Is reverberate a dialogue tag? [closed]
Just like the title say and here are the examples:
“Took you long enough.” Without warning, her voice reverberated from my side.
“Ngh! Phew… Oh no!” A voice reverberated from the crash site and footsteps drew closer to me.
I think the second one can get away without being a dialogue tag, but... what about the first one?
Thank you in advance.
