Voice Studies brings together leading international scholars and practitioners; to re-examine what voice is; what voice does; and what we mean by "voice studies" in the process and experience of performance. This dynamic and interdisciplinary publication draws on a broad range of approaches; from composing and voice teaching through to psychoanalysis and philosophy; including:voice training from the Alexander Technique to practice-as-research; operatic and extended voices in early baroque and contemporary underwater singing; voices across cultures; from site-specific choral performance in Kentish mines and Australian sound art; to the laments of Kraho Indians; Korean pansori and Javanese wayang; voice; embodiment and gender in Robertsonrsquo;s 1798 production of Phantasmagoria; Cathy Berberian radio show; and Romeo Castelluccirsquo;s theatre; perceiving voice as a composer; listener; or as eavesdropper; voice; technology and mobile apps. With contributions spanning six continents; the volume considers the processes of teaching or writing for voice; the performance of voice in theatre; live art; music; and on recordings; and the experience of voice in acoustic perception and research. It concludes with a multifaceted series of short provocations that simply revisit the core question of the whole volume: what is voice studies?

It is written through the lens of an actor with raw experience. Autobiographical;informative; and witty; this book gives us a backstage view into what it really takes to run a theatre company. It also speaks candidly and personally about getting a day job in a new city in order to survive; stay healthy; and network while you plan. The information to getting started are all in one place; which makes it a great detailed reference guide for people just getting started or who have already begun. A great book to have in your library if youre thinking about venturing into non for profit theatre.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic blueprint for starting a theatre!By K.

The First and Last Place You Need To LookBy Megan ElizabethBeing in the process of starting my own theater company; Mr Nelsons book was the one stop shop I was looking for. Not only are there great tidbits for how to start your own theater company but several "what not to dos" when venturing out on your own. We have made this required reading for all of our founders and plan on using this book to check in throughout this whirlwind adventure. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
