Voice in literature is how the text is meant to be read, how you should imagine it differently from your personal voice. You can use punctuation, word choice, pause, metaphors, similies, irony, sarcasm, paralellism, etc.
I am enthralled to be in this classroom. This reflects my sarcast voice because when I'm sarcastic, I tend to use a more articulate voice and say my sentences with monotony.
I would talk around when asking for favors. You can't simply go up to someone and ask them for a favor; you must compliment them and make small talk before you ask them to help you.
Voice in non-fiction creates a personal touch to a character, making you view that character in a certain way. We normally avoid slang and first person in non-fiction.
To develop your voice, you should understand how you speak and how you can put that voice into your writing. You must translate it into your own writing, but you musn't be completely forward with it.
