full voice
Singing without restraint
Full voice describes singing or speaking with the complete, resonant power of one's vocal range, as opposed to a whisper, falsetto, or restrained tone.
A singer performing in full voice uses their natural chest register at substantial volume: She finally let loose in full voice during the finale.
The phrase often implies confidence or lack of inhibition.
