In a prevocalic aspirated plosive (a plosive followed by a vowel or sonorant), the time when the vocal cords begin to vibrate will be delayed until the vocal folds come together enough for voicing to begin, and will usually start with breathy voicing. The duration between the release of the plosive and the voice onset is called the <i><a href="/wiki/Voice_onset_time" title="Voice onset time">voice onset time</a></i> (VOT) or the <i>aspiration interval</i>. Highly aspirated plosives have a long period of aspiration, so that there is a long period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[h]</span>) before the onset of the vowel.

In English, there may be a brief segment of breathy voice that identifies the plosive as voiceless and not voiced. In voiced plosives, the vocal folds are set for voice before the release, and often vibrate during the entire hold, and in English, the voicing after release is not breathy.
