sotto voce

From the Italian, meaning 'low voice'. To speak quietly out of the corner of your mouth so that the subject of your speech can't hear your insult or know that you are speaking.

"Oh, what a beautiful creature your daughter is", said Mrs. Mulroy saccarinely to Mrs. Katz at the Bat-mitzvah.
"Too bad the zoo can't identify what kind of creature she is", Mrs. Jackson said sotto voce to Mrs. Mulroy as they plastered wide smiles on their faces.

Messa Di Voce

1. The gradual swelling and diminishing of sound produced by the voice that gives shape to a long note. This technique has been used with instruments as well, but is primarily a vocal instruction.

2. An unofficial "gang" for "bad-ass" Choir/Band kids. They all come together very few times for special musical festivals, competitions, and auditions.

1. There are so many Messa Di Voce notes in this piece.

2. I'm a member of the Messa Di Voces.

faux sotto voce

An aside, like sotto voce, but spoken loudly enough that the person who is the subject can hear it, unlike sotto voce.

He spoke to them about me, but in a faux sotto voce for me to overhear: "Somebody doesn't know their place."

sotto-sotto voce

An aside, like sotto voce, but spoken loudly enough that the person who is the subject can hear it.

Note: There is no synonym that I'm aware of.

When he said "someone doesn't know their place!", he didn't say it sotto voce, but sotto-sotto voce, loud enough for all to hear.
