Morphology
The meaning 'a voice particularly well-suited for radio broadcasting' follows directly from combining 'voice' (sound produced by speaking) with 'for' (indicating purpose or suitability) and 'radio' (the broadcast medium). This compositional, purpose-oriented pattern is common cross-linguistically and non-idiomatic, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase voice for radio may come from the early days of radio, when only some voices 'sounded clear and warm' through poor equipment, and those people were picked to speak on the air. So calling someone a voice for radio means their voice works especially well on radio, even if they might not be 'a face for television'.
