Whispering and Talking...

If you whisper it can do more damage to your voice than you think. Singing isn't actually bad for your voice. Of course if you use your voice in an aggressive and incorrect way, you are more at risk of damaging it. Talking can also damage your voice, I suffer from that. Talking actually puts more strain on your cords than singing. If only I could sing my conversations, then my voice would be better off. :)
