Voice-onset time + Aspirated 0 Tenuis â Voiced In phonetics , voice-onset time ( VOT ) is a feature of the production of stop consonants . It is defined as the length of time that passes between the release of a stop consonant and the onset of voicing , the vibration of the vocal folds , or, according to other authors, periodicity.
As the vocal folds vibrate, the resulting vibration produces a buzzing quality to the speech, called voice or voicing or pronunciation. Sound production that involves moving the vocal folds close together is called glottal. English has a voiceless glottal transition spelled h. This sound is produced by keeping the vocal folds spread somewhat, resulting in turbulent airflow through the glottis.
