Differences between voiced and voiceless sound?

Voiced sounds are produced when the vocal cords vibrate, creating a buzzing or humming quality. Voiceless sounds are produced without the vibration of the vocal cords, resulting in a quieter and more breathy sound. Examples of voiced sounds include /b/, /z/, and /g/, while examples of voiceless sounds include /p/, /s/, and /k/.


What sounds are hard to learn in another language voiced or voiceless?

Voiced or unvoiced sounds are not hard for English speakers because they are common in English. Sounds that we don't have in English are hard to learn when learning another language. For example the digraph - ng - is found in English eg bang. But it is not found in the initial position so this can be hard to master eg: ngalan -- Visayan ( a Filipino Language) ngàrmu -- Tibetan

Why does s sounds like z in some words in English?

Actually, the answer is that there are two types of sounds in English- ones where you use your voice, like b, d, g, f and z, and ones where you don't like p, t, k, v, and s. The ones that you use your voice for are called voiced and the others are called voiceless. s and z are made the same way. The difference is whether or not you use your voice when you say them. When a voiced sound comes before an s in English, it makes it sound like a z. For instance,backs and bagsThe s sounds like an s in backs because there is a k in front of it, which is voiceless.In bags, it sound slike a z because there is a g in front of it, which is voiced.


How do you pronounce gamma?

The sound of the letter is a voiced velar fricative; if you can speak any language which uses the voiceless velar fricative (Scots [Loch], Japanese [Baka], German [Kuchen, Acht], etc.), you'll be able to find the sound fairly easy to say. You can make this sound by saying the voiceless velar fricative without rolling it, and then activate your vocal chords while doing this, turning it into the voiced velar fricative. If you speak a language which doesn't use the Voiceless velar fricative (English, French, etc.), it would probably be easier to learn the voiceless velar fricative and use the above tip to learn the voiced velar fricative.The actual word Gamma is properly pronounced ɣɑːmɑː (using IPA). This can be written using the plain latin alphabet as "Γa-Ma", where the Γ represents the voiced velar fricative that's explained above.


How do you beat bass?

First create a vocal bass line, and then add hyper-articulated voiced alveolar plosive and aspiration on beats 1 and 3 (in 4/4 time) /dm/ as well as adding a snare drum of a plosive voiceless velar /k/ or plosive voiceless co-articulation of a plosive voiceless bilabial immediately followed by a voiceless labiodental fricative. /pf/. This should resemble the "snare drum" sound.

What is the difference between hard g and soft g?

The hard G makes almost like a K sound, but in a voiced sound or a voiced K, which is the general pronunciation and soft G makes a J sound. For the hard and soft consonants, we use C and G and these consonants sound similar but the C is the voiceless consonant while the G is the voiced consonant. If the G is followed by an E, I or Y, then it'll soften and make a J sound. If the G is followed by any other letters or at the word ending, then it'll remain hard.
