How Can I Describe Someone's Voice In My Story?
Try comparing it to other sounds people know. ex. Her voice flowed like a river. Or objects: ex. Ella's voice was high like a piccolo but louder than a trumpet. Or perhaps describe how people feel when they hear that person's voice. ex. His voice was so warm and comforting even the stingiest of strangers immediately warmed up to him. Finally, try describing unique things about their voice. ex. Whenever Max spoke, his voice poured out like a river, and every time he used 'th' words his tongue would glide beautifully over his perfect teeth and emit an adorable bit of air. Sierra's voice was hard to describe. It was warm and flowing like hot chocolate, and everyone seemed to relax when she had something to say. But as soon as she became angry, the hot chocolate would freeze and her voice would become like ice, cold and hard, and her eyes seconded the notion. When she was sad, it became a cool waterfall in the middle of nowhere, alone and small.

“Mom, buy anything and you don't have to look at the price tags any more!!”, said Neil after getting his first salary, in front of the mall.“Oh, really. So I want that Audi, can I buy?”“Ah, mom..”Suddenly someone snatched her bag. She was in shock. But without wasting a second, Neil ran behind the child who took the bag.“Caught you. Why did you steal?”“Bhaiyya, I.. I am hungry and am an orphan”The boy’s tears melted away Neil's anger. He leaned towards the boy and placed his hands over his shoulder.“So you want food or a home?”“Wh..what?” the boy asked, amazed.“You see that old lady there. She is a thief too. She stole me from my own destiny of being an orphan from the dust bin. Come with me”“I thought children come out of wombs but how did he come from a dust bin?”, immersed in thoughts, he followed Neil with sparkling eyes.
The following question refers to “Narrator and Voice” in Unit 2: A narrator who focuses on just one charact?
What is the question? You may be referring to First person point of view. NARRATOR: The "voice" that speaks or tells a story. Some stories are written in a first-person point of view, in which the narrator's voice is that of the point-of-view character. For instance, in The Adventures of Huck Finn, the narrator's voice is the voice of the main character, Huck Finn. It is clear that the historical author, Mark Twain, is creating a fictional voice to be the narrator and tell the story--complete with incorrect grammar, colloquialisms, and youthful perspective. In other stories, such as those told in the third-person point of view, scholars use the term narrator to describe the authorial voice set forth, the voice "telling the story to us." For instance, Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist presents a narrative in which the storyteller stands outside the action described. He is not a character who interacts with other characters in terms of plot. However, this fictionalized storyteller occasionally intrudes upon the story to offer commentary to the reader, make suggestions, or render a judgment about what takes place in the tale. It is tempting to equate the words and sentiments of such a narrator with the opinions of the historical author himself. However, it is often more useful to separate this authorial voice from the voice of the historical author.

Angela Carter question on the third person narrative voice in "The company of wolves"?
Ah, what a terrible story that was! In her attempt to be gothic, she came off as just gross and in her attempt to be feministic, she came off as disturbingly anti-feministic. (Her bright solution to avoiding being raped was to rape the other person first!). But let's see. She uses a lot of suggestive language about the characters as she describes them in third person. For instance, the girl was young and "innocent" and we know this because she had only just started getting her period. (beautiful way to describe it, I know). I think that her opinions on the characters come through those kind of character descriptions. Writing in third person just helps you know that it's the author's thoughts, not the characters.
