* Unvoiced consonants are sounds made by the air flowing out of your mouth without any vibration of your vocal cords.
* Voiced consonants are made with vibration of the vocal cords.
Examples of Unvoiced Consonants:
* p as in "pen"
* t as in "top"
* k as in "kite"
* f as in "fan"
* th as in "thin"
* s as in "sun"
* sh as in "ship"
* ch as in "chair"
* h as in "hat"
How to Tell the Difference:
* Put your hand on your throat: Feel for a vibration when you make a voiced sound.
* Try whispering: You can only whisper unvoiced sounds.
