It's possible to Shout even without the Way of the Voice or dragonblood - in fact, a lot of Nord history is rarely spoken of simply for the inconvenience of having to put all the furniture right afterwards. Not to mention Cyrus once flew to the moon on a sailing ship with a Nord woman who could shout artillery out of the air.
But that's likely to remain the domain of esoteric lore rather than anything concrete within the game, because outside of Skyrim the ability is incredibly abstract, and the power variances are significant. In the same story that has Cyrus flying to the moon, Tiber Septim giggles an entire platoon of soldiers to death.
Granted, that's Tiber, so he's a bit above and beyond your standard Voice-user, but still.
