Explanation

The Japanese noun '歌声 (うたごえ)' refers to the sound or voice of someone singing. It is often used to describe the act of singing or the quality of a person's singing voice. This word can be used in various contexts, such as appreciating someone's singing or describing the atmosphere created by singing. For example: Her singing is beautiful「彼女の歌声は美しい」(かのじょのうたごえはうつくしい). The sound of singing echoed through the hall「歌声がホールに響いた」(うたごえがホールにひびいた). Note that '歌声' specifically refers to the sound or voice of singing, not the act of singing itself, which would be '歌う (うたう)'.
