Other questions about "Voice"

Q: your voice is legit. Does this sound natural?
A: It is a natural but very casual expression. To me, it implies the person's voice is incredibly good, probably good enough to be a professional.

I disagree with the other people who answered. "Legit" as an adjective meaning "very good; the real deal" is definitely something a native speaker like me would say and sounds natural. But it's slang used by teens and people in their 20s, and it might be regional.

Edit: The other slang usage of "legit" is as an adverb meaning "honestly; truly; literally." Eg. "Really? I legit didn't know that." "He legit just walked in and started swearing at us."

Legit is also used as an informal shortening of "legitimate." Eg. "His ID isn't legit."
