He voiced up the problem.

He raised up the problem.

No. Omit "up" and then they become correct.

Hi, Feebs:

Just curious, how do you read them should you find them as in the above, with "up"?

To me it looks like a remnant of a phrasal verb. For example: "He ~~brought~~ raised up the problem". The "up" should have been removed when the verb was changed.

Why is the word 'up' being omitted?

You have been told it isn't and it isn't. Shouldn't use phrasals there.
