phonate
Make vocal sounds
To phonate is to produce vocal sound by vibrating the vocal cords.
The term belongs to phonetics and speech pathology, describing the basic mechanism of voiced speech: air from the lungs passes through the larynx, causing the vocal folds to vibrate.
The patient was unable to phonate after the surgery.
