Phrase to voice
Text In this podcast, the verb "to voice" means to express something in words or to say something: "How many people have voiced their objections to the company's new policy?" The phrase "to lower (one's) voice" means to speak more quietly: "Please lower your voice while you're in the library." The phrase "to raise (one's) voice" means to speak more loudly, usually shouting in anger: "I hope I never raise my voice at my son." The phrase "at the top of (one's) voice" means to shout or yell as loudly as one can: "The concert was so loud that I couldn't hear anything Jenny said, even though she was standing right next to me and shouting at the top of her voice."
