I can do heavy vocal fry easily enough since my "original" voice already had quite a lot of that and I can also do a decent feminine voice at ~250hz but the combination of vocal fry and lower frequency and Dasha's unbothered, self-assured, and exalted drawl all at once while still sounding feminine is really hard to nail down :(

the way i understand it, vocal fry is kind of a side effect of reaching for your lowest possible tone, so unless you do vocal cord surgery, it will sound like a male vocal fry

I see, thanks for letting me know. It wasn't in my position or right to have a voice like Dasha's anyways.

just remember you don’t need a voice like Dasha’s to be valid meow-hug

Oh and also I might be missing something, people can learn to do all manner of wacky things with their voices. You might still be able to find a technique that gets close enough

Vocal fry happens when you hit the lowest parts of your range, but it's really just creaky voiced phonation which you can do anywhere in a register by lowering the amount of airflow and compressing your larynx to make the vibration irregular. I just checked on a pitch monitor and could do fem vocal fry at the exact same pitch as my normal speech (around 180-200hz, I don't have a particularly high voice but it's unmistakably fem).

If you do low register vocal fry, you may be able to get a feel for the muscles involved and try to incorporate that into your ordinary speech. I learned to do this for a while because I artificially gave myself very fem sounding vocal fry below a certain pitch so that it would sound like the low end of my range to make my overall voice sound more fem.
