Instead of whispered, consider:

• murmured
• mumbled
• muttered
• breathed
• sighed
• hissed
• mouthed
• uttered
• intoned
• susurrated
• purred
• said in an undertone
• gasped
• hinted
• said low
• said into someone’s ear
• said softly
• said under one’s breath
• said in hushed tones
• insinuated

aye lil mama let me insinuate in ya ear

Most of the words on this list are also on a list of words not to use. I was once told never,under no circumstances, to use the word hissed. My thoughts-if someone is whispering, use the freaking word and be done with it.
