Whenever I try to search this up, I get explanations like “your throat vibrates” but that’s super abstract and hard to visualize. Is there an easier way someone can explain this to me?

Put your fingers on your throat, near your vocal chords, and feel the difference when you say the sounds for the following words demonstrating the difference between the voiced and unvoiced letter in the following pairs:
* G and K. G is the voiced version of K. Say “Gill” and “Kill”.
* B and P. B is the voiced version of P. Say “Bill” and “Pill”.
* D and T. D is the voiced version of T. Say “Dill” and “Till”.
* V and F. V is the voiced version of F. Say “Vat” and “Fat”.
* Z and S. Z is the voiced version of S. Say “Zane” and “Sane”.
When you say the voiced consonant sound, your fingers should feel your vocal chords vibrate. Try this and see if you can feel the vibration when you pronounce the voiced consonants.
