hypnotizers’voice VS hypnotizers’voiceS
0 Hello, 02 br
02 br
00 I need help on how to put nouns in plural in genitive cases. 02 br
02 br
00 In my sentence " 01 b 00 Are you talking about hypnotizers’voice 02 b 00 ", I’m talking about the voices of the hypnotizers. There are many hypnotizers, but each of them has only one voice. Should I write my sentence this way " 01 b 00 Are you talking about hypnotizers’ voiceS 02 b 00 ?" "Voice" is a countable noun. Therefore, it is "voices" in plural. But a hypnotizer has only one voice. 02 br
02 br
00 Should I say " 01 b 00 the hypnotizers’voice is too low 02 b 00 " or " 01 b 00 the hypnotizers’voices are too low 02 b 00 ?" 02 br
02 br
00 In " 01 b 00 Ann and Don’s microphone volume is too low for me 02 b 00 ", I’m talking about 2 volumes. 02 br
00 "Volume" is an uncountable noun. But we have the volume of two people. Should I write my sentence as following " 01 b 00 Ann and Don’s microphone volumes are too low for me 02 b 00 ?" 02 br

00 'Volume', like many nouns, can be either countable or uncountable in different circumstances, and here is it definitely countable, since the
