Vocal fries?

[LilyoftheValley]

So I've heard a lot about vocal fries and know they sound super nice in UTAU. But how would you record them? I know absolutely nothing other than they sound nice. Teach me things!

All I know is you gotta be super precise with them
They could either sound really nice
Not so nice better okay
Or like a squeaky door hinge

Well you either record the way you'd record a normal sample but with a fry at the beginning, or the end. ( 'い or い')

Ex: https://clyp.it/brjyq1zf

Or like a transition between vowels like an "a' い" where the "a" would fade into a fry, which fades into an "i" if that makes sense.

Most people just record fries for vowel and n sounds, but I suppose you could do more if you wanted

i've recorded an entire vcv pitch that's a vocal fry. and yeah you record it just like in racconbutler's sample^.
