sing out

Call out clearly

Sing out means to call or shout loudly and clearly, often to get someone's attention or communicate across a distance: Sing out if you need anything.

It suggests projecting one's voice with confidence rather than mumbling or holding back.

The phrase can also mean to speak up boldly: Don't be shy—sing out!
