distinctive voice

Recognizable speaking style

A distinctive voice is a recognizable style of expression that sets a writer, speaker, or artist apart from others.

The phrase usually describes creative work: Her essays have a distinctive voice—sardonic but warm.

Voice here means the combination of word choice, rhythm, perspective, and tone that makes someone's work identifiably theirs.
