Cats And Dogs Whispering

Social role of whispering
Whispering is generally used quietly, to limit the hearing of speech to listeners who are nearby; for example, to convey secret information without being overheard or to avoid disturbing others in a quiet place such as a library or place of worship. Loud whispering, known as a stage whisper, is generally used only for dramatic or emphatic purposes. Whispering also takes less effort to vocalize than a normal speech pattern. This is because less air needs to be used to vocalize the sound. However, while it takes less effort to produce a whisper, it tires out the vocal cords more quickly. For this reason the whispering voice should not be used during vocal rest prescribed when one has fully or partially lost one's voice.
Whispering has also become popular on the video-sharing website YouTube, where a community of users has emerged, in which users upload videos of themselves whispering quietly, some with the intent to relax the listener, and others simply whispering about no particular topic. These whisper videos frequently forego the visual aspect of the video and focus only on the audio, using a picture as a backdrop, or pointing the camera at a nondescript or dark area. A popular sub-genre of whispering videos is the relaxation video, in which the whisperer uses guided relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation to lull the listener into relaxation, frequently with the intent to aid in sleep. A notable technique in this sub-genre unique to whisper videos is the stereo right-left panning of the whisperer's voice, which has the effect of simulating the speaker whispering into the listener's ear if listened to using headphones.
