Morphology
The phrase uses a metaphorical extension of 'voice' to mean one's expressive style or perspective, so while 'find' + 'voice' suggests discovering an ability to express oneself, the specific sense of discovering a unique style or identity is not strictly literal. Many languages use a similar metaphor, giving partial cues, but the nuanced meaning is not fully predictable for an average B1 learner without prior exposure.
Etymology
The phrase find your voice comes from the simple image of a singer or speaker who practices until they can use their real voice and sound like themselves. That's why it means 'to discover and express your true style or ideas'.
