Voiced sound happens when air is forced through openings between the glottis, ie, vocal cords [22].
To begin with, for voiced sound, air generated from the lung goes through the vocal track in a quasi-periodic manner, depending on the opening and closing of the glottis.
It is achieved by preserving the spatial position voiced sounds occupy in a given timeframe, while altering the timeframe of pitch cycles.
