Nice article, thanks Perry. I'd never heard of vocal fry before. Shouldn't that be some kind of Southern cooking?
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

I have never heard of "vocal fry" either, but then the article mentioned "creaky voice."
See Ladefoged, "A Course in Phonetics" pg. 128 for a photo of the vocal folds producing creaky voice (also called "laryngealization") together a description of its mechanism of articulation (pg 129). Very interesting.
