A different physiological structure has an impact on the apparatus of male and female voices and the articulation apparatus. The aim of the paper is to compare acoustic features of the consonants pronounced by males and females and to determine which differences depend on the gender of an announcer, and which are related to the individual articulation of the announcers. Three acoustic features are investigated: 1) duration of the release phase; 2) frequency of the spectral peak; 3) relative intensity. The investigation shows that the only parameter – frequency of the spectral peak – can be related to the announcers’ gender.
