Why we're finally embracing our regional accents

ACTRESS Lake Bell is on a mission to eradicate a pandemic ‘disease’: ‘sexy-baby’ voice.

‘Sexy-baby’ voice is the vacant-sounding, sexy and faux-coy way some women speak. Their every sentence ends in a question, ‘like you know?’

Bell says: “OK, small soap-box moment. I have been personally ruptured and unsettled by the trend, the vocal trend that I call ‘sexy-baby vocal virus talking’. It’s a pandemic, in my opinion.”
