whispery voice
Soft, airy speech
A whispery voice is soft and breathy, as if the speaker were whispering or nearly so.
The phrase describes a vocal quality rather than actual whispering—the voice carries but retains that hushed, intimate texture: She answered in a whispery voice that made everyone lean closer.
