That croak has a name because so many people do it. Can't remember what it is though.
Vocal Fry - check this out for "definition" - funny!
zooo - Vocal Fry
Ha, thank you!
It's so annoying. I wonder if English people do it.
Definitely one for Room 101.
This has been around for years, there's loads of 80s/early 90s films with girls from the Beverly Hills areas. I also associated it with them anyway.

English teenage girls do it.
It's ghastly.
Now I come to think about it, did I hear this being used on Made in Chelsea?
Which my wife used to watch, I hasten to add! Honest Guv!! 
What the f**k is this all about?
Why worry about Yanks? I thought it was something to do with Stephen Fry.

BUT Vocal Fry HAS been used on British TV, such as Made in Chelsea so it's not specifically American.

Yes, great bass...very punk.
That's Zappa's daughter Moon Unit doing the rap...you can also see her in "National Lampoon's European Vacation"...the girl in Italy.
Even by the standards of the 80s, that was crap.
