"I will aggravate my voice so, that I will roar you as gently as any sucking dove: I will roar you an 'twere and nightingale!" BOTTOM (William Shakespeare) They say that 'the eyes are the window to the soul' - if that is true then the VOICE is the pathway, portal and the very entrance to its true expression.
