The document defines voice in writing as the sense that a real person is communicating a message and cares about the topic. Voice imparts a personal tone through the writer's engagement with the subject. It is the unique individual style that distinguishes one writer from others.

1. Voice is the writer coming through the
words, the sense that a real person is
speaking to us and cares about the message.
It is the heart and soul of the writing, the
magic, the wit, the feeling, the life and
breath. When the writer is engaged
personally with the topic, he or she imparts
a personal tone and flavor to the piece that is
unmistakably his/hers alone. And it is that
individual something–different from the
mark of all other writers–that we call Voice.
