Husky-voiced (6)
I believe the answer is:
hoarse
'husky-voiced' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hoarse that I've seen before include "With a rough husky voiced" , "Gravelly" , "Of voice, rough and dry" , "Hackney" , "in need of throat spray?" .)
