Vocal expressions complete topless cancans, say (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

utterances

'vocal expressions' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'complete topless cancans say' is the wordplay.
'complete' becomes 'utter' (both can mean total).
'topless' means to remove the first letter.
'cancans say' becomes 'dances' (cancan is a kind of dance).
'dances' with its first letter taken off is 'ances'.
'utter'+'ances'='UTTERANCES'

(Another definition for utterances that I've seen is " They are said".)
