about it. I suppose since the rulers of NPR have daughters who all speak like this. I see it in newscasts all the time being used by educated people. And so, yeah. Its so common and I cannot believe speakers do NOT hear this on playback?!?
