I was delighted to talk to @neverpo.st about the acoustics of "influencer voice". We had a great discussion about the linguistic uses of uptalk and creaky voice/"vocal fry", language change & Labov's saccadic leaders, and why the speech styles on TikTok/Instagram/YouTube aren't really dialects.

Do you have 'TikTok voice'? It's OK if you don't want to get rid of it

If you end statements as if they're questions and speak with vocal fry, you may have "TikTok voice."
