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.
