raise one's voice
Get vocally louder
To raise one's voice is to speak more loudly, either to be heard over distance or noise, or to express anger or assert authority: Don't raise your voice at me.
The phrase often implies a shift from calm conversation to heated argument.
Parents raise their voices at children; spouses raise their voices at each other.
To never raise one's voice suggests patience or gentleness.
