1992 — Mark Steyn, "Walden it be luvverly?", Evening Standard, 17 February 1992:
Later, on Star Chamber (Channel 4), he was interrogated by a computer. Here was a political interview which would, you felt, have benefited from Nicam Digital Stereo, enabling us to savour in full Mr Hattersley's amusing impression of Ken Livingstone's nasal twang (a surprisingly voicist slur from someone who recently accused Chris Patten of sneering about his own speech impediment).
God only knows what he actually talks to these folks about, and the only weakness on the image front is his unfortunately whiny, high-pitched voice. But let's not get voicist here.
Noun: "one who discriminates against or judges people negatively based on how their voices sound"[edit]

For example, suppose I say I only date women who have voices in the soprano range. Will the PC police punish me for being a "voicist?" Probably not.

When I say you have shown your true colors, I mean that in your last post you revealed yourself as a "voicist," a bizarre prejudice which explains--if not excuses--your disparagement of Susan's *character*, which has nothing to do with her voice.

>I hate posh spice for no other reason than her voice. Bobs I always knew you were an out and out Voicist. You should be ashamed!!
2008 — "Get your free plug with BBC", The Star, 25 November 2008:
I must be a voicist; I'm fed up with Scottish and Irish accents, not the people, just the sound.

Come visite[sic] the Cree Summer Francks page, a page dedicated to one of the most talented voicists, actresses, and singers of all time...

Her voicist is just plain AWESOME, her parts in some of the TTA episodes were just plain funny in every way!
2000 June 3, Heather Noyes, “Re: MEL BLANC's demo tape, autographed, for auction”, in alt.tv.cartoon-network, alt.animation, alt.animation.warner-bros, rec.arts.animation[6] (Usenet):
If I told you I had a cel from Slayers autographed by Megumi, the voicist of Lina Inverse, a personal friend of mine, would you automatically believe and trust my word?
2002 December 6, R H Draney, “Re: 'Twas”, in alt.usage.english[7] (Usenet):
Among those I'm aware of, the son of cartoon voicist Mel Blanc (yes, this Jewish kid was actually given a name meaning "White Christmas")....r

She was once a voicist for "Josie and the Pussycats" playing Melody.
