1 Whispered Speech A Presentation by Susanne Filges, Agata Mroczkowska and Annette Radon

2 Phonation Modes "normal" voice breathy voice ("bedroom voice") creaky voice (dislike) whisper

3 What does whispering mean in general? sounds "soft" less amplitude no difference in meaning between a whispered and a "normal" sound a speech variant across all languages no special IPA symbol for whispered sounds

4 How to Find Out the Distinction Method of Analysis two non-words "sha" and "shu", spoken in "normal voice" and whispered mode recorded with cool edit converted into spectrograms by Praat

5 Sha normal

6 sha whispered

7 shu normal

8 shu whispered

9 Pulses there are no blue lines in whispered voice, only in "normal" speech

10 Intensity The yellow line shows that the intensity in normal speech is higher than in whispered speech

11 Spectrogram same relation between dark and light shades in normal and whispered speech

12 Formants more "red dots" in normal speech formants at a lower frequency only in normal speech more acoustic energy in normal speech

13 Pitch total absence of pitch in whispered speech no fundamental frequency in whispered speech

14 Major Difference missing of pitch means no vibration of the vocal folds

15 An easier way to get this result would have been touching your throat while whispering!
