Throw one's voice
Hi
Could you please tell me if the idiom throw one's voice is common among native speakers? Does it sound OK?
Alan was good at throwing his voice. [make it sound like it was coming from somewhere else]
Thanks,
Tom

Yes, here in the UK it's a perfectly normal thing to refer to. I would say it's not common, but there isn't a real alternative I can think of.

0It was certainly a common way to refer to ventriloquism in my youth (1960s-70s, northeast US). But I don't think I've heard it in years. That may just be because ventriloquism acts are no longer popular.
