> vocal fry and nasal voice for women. For women in certain age groups there is culturally adapted creaky voice or alternatively nasal voice. It's possible to get rid of it with very small amount of practice. It's almost never normal voice, just adopted mannerism

I know it is petty, but god does it really irritate me when someone speaks like that. I have to consciously keep in mind not to be prejudiced against an accent, but no other innocuous thing ruins a first impression for me like that aspect of a person's voice.

To the two already mentioned ones, I will add the hoarse voice often caricatured in the stupid frat bro in movies. The breathy "hey bruh" sound is one that most more clearly evokes it in my head.
