Spectrographic comparison of whispered voiced and voiceless stop consonants in various vowel environments.

A previous presentation reported on spectra of whispered and phonated speech and on comparison of identification of whispered voiced and voiceless consonants when those consonants were presented in C/a/ syllables. The cues for voicing in whispered plosives were studied using spectrograms. In a follow-up study, spectrographic analysis of whispered monosyllables with plosives in various vowel environments was performed. The results of the analysis-with respect to the voicing differences-will be presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
