he's still around, poked his head up on ad_buddies the other day, didn't recognise him (he'd forgotten his password as hadn't been on there for ages so was using different username). It was comical as he appeared to be just somebody asking for help with a router; i helped as best as i could then he said it was him; good job i gave him good advise really
this was a nice thread that got started. lol you have been kind to me creaky thumbs up to you thanks for all the info....
Edit: Ah, it's auslanders day for reviving threads I see .... well, what the hell, we all love our favorite creakster, though, with my bones, I think I should claim his name.
i can hear creaky now,with his Creaky voice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Creaky voice (also called laryngealisation or, in singing, vocal fry or glottal fry), is a special kind of phonation in which the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together; as a result, the vocal folds are compressed rather tightly, becoming relatively slack and compact, and forming a large, irregularly vibrating mass. The frequency of the vibration is very low (20–50 pulses per second, about two octaves below normal voice) and the airflow through the glottis is very slow. A slight degree of laryngealisation, occurring e.g. in some Korean consonants is called "stiff voice". There is some argument among music instructors as to whether or not this is an actual register as it can be used to add a raspy sound to other registers. By putting less amount of air on the cords than is needed for a clear tone of the pitch you are going for, the tone breaks up and becomes a rasp. Many Nu Metal singers use this technique to create a screaming sound. One example is Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. The Danish prosodic feature stød is an example of a form of laryngealisation that has a phonemic function. Creaky voice manifests itself in the idiolects of some American English speakers, particularly at the beginnings of sentences that the speaker wishes to "soft-pedal". This phenomenon is more prominent among female American English speakers than among male speakers. It can also occur accidentally when the speaker's throat is tired. link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creaky_voice
@Ireland...that was very interesting. In directing choirs, I've studied a "glottal stop" and "glottal plosive" but never a "glottal fry" though the term is most appropriate for the definition. Teach and learn, as ddp is fond of saying.
Oh we all hate creaky.. So much that I "deliberately" missed you on irc by about 10 minutes tonight (ask herby..he knows). Sorry I was late, but things went a bit mad around here. Hopefully soon, and you can give me the lowdown about living on a boat *hugs* Til then I'm gonna hang in the safety valve and the linux forums, and keep well away from everything else here. Byeeeee edit sig was oversize but now it's not.. ;=)
Ha ha nah creakies my man! But so long as it doesnt interfere with mine and ddp's world domination. Be a good servant and we will spare your life creaky
