Synonym Study (Merriam-Webster):

Express, vent, utter, voice, broach, and air mean to make known what one thinks or feels.

Express suggests an impulse to reveal in words, gestures, actions, or what one creates or produces:

Vent stresses a strong inner compulsion to express especially in words:
a tirade venting his frustration.

Utter implies the use of the voice not necessarily in articulate speech:

Air implies an exposing or parading of one's views often in order to gain relief, sympathy or attention:
