Her voice took on an edge I hadn't heard before.

The voices take on a beat, feeling one another out.

His voice took on an edge that hadn't been there before.

Her voice took on an edge of excitement at the thought.

His voice fell and took on a note of awe.

Her voice took on a slight edge as she continued.

He stared at her, his voice taking on a hard edge.

At the end, his voice took on a complaining tone.
