Why does Steve-O’s voice sound like that?
Steve-O is well known for his unusual gravelly voice, which he at first blamed on his drug use and the countless antics he’s pulled over the years. However, after seeing a professional, he was shocked to discover that the culprit was merely his habit of speaking using his throat muscles rather than his vocal cords.
