Hello,

I can't work out the significance of 'voice' in the clue below, or see any cryptic element:

8D "The sort of effect a sharp tone of voice has; perhaps"

Answer: PENETRATING

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks Cerasus, I may have been overthinking it.

This has confused me too, I have to ask for help to figure it out.
