voice
Singer's primary instrument
Your voice is the audible sound from your mouth, used to produce speech, music, or other sounds.
More personally, someone’s voice is their particular way of expressing themselves; a writer who finds her voice settles into her writing style and manner of storytelling.
If you have a voice you have the right or opportunity to express yourself about something.
In linguistics, a sound that is voiced causes the vocal cords to vibrate.
To voice an opinion or concern is to express it in speech or writing.
