This essay begins with the observation that the term "voice" is frequently used in rhetorical studies literature. Interestingly, rhetorical "voice" means different things to different scholars. This essay seeks to accomplish two tasks related to "voice." First, it clarifies the conceptual confusion regarding "voice" found in the literature by relating it to a tension between "speaking" and "language." Second, to avoid this tension, this essay presents a case study in which a notion of "voice" is posited that is constitutive of the public acknowledgment of the ethical and emotional dimensions of public discourse
