Finally I know the origin of the “NPR inhale”
I hope she gives Ayesha Rascoe some lessons, although her flaws don’t fall within the ones mentioned here.
I was not ready to hear Jessica’s face—-yep that’s how not ready I was
It’s high time for the outright Marxist corruption, the deliberate high gas prices, the deliberate bankrupting of the American public, the deliberate destruction of the US dollar, deliberate Hitler type killing of babies 28 days after they are born (outright murder), deliberately allowing Christians to be murdered in anti-Christian countries, & the weaponization of organizations to outright reduce our freedoms, to STOP! Go vote “biblically right” today, to stop this outright corruption.

Wow that last guy sounds like an actual singer
If you're having a hard time with the lip trills, you can take your index fingers and push them into your lower cheeks. It's sort of like a training wheel if your muscles are too weak.
I knew this was going to be a great video before I watched it and it did not disappoint! Susan Stamberg has one of my most favorite radio voices. She's amazing. I'm surprised some of them didn't know these exercises because I assumed they all had to do lots of vocal exercises in order to have such great voices.
Everyone should listen to the Science Friday episode on vocal fry.
When the Diane Rehm Show used to be on, I remember listeners calling in who had clearly written down what they were going to say beforehand and were just reading it. Not only did they choose wording you would tend to use when writing and not when speaking, but they sounded like they were reading mindlessly rather than talking. It reminds you how great public radio journalists' speaking voices are.
She has such a soothing voice. There's also a guy that also names sponsor and has a nice voice too.
