My current mastery of this grammar point:
This article is based on the essay on 澄 in the Joy o' Kanji essay collection.
In English, we typically use the word 'have' to refer to body parts or bodily functions. Japanese is actually closer to French, which uses the the word 'do' in the same context - in Japanese, we use する, in the present progressive form, している (I am doing).
adjective + bodily function + をしている
means to have ~
This syntax applies not only to the voice and bodily functions but also to the five senses.
