This volume focuses on the singing voice in contemporary cinema
from 1945 to the present day, and rather than being restricted to
one particular genre, considers how the singing voice has helped
define and/or confuse genre classification. Typically heard in
song, the singing voice is arguably the most expressive of all
musical instruments. This volume celebrates the ways in which
singing features in film. This includes the singing voice as
protagonist, as narrator, as communicator, as entertainer, and as
comedic interlude. Whether the singing voice in film is personally
expressive, reflexive and distant, or synchronized for
entertainment, there is typically interplay between the voice and
visual elements. Extending beyond the body of literature on 'the
musical', the volume is not about musicals per se. Rather, The
Singing Voice in Contemporary Cinema discusses the singing voice as
a distinct genre that focuses on the conceptualization and
synchronization of the singing voice in the post-War era. It
explores the relationship between screen, singing, singer and song;
it celebrates the intersection of the singing voice and popular
culture. In doing so, the volume will cross multiple disciplines
including vocal studies, film studies, film sound studies, and
music production (vocal processing).
