声を出す
解説 Definition
voicing は voice（声に出す）の現在分詞・動名詞です。考えや言葉を声にして表す場合にも使われますが、ここでは実際に声を出す動作を表します。
Voicing is the present participle or gerund of voice when it means producing words, sounds, or lines aloud. It refers here to the physical act of giving audible voice to language rather than merely expressing an opinion.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
voicing は voice「声に出す」の語末の無音eを取って-ingを付けた形で、発音は /ˈvɔɪsɪŋ/ です。ここでは意見を表明する意味より、単語・音・せりふを実際に発声する意味に限定し、voice each word、practice voicing soundsの組み合わせで覚えます。
Begin with voice as a verb meaning “say or produce aloud.” Form voicing by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing: voice → voicing, pronounced /ˈvɔɪsɪŋ/. Picture a teacher voicing each word slowly or an actor repeatedly voicing lines until they sound natural. Useful combinations include voicing sounds clearly and practice voicing the words. Voice can also mean express an opinion, as in voice a concern, but the target sense here is literal vocal production: turning written words or intended sounds into something that can be heard.

voicing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
voicing は voice に動名詞・現在分詞の -ing が付いた形です。voice は古フランス語 voiz を経て、ラテン語 vox, voc-「声」に由来し、原義は「声に出すこと」なので「発声する・言葉で表す」という意味になります。関連語に vocal、voice があります。
Voicing is formed from the verb voice by dropping the final silent e and adding -ing. Voice entered English through Old French voiz and ultimately comes from Latin vox, with the stem voc-, meaning “voice.” The noun developed verbal uses meaning to produce with the voice or express in words. In this entry, voicing retains the literal connection to audible speech or sound. The same Latin source appears in words such as vocal and vocation.
