Voluntary means that it is under your conscious control - you think about moving the muscle and it moves. Some examples would be your arm and leg muscles (biceps, triceps, quadriceps) and your tongue.

Pretty much all skeletal (striated) muscle. Voluntary muscle in any muscle you can think "right, I'm going to move the muscle", and then you can do it. Involuntary muscle includes the heart muscle, and the muscle that helps food travel through your gut, located in the walls of your bowels.

So examples of voluntary muscles might include:

Biceps brachii = flexes the arm at the elbow.

Trapezius = shrugs the shoulder.

Gluteus maximus = extends the lower limb (leg) at the hip.

Orbicularis oris = closes the mouth and is used for pouting.

And so on. Message me if you would like any more information, such as how your brain tells the muscles when to move, what nerves the message travels down for each muscle or anything else that you would like answering.
