Voiced & Voiceless Consonants

Recognising Voiced and Voiceless consonants helps us differentiate between
Two consonants which sound similar but are different.
A voiceless consonant does not create a vibration in the throat when it is spoken
and a voiced consonant creates a vibration.
Try to speak out the following set of consonants and feel the vibration on the
throat.
