Voice a little or small

I want to say, since your voice is very small ( she spoke in small voice), I couldn't hear you.

1] Your voice is very small
2) Your voice is very little
3) Your voice is very low.

Is every 1),2),and 3) grammatically correct?

Thank you in advance for your teaching.

As a former choral director, I've not come across small or little when describing a voice. Thin is commonly used to compare a voice to a full one. Low is used to describe the range of voice (bass, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano).

Son JamesI want to say, since your voice is very small ( she spoke in small voice), I couldn't hear you.
I want to say, since your voice is very soft ( she spoke in soft / quiet voice), I couldn't hear you.

Soft is used for a quiet speaking voice.
