It’s 8:50am here and for whatever reason I turned on the TV. The today show is on. I’m kind of wondering how Savannah Guthrie became a TV personality. Her voice sounds like she needs to clear her throat. Constantly. Anyone else find it annoying, or is it just me?

She's not my favorite. I don't like Chicago P.D. for that reason though. The captain or main detective with his super gruff voice. Then there's the female cop that sounds like she just had her tonsils out.

Savannah's voice doesn't bother me but Jenna Bush's voice does.

I like her voice.
Scarlett johansen’s voice sounds like she constantly needs to clear her throat to me though. It’s incredibly distracting to me. To the point that sometimes I will do it for her if I am watching one of her movies. 😂
I get it.

They did a couple cross-over episodes with Law & Order that I couldn't watch because of that guy. Keith Morrison is the journalist I cannot watch because of his voice. His tone, pacing and inflection drive me nuts.

I watch the first half hour of the Today Show almost every morning, and I've never noticed anything about her voice that's annoying. I think I remember her mentioning a cold or allergies recently though?
I really enjoy her on the show - to me she's very likable. And as a former attorney, she is a good interviewer when law is involved.

I really like Savannah Guthrie. However, I cannot stand Hoda Kotb - she's just so phony. I also love it when Keith Morrison is the narrator on Dateline.

I like her and haven’t noticed anything about her voice.
My son watches some you tube videos about wwe characters and the voice is really annoying to me. I can’t stand to listen to it. It sounds like a very exaggerated tv voice where the emphasis is on different syllables than usual. Anyway, now I have a hard time listening to Reports by Gabe Gutierrez because his voice is similar.

It sounds like his vocal chords have been damaged. Scarlett johansen’s voice sounds like she constantly needs to clear her throat to me though. To me, she always sounds like she has a very stuffy nose or sinus infection.

I like Savannah Guthrie and what you heard in her voice was unique to today (no pun intended). I thought her voice sounded extra gravelly this morning. It's not her normal voice.

Well, now that no Ione else seems to hear it, I do wonder if she has a cold or allergies after all. I never watch morning TV, so I'm not used to her voice at all.
Speaking of voices, one of our local stations (Jordan something-or-other on KING5 for locals) hired a new weather guy a couple of years ago. I swear his voice cracks constantly and it's a high register. He seems like a super nice guy, but that voice makes me wonder if I'm the only one who hears it?!?
Boy, between him and Savannah Guthrie, I sound super picky. Sorry!

Y'all need to hear his guy who owns a car lot here-OMG- and now in his newest commercial he's trying to sing It's Raining Cars (Men). I'm going to have an accident one day trying to change the radio station.

Savannah doesn’t bother me, but Craig Melvin’s voice is really raspy to me.

I watch everyday and have noticed that Savannah has a bad case of vocal fry lately. I've been wondering if she has reflux or something that's causing it.

I don't mind her voice, but for some reason Al Roker creeps me out. I have to turn my head when he is doing the weather.

She's not my favorite. I don't like Chicago P.D. for that reason though. The captain or main detective with his super gruff voice. He (Jason Baghe) was in an automobile accident and was intubated. He said he kept trying to pull it out and it caused damage, therefore the voice. It it took me a while to get used to it. I love listening to Keith Morrison do the Dateline shows!

I was recently diagnosed with laryngopharyngeal reflux and one of my main symptoms was hoarseness. I noticed that people would move away from me when I was talking to them. I finally had to say that I wasn’t contagious. Just reflux. I had never heard of it until I was diagnosed with it.

Keith Morrison is the journalist I cannot watch because of his voice. His tone, pacing and inflection drive me nuts. I can see why he annoys you, but he fascinates me. I love Bill Hader's impersonation of him.

I like Savannah, never noticed her voice, she seems super sweet and has personal relationships with her cast off set. She started out on a station in Arizona, then went to law school and became a court reporter, then was a White House corespondent. And when she joined the today show was a legal analyst. She’s been progressively working up to this role. We don’t see her doing serious interviews much these days.
Now Jenna I don’t understand how she got that job?

I really like Savannah Guthrie. However, I cannot stand Hoda Kotb - she's just so phony. I also love it when Keith Morrison is the narrator on Dateline. I think Hoda is abnormally happy, but not fake. Her sister was interviewed once and said she was always like that growing up. Maybe it’s her new life after cancer, or new mom happiness at her age? Appreciating her gifts in life.

I think she has an amazing appreciation for life, perhaps because of her cancer survivor journey. And she never thought she would have children but she adopted Haley two years ago and her new daughter Hope last week. I think she's thrilled to be a mom in her 50s and can't help but be happy. I just love her enthusiasm.

I haven't noticed that about Savannah Guthrie's voice, but I haven't listened to her that much--- only during the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, and when she fills in for Lester Holt on the Evening News. When she filled in for him recently, I'm surprised I didn't notice, because I'm fascinated by voice tone, inflection, enunciation, etc...... But there IS something about her mouth that bugs me....but I'm not sure why? I also love it when Keith Morrison is the narrator on Dateline. OMG, Bill Hader (used to be on "Saturday Night Live) imitates him PERFECTLY !!! Savannah has a bad case of vocal fry lately. Oh my gawwwwwwwwD.....whenever I hear "vocal fryyyyy", I think of the always annoying Kardashianssss. When I hear actual people speak that wayyyyyy in person, it drives me nuttssss...... sometimes I will do it for her if I am watching one of her movies. 😂 That's funny! he's trying to sing It's Raining Cars (Men); I'm going to have an accident one day trying to change the radio station. Ugh, that sounds HORRIBLE! What IS IT about local car (and tire!) dealerships that they make the WORST commercials? We don't have any that sing, but they TRY to be clever, funny, imitate famous people, etc.

I hope no one will mind me hijacking, but this thread made me wanna hear Bill Hader's HILARRRIOUS imitation of Keith Morrison from "Dateline" Annnnd, I thought it'd be rude not to share ! " Mystery of the chopped up guy" (interviewee) "I saw a hand floating in the lake..." (Bill Hader) " Ohhhh....ahhhhh....was it Wilson, the volleyball?" (interviewee) "Ummm.....no....it was the hand of a dead guy!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Lv6t0moFY
