Breathy voice /ˈbrɛθi/ (also called murmured voice, whispery voice, soughing and susurration) is a phonation in which the vocal folds vibrate, as they do in normal (modal) voicing, but are adjusted to let more air escape which produces a sighing-like sound.
In most cases, breathy singing is a sign of poor technique and poor breath support. Without knowing how to control your airflow and without using your abdominal muscles for breath support, your singing will suffer.
If the ligamental part of the vocal folds vibrates, "whispery voice" is produced, while if it does not vibrate, (unvoiced) "whisper" is produced. In breathy phonation, all laryngeal muscles are relaxed, so that the glottal constriction results from an incomplete closure of the vocal folds during vibration.
Breathiness is the result of thinner, "younger" vocal cords, with attraction to breathy voices stemming from cultural fixation with youth and vitality, the researchers say, noting a "creaky" voice may indicate a health issue, such as a cold or a long history of smoking.
When a voice sounds breathy, it's because the vocal cords aren't coming together all the way when you're creating sound. The added space between the cords is where the breath escapes, creating a breathy tone. To fix this, we just need to zip those cords up. The easiest way to do this is by using vocal fry.
A countertenor is a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or mezzo-soprano. The countertenor is the rarest of all voice types.

If you talk too long, cheer too loudly, sing too much or speak in a pitch that's higher or lower than usual, you may experience hoarseness. Also, your vocal cords naturally get thin and limp with age. It's perfectly common for your voice to get raspier as you get older.

So essentially, if you are singing flat, the sound of your vocals is sitting just a little lower than where it needs to be to sound in tune. It is good practice and important as you grow into the singer you want to become, that your pitch stays centred and doesn't wobble just below, causing the notes to sound flat.
