Information about Voice

The word voice has many definitions:

   * The sound made by a person using the vocal folds for talking and
     singing (singers use the voice as an instrument for creating music).
     The tone of voice may show that a sentence is a question, even if it
     grammatically is not, and shows emotions such as anger, surprise,
     happiness; in a request the tone reveals much about how much one wants
     something, and whether it is asking a favor or more like an order; the
     tone of saying e.g. "I am sorry" says a lot: it may vary from begging
     for forgiveness to "I have the right to do this even if you do not like it".

   * A section of a choir or other musical ensemble that sings or plays the
     same part.

   * The tone of a piece of writing, influenced by its point of view.

   * In phonetics and phonology, a phone or phoneme is said to be voiced if
     it is produced with the vocal folds vibrating. In English, r, m, z, and
     all vowels are examples of voiced segments. Segments that are produced
     without the vocal folds vibrating (such as Englisn t, s, and f) are
     called unvoiced or voiceless.
