The answer

The blessing of a beautiful voice should be acknowledged by using it in ways that please Allah. There is no harm in reciting the Quran or chanting, especially among women. However, recording such recitations or performing them in the presence of non- men is impermissible due to the potential for softness and modulation of the voice, which can lead to temptation. Jurists have explicitly stated the dislike of a woman raising her voice during prayer in the presence of a non-mahram man, fearing temptation from her voice. And anything involving the stretching and trilling of the voice in recitation or chanting is even more deserving of prohibition.
