Treating your friends like enemies. From the singing competition The Voice, where you compete against your own teammates.
Y'all should leave that backstabber, he's been voice-ing you since last year.
A "newspaper", published once or twice a week, mailed out 30 or 40 at a time to each and every single resident unlucky enough to be living withing a 25 mile radius of the 98038 area code, containing 4 month old news, an editorial from some old guy who thinks he knows what's the best way to handle current events yet is obviously not playing with a full deck of card, feature articles about someone's missing cow or which goat won best in show at the local hee-haw fair, and 90% advertising.
"Oh snap, our mailbox just exploded from the 10 Voice of the Valleys we just got. But wait! We finally get to know who the students of the month were 6 months ago!"
A man with a sexy phone voice that sounds like honey. Women melt and pant when he calls, and keep him on the phone as much as possible. But unfortunately the physical reality rarely lives up the dream.
Oh my gawd it's Ash on the phone he's such a voice hottie!

High Voice is used when a sarcastic or untrue comment is made. There are two forms of High Voice.
1) Saying an untrue/sarcastic statement in an actual voice that is high pitched.
2) Saying an untrue/sarcastic statement and then ending the sentence with the phrase "high voice"
High Voice is commonly used in circles of friends in relaxed environments.
It can be abbreviated in speech or when communicating online by saying or typing "hv".
The etymology of the word comes from Hastings, New York in the year 2005. It was used by a pale-kid who took 8 credits a semester at the University of Michigan and accrued massive debt from playing poker.
"Frankel isn't a mooch...high voice."
"Frankel isn't in debt (in a high pitched voice)"
In an e-mail or on AIM:
"Frankel is graduating early hv hv hv."

In opera and classical music, all six voice categories (soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, bass) have at least two subtypes with them, "lyric" and "dramatic" voices, which describe "vocal weight"; where a "lyric voice" is light, brighter, smoother, agile, and sweet, a "dramatic voice" is heavy, powerful, darker, richer, and often metallic in quality.
A dramatic voice is just that: powerful, substantial, edgy, vigorous, and heavy with emotion. The weight of the voice affects agility, but it allows them to sing over a full orchestra with little trouble. These are the singers who are imagined blasting the walls from buildings with the sheer power of their voices.
Since pop singers generally don't use the breath support and projection that opera singers are trained to use, few voices in pop music can be described as a "lyric voice" or "dramatic voice".
The closest approximations of dramatic voices in popular music (since popular music training follows a very different set of rules) could include:
Dramatic sopranos: Patti LaBelle, Monica Naranjo, Cissy Houston, Kyla la Grange, Lorraine Ellison, Kate Bush, Jill Scott, Floor Jansen, Mina, Sohyang, and Martha Wash.
Dramatic Mezzo-sopranos: Anastacia, Patti LuPone, Carol Burnett, Dusty Springfield, Ruthie Henshall, Ethel Merman, Allison Crowe, Janis Joplin, Sinéad O'Connor, Joss Stone, and Aretha Franklin.
Dramatic Contraltos: Lisa Gerrard, Tina Turner, Ana Carolina, Florence Welch, and Ruth Pointer
Dramatic Tenors: Alejandro Fernandez, Vicente Fernandez, Luis Miguel, Clay Aiken, Michael Ball, John Owen-Jones, Thomas Vikström, Erik Santos, and Alessandro Safina
Dramatic Baritones: Rick Astley, Philip Quast, George Hearn, Michael Cervaris, Josh Groban, Tom Jones, David Lee Roth, and Al Green
Dramatic Basses: Isaac Hayes, William Warfield, Thurl Ravenscroft, and Paul Robeson

When the kids don't listen to a word Mom is saying and then dad steps in by dropping his voice and octave and then tells the kids what to do and without as much as a moments hesitation they do the exact thing Mom as been asking them to do for the last hour!
