How it's used
Describes a voice that is not just loud, but also resonant, clear, and carries well. It is often used to praise someone for having a strong, healthy, or authoritative speaking voice. While it implies volume, it carries a more positive, formal, or descriptive nuance compared to simply saying someone is noisy.
Examples
His voice is so loud and clear that the whole venue can hear him.
Can you speak a bit louder and more clearly?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe loud, annoying, or chaotic noise, as it specifically refers to a clear and resonant human voice. Use 大聲 for general volume or noisy situations instead.
