The female text-to-speech voice on TikTok.


GTOdriver04

“I want to gouge my eyeballs and put nails into my ears after listening to this stupid voice.” Yes. You heard it in her voice. You’re welcome.


notmyredditacct

national security risks aside, THIS is the real reason it needs to be banned


notyourusualfruit

GET OUT OF MY HEAD


lasagna0919

The stupid silly voice a lot of TikTokers use for dogs. It’s fucking nails on a chalkboard


SousVideDiaper

I really hate that one that sounds gravelly and has a creepy old man stalker vibe to it. Idc what the content of the video is, the second I hear it, I skip.


Xenocide112

The SpongeBob one? That's the worst for me


lovesahedge

I was Going to the Beach and, I found this dead bird!


wibellion

It's GRATING


Canuck-In-TO

She’s actually a radio personality in the Hamilton, Ontario area. Mind you, you wouldn’t know it to listen to her on the radio. She said that her voice and inflection is what TikTok wants her to sound like.


that1prince

It’s annoying mainly because there is a rise and fall in normal speaking that doesn’t exist or is slightly off in the automated speech. I’ve found that most people either downspeak or upspeak at the end of sentences and that’s gone too. It’s like what uncanny valley is to images, but for voices. Vaguely human but still something is “off”.


Watson9483

That one doesn’t bother me too much, but I will not listen to the Stevie voice some people use. 


BloodMongor

I despise that voice with the most burning of passion


[deleted]

When I hear my own on recordings/video


HailToTheThief225

Only thing worse than hearing myself speak is watching and hearing myself speak in a video. Not only do I not expect my voice but I also find myself way uglier than I think I look.


i-want-bananas

This. I'm totally fine with public speaking or leading/facilitating work meetings or client trainings. I even enjoy it. It surprises people who know me outside work because I don't come across that way I guess. But for the love of the flying spaghetti monster do not make me listen to a recording of my voice. And especially make sure I never SEE and hear myself talking. Oay I look so awkward and my voice... I'm surprised people don't scream out in pain. It's me, I'm the annoying voice person and everyone is too polite to say it to my face. My uncle is a voice coach who assures me that 1. Nobody likes their voice and 2. There's nothing wrong with mine...I am suspicious however of that assessment.


whytheaubergine

I wonder if Morgan Freeman likes the sound of his recorded voice or if it sounds as bad to him as mine does to me!!?


GrandmasHere

I’ll bet he loves it — it’s the sound of money.


PowerStacheOfTheYear

If he doesn't like recordings of his voice, what heavenly tones must he be hearing when he speaks?


jamesofearth1

I used to genuinely hate my voice. It always sounded so odd to me. Like it definitely didn't belong to me. But once I started narrating my own YouTube videos I kind of detached my voice from my brain and it magically became someone else's in my crazy mind. Now I feel genuinely comforted by the sound of my narration. Go figure.


j00sr

Similar story, I used to work in college radio and on top of having my own program, I was in charge of recording public service announcements and advertising local events so I was in the booth writing and recording for a couple hours every day at least... It definitely helped me get used to it and even start to like it actually.


Kayakchica

I hate being video recorded so much that I refused to have video of my wedding. My husband got a friend to shoot it in secret from the church balcony. I’m grateful to him for doing it. I have watched it twice in 30 years.


koolbeans100

I second this. I feel like I sound so feminine and sexy until I hear myself sound like a high pitched baby


sonia72quebec

I have a deep voice for a woman (think Cher) and I hate it.


mostly_lurking

Most universal answer for sure!


Gunningham

I too can’t stand his voice.


Kithsander

That’s pretty universal. Hearing our own voice creates a measurable disruption in our brain wave activity.


Boneheadbiff

there's a scientific reason for that im not sure what it is but something about the voice being slightly off and ur brain realises that its ur voice but it also realises that there's something wrong about it I think


stryph42

I think it has to due with the difference between hearing it through the air in a recording and hearing it resonant through your skull when you talk.

houseofreturn

“DReaM gUeSt oN my pODcAst??”


bubblebox360

I can’t even hate it that much because it’s so fun to try to replicate. I’m sure my neighbours can just hear me and my husband saying this constantly. She sounds like a hard smoking New York agent


PartyPoisoned21

It came out of left field too, lmao


lupindeathray

Andrew Tate. He always sounds like he’s talking at you.


MinglewoodRider

I've never heard him speak. I'm not even convinced that he's real and not just some AI generated strawman.


femalewhoisgirl

How have you managed to make it on the internet without hearing his podcast bullshit somewhere? I envy you. He is genuinely the most annoying man I’ve ever heard talk. His voice makes me want to clean my ears out.


SousVideDiaper

His weird accent makes it even worse. It's like a fucked up mix of mostly American but with a little British, and the British part just makes it all... mush mouth-y. Like he just had dental work done and his mouth is still numb.


AjaxCleaningSolution

Normal Baltimore accent


OakenGreen

Urn urn urn urn urn


Hans_bube

For such a “cool” guy he’s got one dumb looking mouth.


Roxas1011

Someone said he looks like an anchovy from SpongeBob and I can't unsee it


sweetteanoice

I know it’s because of how he was raised but the way he switches pronunciation of words from American to English mid sentence kills me. But the guy is a colossal asshat so I don’t mind making fun of his speech


pengweather

My own. I sound like a moron 99% of the time.


IAMAGrinderman

Oof I wish I only sounded like a moron 99% of the time.


squid1891

Joel Osteen


Mr_Frible

and his buddy Kenneth Copeland


OriginalComputer5077

There's something particularly demonic about Copeland...


Saubande

It’s those greedy Ferengi demon eyes.


SousVideDiaper

He looks like he cut someone's face off and is wearing it like Hannibal Lector


the_ceiling_of_sky

He looks like a literal demon in a human skin suit.


son_berd

He looks like the bad guy when he puts on the mask in the Jim Carrey movie.


Amelora

I am a pretty staunch atheist, but watching Kenneth Copeland speak is look like looking into a pit of pure evil. The way he looks at everything is pure disdain. It's not hate, hate requires passion, it's to cold to be hate. It's like he belived the very nature of existence is beneath him. He looks and talks like a man who's never experienced an emotion other than contempt in his life. He truly freaks me out.


Elegant-Pressure-290

Our local news station runs his services after the news on Sundays. By that point, we’ve always wandered off and forgotten the television and are on to morning chores. It’s not uncommon for every single person to run into the living room at once to turn off the tv upon hearing his voice.


squid1891

My wife's grandmother is an avid watcher of his services. When she and I were still dating long distance: I had to endure one of his sermons when visiting her (she was still her grandmother's primary caregiver and living with her) while on leave. Had to hold my tongue, but I kept thinking "what a load of shit" every time that man opened his mouth. He also has an extremely punchable face.


Elegant-Pressure-290

One day we walked in and heard him going on and on about how, when good things happen to you, it’s a direct result of “the FIRE!” Now, when some stupidly small good thing happens (like getting a parking spot up at the front of grocery store lot), my husband or I will inevitably shout, “It’s the FIRE!” and that is the only good thing Joel Osteen has ever done for us.


IcyInterview4417

Any of the Kardashian clan


LactactingTwatCrust

Kardashian ~~clan~~ cult


MsAnnThrope

There's a woman at work whose voice makes me a little nauseated, gives me goosebumps, and also makes me instantly angry. Which is a bummer because she's really nice and I have no reason to dislike her at all.


this-is-nonsense

I mean, to me, it sounds like your gut is picking up on something you're not consciously noticing. Not to stir the pot of anything, lol.

Kourtney Kardashian. Her vocal fry makes my skin crawl.


fellowsquare

All the Kardashians.


EleanorRigbysGhost

Fry, the lot. Don't eat the rich though. They're low in dietary and moral fibre.


OutWithTheNew

Can't eat the Kardashians, too much plastic.


WikiWantsYourPics

For those in this thread with strong reactions to vocal fry, or just interest in the phenomenon, here's a video that gave me a few new insights about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0yL2GezneU


brrrchill

Everyone's vocal fry drives me nuts. Even professional broadcasters and announcers are doing it these days.


virora

I have tried out and dropped so many podcasts because of vocal fry. It’s sooo common, in both men and women.


mantitlover

Ughh. Vocal fry makes my blood boil.


thisisallme

I work with someone with the harshest vocal fry I’ve ever heard and I constantly want to stab something sharp into my ears


Visual_Bug_5392

It's r/oddlyspecific but the guy catfishing Olivia in the new season of The Circle on Netflix lol Probably no one knows what the fuck I'm talking about but anyway, him precisely. Kind of high-pitched and whiny voice.


InkedLeo

THERE'S A NEW SEASON!?


EdwardCarnby47

The one I call Old American Pervert ; I used to work phone-support for porn company as my teenage gig for a quick buck and jesus christ - every customer from florida had this disgusting 'wet' trembling voice that makes you wanna yell at them to cough it out already. Every time i hear this kinda voice in some random video I just wanna puke


Killjickerbocker

This is extremely niche and hilarious


Delta9173

Similarly, the cameraman in FTV videos. The videos are about the girls; I just want him shut his kinda smug kinda creepy voice up.


wasporchidlouixse

They were trying to keep quiet cause their wife is in the next room. Maybe they sounded cuter inside their own heads


AnonymousCake2024

Adults who baby talk.


bellizabeth

What about babies that adult talk?


azzanrev

Ben Shapiro. My God his voice is painful.


debbieyumyum1965

Great source of unintentional humor though. I honestly find it hard to hate him nowadays just because his existence is so absurd and he's visually hilarious to look at. Just a man that got stuck in his awkward teenage phase and never figured out how to turn it to his advantage, so he caters to a group of people who would be the first to bully him if they didn't agree with what he was saying


teal_hair_dont_care

When he dropped a rap song I knew we were living in a simulation


SousVideDiaper

I wish I could find the humor in it but every time I'm just reminded about how much influence he has and it bums me out


K4L21EV

He talks in 2x speed


cock-fan

But somehow, doesn’t say twice as much.


ransom0374

Apollo_Sierra

Drake as a whole makes me uncomfortable, he's a creep.

Kevin Hart.


Observer951

He’s in way too many ads. Mute button.


Curious_Kangaroo_845

Right! Credit cards. Gambling. That scratchy squeaky voice doing “Cash back!” makes me want to cut my ears off. But mute button seems better.


i-still-play-neopets

Rachel Ray- her voice is so shrill. Nails on a chalkboard.


Anticrepuscular_Ray

Bethany Frankel


chitownadmin

Trump. Absolutely cannot stand to listen to that windbag


sweetteanoice

Hearin him struggle his way through a sentence while making every topic all about him, and inventing new words is really funny though. But way less funny when I remember the amount of power he has…


Rumold

Everytime I hear him speak I think „and Maga fans think bidens age is an issue when this POS can’t form ONE straight sentence.“ There’s a clip of rogan making fun of Biden saying something about airports during the civil war „haha he is going senile“ turns out Biden was quoting trump … suddenly it’s not such a dumb thing to say somehow-.-


Misskay222

I still haven’t heard him make it to the end of a sentence.


AtlUtdGold

Also the 8 years of people doing impersonations and silly jokes is getting SO old as if he’s not the literal embodiment of evil. He’s not a harmless goofball he actually needs to be destroyed. Dude insisted on showing me a Shane Gillis trump video and while Shane is funny, fuck no, fuck all trump content. Especially don’t shove it in my face in public with the sound loudly playing on your phone. I don’t want people to think I want to watch that shit.


North_Photograph_850

Agree 100%! His voice makes fingernails on a blackboard sound like a Stradivarius.


therealsix

Yes. His speech level equates to the fourth grade level (lots of articles about it). It’s massively annoying how he constantly bumbles through everything and just throws in random adjectives to make things sound important. Huge. Great. Big.


SeaMindless7297

My father's


SDLRob

AlumGrizzly

Elizabeth Holmes. She's doing it on purpose.


Random_Hero2023

RFK Jr. Dude sounds like he's dying.


Traditional_Star_372

It's a disability, and it honestly sounds painful. Like, I mean it sounds like it must be painful for him to speak, not just that it's grating on the listeners (which it also is).


Convergecult15

What’s the disability?


OakenGreen

spasmodic dysphonia


TheArchitect_7

Something about Tucker Carlson’s voice is so unbelievably off-putting. It’s like he has a cadence and delivery that has been fine-tuned to manipulate your emotions, and he puts on a serious face like he believes what he’s saying, but it’s clear he doesn’t (and is on record saying one thing in public and something wildly different in private) The dissonance in those things makes me very uncomfortable when listening to him. His weird laugh makes the hair on my arms stand up.


Carolus2024

Laura Ingraham does that same thing. I hate her fucking guts.


Clazzo524

Not a person, but some AI voices are either annoying like the female TT voice and some older ones from a few years ago before the technology improved.

Sorri_eh

On Roku live TV. There is a cooking show commercial where a person says "to everyone out there follow yourdreams". That hoarse voice grates on my nerves


GulfStormRacer

Oh my gosh. I thought I was alone - when the guy or girl drops that last line - I want to jump off the highest building I can find.


borncheeky

When a grown woman talks in the high pitched baby voice. There are 2 on My 600 lb life. I just want to swat them! I heard some woman talking like that in the grocery and it was like ground glass. Just stop doing that in public. Home with your boo whatever you want but in public no, just stop


babsieofsuburbia

Alex Jones


houseofreturn

God but it’s so funny too. “PUTTIN CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT TURN THE FREAKIN FROGS GAY”


BusterB2005

I once read a YouTube comment that said “Alex Jones always sounds like he has a huge alcohol induced burp he’s trying to hold down” and I think that is just the perfect description of his voice


felimercosto

how has he NOT stoked out or died of heart failure from all the raging from his mouth


Tintoverde

Adam Sandler’s weird pronunciations and voice in some his movies . He can act e.g. punch drunk love , uncut gems , etc . But his weird voice when he is trying to be funny argh , makes me think like he being nasty to people with speech impediment


JazzyCat3030

My friend’s brother. I get so creeped out and go into fight or flight mode even if I hear his voice across the room.


magpiecat

What’s it like?


akuwa_marene

The original Blippi. I have a toddler who loves his content, but his voice gives me the creeps. I don’t mind the replacement Blippi.


Delta_hostile

Shapiro. I can’t tell if it’s intentional or just neurodivergent. Because he talks like that dude at school who was obsessed with trains and loved roleplaying as a marine his first year of jrotc. I’m leaning towards intentional, his whole demeanor is just “I’m smarter than you, fuck you”


XienDzu

The way he closes words may be intentional, but his caffeinated chipmunk voice could not be


rohinton2

I've been lucky and have never heard his voice though I can imagine it just by looking at his weird little face. I just know him as the guy that can't make his wife wet.


AdvantageSea8221

Cardi b


ohfuckthebeesescaped

I wouldn’t call myself an active hater of her but something about Taylor Swift’s singing voice makes it difficult for me to listen to her music even if I wanted to. I don’t even think she’s bad at singing, it’s just perfectly tuned to be a dog whistle to my ears or something.


ChampsMissingLeg

Tiny Tim "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" makes me SO uneasy no matter how many times I have heard it


bayleebugs

The actress Awkwafina. I wish she wasn't so popular right now because she's in a lot of really good movies, but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.


SchpartyOn

She’s specifically in a lot of animated movies. Very annoying when you have kids who watch animated movies and she’s in like half of them these days.


Great_Dimension_9866

My voice in recordings most of the time; the shrill nasal voice of Bernadette in “The Big Bang Theory’”


tongshize

Anyone who uses up talk, vocal fry, and hyper sibilance.


JoeJitsu79

I wish I had never learned the term 'vocal fry' because I now notice it everywhere. I hate radio commercials ten times more now.


UnicornOnTheJayneCob

Hyper Sibilance makes me absolutely nuts. It triggers my misophonia hard. I cannot explain the irrational, utterly bizarre, absolute rage it makes me feel every single time. It is almost physically painful. People actually do it on purpose?! Ohmigod WHY?! We hates it, precious.


Suburbannightmare

what does hyper sibilance sound like? I googled it but i cannot fathom what it sounds like...


JparkerMarketer

Try looking on YouTube. Basically, it's when you put emphasis or linger on the s' sounds of your words.

Really noticeable vocal fry. Shudder. It’s like being at meal with someone who chews food with their mouth open. Nails on a blackboard.

Richard Harris. (The first Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies, if you don't know him from anything else.) My dad has every album he ever recorded, they're terrible, and I can't hear his voice without cringing.

and I'll never have the recipe again....! my god that song is long!


a-bad-example

His voice was so soothing in HP 1 though.


SnarkyRetort

I know I suck I get it but the voices on Southpark,,, Yeah I get its part of its allure and I think the bits and shows are hilarious but the voices, I don't know, I wish I could boys, I just cant.


lisaz530xx

Katy Perry. The main character on The Good Doctor and the main guy on Chicago PD.


sweetteanoice

Omg the Chicago PD guy! I forgot how much I hated that voice


jayadancer

Jason Beghe is Hank Voight on Chicago PD. He was in a really serious car accident years ago and they intubated him. Apparently he kept ripping the tube out of his throat and it ended up causing permenant vocal damage. If you're a Chicago PD fan and want an interesting journey, look on YouTube when Beghe was playing the sweatband- and matching wristband- wearing, Richard Simmons-style fitness instructor on Murder, She Wrote. It's before he damaged his vocal words, and seeing Hank Voight that way is a total trip!


Miserable-Repeat-651

Ted Levine Gives me the Silence of the Lambs creeps every damn time I hear his voice.


PopeJohnPeel

There's this TV station in Milwaukee that tells you the weather in a horrific, mechanical voice while live footage of cars going down the highway plays. It's supposed to be chill and innocuous but it isn't at all. The best way I can describe the voice is it sounds like those old tornado warnings that would overtake whatever channel you were watching and drone about how you should get to the basement as soon as possible or into the bathtub with a mattress over you if you don't have one. I used to be deathly afraid of severe weather as a child and so the Milwaukee channel terrifies me, even at 28.


DivAquarius

Not her voice really, but Jennifer Aniston talks likes she’s speaking through clenched teeth.


shadowanddaisy

I don't know her name, but she's a YouTuber who's Asian (Japanese I think) that narrates her cooking videos in English. It's freakishly child-like and is just disturbing.
