Voice
The word voice has many definitions:
External links:
- The sound made by a person using the vocal folds for talking and singing (singers use the voice as an instrument for creating music).
- A section of a choir or other musical ensemble that sings or plays the same part.
- The tone of a piece of writing, influenced by its point of view.
- In phonetics and phonology, a phone or phoneme is said to be voiced if it is produced with the vocal folds vibrating. In English, r, m, z, and all vowels are examples of voiced segments. Segments that are produced without the vocal folds vibrating (such as Englisn t, s, and f) are called unvoiced or voiceless.
