Voice also refers to a form of a [[verb]].  The ''active voice'' indicates that the subject is acting (e.g., "I ate the sandwich"), whereas the ''passive voice'' indicates that the subject is being acted on (e.g., "The sandwich was eaten").<ref>[http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_vmood.html Verbs: Voice and Mood]</ref>

In the [[music]]al sense, "voice" has two meanings. One denotes a [[singer]] or group of singers sharing a single line, used as a term in a musical score to distinguish it from other instruments. Another is a term used in [[polyphony]] to refer to the independent lines in a musical work, especially in [[fugue]]s.
