Ulfric Stormcloak can shout, and he is neither Dovahkiin nor Greybeard, though he likely gained the ability by training with the latter. I wanna know why he and the Greybeards can shout without being able to absorb dragon souls, though. Besides, dozens of high-level draugr can shout. Olaf One-Eye is not unique in this ability. Anyone can learn to shout, it just take a hell of a time to learn the way of the voice, you don't need to absorb dragon souls, the dragonborn absorbs them and he from that soul they learn a word of power. Imagine it as a test, ulfric and the greybeards study for heaps long and the dragonborn just cheats and copies when it's time to do the test. Cheating? So finding all those word walls and slaying those dozens of dragons is the easy way? No. Just the quicker way.
