Grave voice..!

Hi,

Can we say,"You have a grave voice".

Thanks

Hi, I think the grave has more to do with the manner of speaking than the tone of the voice. You are speaking gravely. You said that very gravely.

Hi GG, can we say" you speak in a grave manner?"

Absolutely.

However, if you say it in the simple present (you speak) it means they do this habitually.

It's hard to tell when you're happy or excited, because you usually speak in a grave manner.
