gutturally
From the throat
Gutturally describes sounds produced deep in the throat—harsh, rough, or raspy.
A character might speak gutturally when wounded or enraged: He gutturally demanded they leave.
The adverb captures voices that seem to bypass normal speech, emerging from somewhere more primal.
