Translation guide
In Japanese, expressing 'loud voice' depends on whether you are describing the volume itself, the act of speaking loudly, or the quality of the voice. The most common and neutral way is 大きな声 (ōkina koe). For shouting or raising your voice, 大声 (ōgoe) is typical. Be aware that some expressions carry negative connotations like 'yelling' or 'scolding'.

While both mean 'loud voice', 大声 (ōgoe) often implies shouting or raising one's voice, sometimes with a negative nuance. 大きな声 (ōkina koe) is more neutral and simply describes volume. Use 大きな声 for general loudness, and 大声 when the act of shouting is intended.
