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 Robertson's 1798 production of
Phantasmagoria, Cathy Berberian radio show, and Romeo Castellucci'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?

the Train and I Let You Go. You find your neighbour dead in his
bath. Your son is with you. He sees everything. You discover your

This book examines the performance of 'Britishness' on the musical
stage. Covering a tumultuous period in British history, it offers a
fresh look at the vitality and centrality of the musical stage, as
a global phenomenon in late-Victorian popular culture and beyond.
Through a re-examination of over fifty archival play-scripts, the
book comprises seven interconnected stories told in two parts. Part
One focuses on domestic and personal identities of 'Britishness',
and how implicit anxieties and contradictions of nationhood, class
and gender were staged as part of the popular cultural condition.
Broadening in scope, Part Two offers a revisionary reading of
Empire and Otherness on the musical stage, and concludes with a
consideration of the Great War and the interwar period, as musical
theatre performed a nostalgia for a particular kind of
'Britishness', reflecting the anxieties of a nation in decline.
