Whisper

Whisper is a form of human communication that involves the production of speech sounds with minimal vocal effort and without the use of the vocal cords. It is typically used in situations where silence is required or where privacy is needed, such as in a library or during a private conversation.

Characteristics

Whispering involves the use of the breath, the lips, and the tongue to produce sounds, but not the vocal cords. This results in a soft, breathy sound that is typically quieter than normal speech. The exact characteristics of a whisper can vary depending on the individual and the language being spoken.

Uses

Whispering is often used in situations where silence is required, such as in a library or during a performance. It is also used in situations where privacy is needed, such as during a private conversation or when discussing sensitive information. In some cultures, whispering is also used as a form of respect or reverence.

In popular culture

Whispering is often used in media to create a sense of intimacy or suspense. It is also commonly used in ASMR videos, which are designed to trigger a relaxing, tingling sensation in the viewer.
