Two Slang expressions

Posted by Miri Barak on March 27, 2003

I would like to know the exact meaning of "his voice carries" in the sentence: "Yea well his voice usualyy carries, don't let it bother you though.
Does it oritinate from the expression "He can carry a tune?" and is the meaning that he has a loud voice?
My second question is: "get the hell out of sight." Does it mean simply - leave the place?
Thank you very much
