Whispery voice

Whispery voice is when someone speaks very quietly and softly, almost like they're talking to themselves. It's a kind of talking where the sounds are made very softly so that only the person close to them can hear it. Imagine trying to hear a secret from someone who doesn't want anyone else to hear it. Sometimes people use whispery voice when they want to talk about something private or confidential, like a secret or a personal matter. But other times they might use it because they're feeling shy or unsure and want to communicate in a more delicate way. It's important to be respectful of someone's choice to use whispery voice, and not to force them to speak up if they don't want to.
