Voigt functions occur frequently in a wide variety of problems in several diverse fields of physics. This paper presents a unified study of generalised Voigt functions. In particular, some expansions of unified Voigt functions are given in terms of the original functions. Some deductions from these representations are obtained which give us an opportunity to underline the special rôle of the associated generating functions.
