Modulo the lme4 reference, for which you provide no data, details, code
or context, you will probably find some suitable visualization methods
in the vcd package, with a tutorial vignette and some extensions in the
vcdExtra package.
These include mosaic plots, fourfold plots, and a variety of specialized
plots within the strucplot framework, which have close
relations to models for n-way frequency tables.

From your description above and the output below, it is not clear
whether you just want to view the associations within this table
or to compare the associations across the elided levels of
finaldata$question. Maybe somethings like [untested]
mytab <- table(finaldata$Voice, finaldata$supportive, finaldata$question)
mosaic(Voice, supportive, data=mytab)
mosaic(supportive ~ Voice|question, data=mytab)
would get you started.
Also, you have 4 levels for finaldata$Voice, which seem to imply
that these might be a 2x2 combination of Voice.gender and Voice.type
or something like that.
