Kultureller Hintergrund
In rural Lithuania, a 'garsus balsas' was a sign of health and vitality. It is often mentioned in folk songs (dainos) as a desirable trait for a young man. Loudness in public transport is generally frowned upon. A 'garsus balsas' on a bus will get you many stern looks. The term 'garsus balsas' is often used in headlines to refer to famous singers or influential commentators. Teachers are encouraged to have a 'garsus balsas' but to use it sparingly to maintain authority without shouting.
The 'Famous' Trap
If someone says 'Jis yra garsus', they probably mean he is famous, not that he is currently being loud.
Don't say 'Big Voice'
Avoid saying 'didelis balsas'. It sounds very strange to native speakers.
