Voice is the author's style, the quality that makes his or her writing unique, and which conveys the author's attitude, personality, and character; OR
Voice is the characteristic speech and thought patterns of a first-person narrator; a persona.

Because voice has so much to do with the reader's experience of a work of literature, it is one of the most important elements of a piece of writing.

“Writing with no voice is dead, mechanical, faceless. It lacks any sound.
Writing with no voice may be saying something true, important, or new; it may be logically organized; it may even be a work of genius. But it is as though the words came through some kind of mixer rather than being uttered by a person.

Extreme lack of voice is characteristic of bureaucratic memos, technical engineering writing, much sociology, many textbooks.”
Peter Elbow

“The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.” Mark Twain
