I'm a bit confused by this. Why would there be a difference between
thinking of a K or a G consonant, since G is simply the voiced
version of K? Well, yes, in English, K is also slighty aspirated,
but I don't see how either the aspiration or the vibration of the
vocal folds should make a difference. I would think it would be
only the position of the tongue, which is the same in either case,
isn't it?

Cheers,
