vocalized
Expressed through speech
Vocalized means expressed aloud or with the voice.
A vocalized thought becomes spoken words; a vocalized sound uses the vocal cords rather than just breath.
In linguistics, vocalized consonants are produced with vibrating vocal cords—the difference between the voiced /z/ and voiceless /s/.
The word is the past tense of vocalize: She finally vocalized her concerns after months of silence.
