In linguistics, the term voiceless describes the pronunciation of sounds when the larynx does not vibrate. Phonologically, this is a type of phonation, which contrasts with other states of the larynx, but some object that the word "phonation" implies voicing, and that voicelessness is the lack of phonation. (See phonation for more.)

The International Phonetic Alphabet has distinct letters for many voiceless and modally voiced pairs of consonants (the obstruents), such as [p b], [t d], [k ɡ], [q ɢ] [f v], [s z], and also a diacritic for voicelessness, [ ̥] (the under-ring) that can be used with letters for prototypically voiced sounds, such as vowels and nasal consonants: [ḁ], [n̥]. (The ring is placed above letters with descenders, as with [ŋ̊].)

How can I make a character in my story have a strong personality?
Q. I'm being told constantly that my writing has voiceless characters. Is there any way that I can make them better?
Asked by Jelly B - Sun Sep 7 16:54:26 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Start by sitting down and writing about the character - what they like and don't like, their strengths and weaknesses, if they have any quirks, that sort of thing. If someone were to ask you, "What's your friend So-and-so like," how would you describe that person? Use the same idea to describe your characters. This way, you get to know your characters. Until you know them like old friends, it's hard to describe them and make them come to life. And remember, write, write, write, and read, read, read! Happy writing, kiddo!
