Volume — nothing cooler for speech-maker (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

voice box

'speech-maker' is the definition.

'volume nothing cooler' is the wordplay.
'volume' becomes 'v'.
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'cooler' becomes 'icebox' (I've seen this before).
'v'+'o'+'icebox'='VOICE-BOX'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for voice box that I've seen before include "The informal larynx" , "Organ" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
