Re: A question on voice
Voice, imo, applies to all art forms, anything that involves creativity, style and personal interpretation.... painting, fashion, music, architecture, etc. It's a combination of any number of things - originality, flair, bravado, choice of words or colours, method of execution, rhthym, pace, contrasts. Torvill and Dean revealed their 'voice' to the world through ice dancing, when they presented their Boléro routine at the 1984 winter Oympics.
I think the point everyone is trying to get across is that 'voice' comes from within. It's YOU. And the the only way to find 'your' voice is to allow yourself the freedom to create and interpret the world the way you see it.
Learn and be influenced by other great writers, but don't try to think the same way they do, because you're not them. Let your own style flow onto the page. That is how to find your voice.
Once you develop your own original and unique style, you will have a 'distinct' voice. And should you ever become a recognisable household name, then you have a famous voice
