Inclusive and accessible education and training requirements have made new paradigms essential. It is no longer assumed in UK higher education and conservatory actor training contexts that the student experience will be subordinated to the pedagogical leadership of the tutor. To the contrary. Pedagogical design has increasingly engaged with the idea of re-situating the student/tutor learning dynamic to give value to multiple positions of knowledge in the training studio and to reflect diverse student experiences around race, class, gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity. The work to expose and reflect upon the impact of the re-positioned personal and professional knowledge of both trainer and student in the voice studio, is the focus of this article. The author argues that student interests are best served by practices informed by transparent and intersectional principles of engagement. The author discusses several ways in which to regard the social construction of vocal materiality as a baseline for work in the experiential studio. The account offers a critique of existing voice pedagogy and practice and suggests a theoretical framework by which to develop innovative and socially responsive voice praxis.","PeriodicalId":36249,"journal":{"name":"Voice and Speech Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"4 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48112859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For clients who use their voices professionally, SLP practice also routinely distinguishes between the voice (and vocal identity) of private life versus how the artist sounds in public performance. These traditional therapy principles are illustrated, and in some cases challenged, by case studies of six media actors in voice therapy. Although these clients were referred for therapy with somewhat similar vocal complaints, their openness to new vocal identities varied widely, and their degrees of differentiation between their private and public voices ranged from strict bifurcation to complete fusion. Outcomes also ranged from total rejections of therapy to successful resolutions of complaints that included creative adjustments at work. Represented professions include voice acting, dramatic television, comedy, and social influencing. Discussion references the concept of personal authenticity, suggests further research involving personality theory, and reinforces the importance of individualized, client-centered care for professional voice users.","PeriodicalId":36249,"journal":{"name":"Voice and Speech Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"151 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47602871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At times, the writing leans toward sensationalism. For example, in the chapter entitled Mouthbreathing, Nestor claims that “Ninety percent of children have acquired some degree of deformity in their mouths and noses” (32), but further inspection of the source reveals that, while technically true, fewer than 15% of these cases are serious enough to merit medical treatment (Notes, 237). Given this example, I encourage readers to investigate the original research used in the book to understand full context of the material. Overall, this is a fascinating and useful book, reminding us that “to breathe is to absorb ourselves in what surrounds us, to take in little bits of life, understand them, and give pieces of ourselves back out. Respiration is, at its core, reciprocation” (39). This book highlights many individuals who are currently exploring and working with breath. The innovations described could make this volume a good companion piece for students and clients on their own journeys of breath discovery, as well as breath practitioners.","PeriodicalId":36249,"journal":{"name":"Voice and Speech Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"248 - 250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43594008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He also references several 20th and 21st century writers, some of whom he lists in “Suggested Further Reading” (236–7). A fascinating ancillary Appendix, entitled “What Shakespeare Learned at School” (211– 219) is a well-reasoned and documented argument against any Oxfordian nay-sayers regarding Shakespeare’s authorship of the works attributed to him. Teachings from the Latin Trivium was “the starting point for a liberal arts education consisting of grammar, logic, and rhetoric” (235). “Ultimately the schoolboy was to learn how to express himself well in both prose and verse. A key part of this process was both translation and imitation . . . Imitation was the rendering of new matter in the style of a well-known author,” or, as Ben Jonson put it in his Timber, “to convert the substance or riches of another poet to his own use” (214). It is easy to reckon that Shakespeare was a voracious reader of others’ influential works, particularly after his schooling; his studies merely provided the acumen “to draw forth out of the best and choicest flowers, with the bee, and turn all into honey,” as Jonson wrote (214), and to continue to develop the rhetorical brilliance which irradiates his plays and poems. Brandreth’s Shakespeare’s Rhetoric is a must-have reference text to deepen an appreciation for Shakespeare’s literary and imaginative creations.","PeriodicalId":36249,"journal":{"name":"Voice and Speech Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"250 - 253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48568075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although voice teachers, in particular singing teachers from traditions other than the Roy Hart Tradition, have been invited to teach at the Roy Hart Centre, this was the first time, to my knowledge, that three teaching approaches have been represented over an intense ten-day period of study. Five teachers contributed to this event: Tilde Van Haaster (Holland), Master Trainer for Estill Voice Training; Alida Bevk (Slovenia), Fitzmaurice Voicework practitioner; and Carol Mendelsohn, Saule Ryan, and Kevin Crawford for the Roy Hart Tradition. Entitled “Voice Symposium,” the event was primarily concerned with practice, although several evenings were dedicated to presentations by the five teachers, outlining the history, orientation, aims, and theoretical bases for each approach. In the second week, students and teachers had the opportunity at the end of the day’s practical studies to discuss and share their experiences. The 12 participants, despite COVID-19 restrictions, came from the United States, Egypt, France, Denmark, Holland, Israel, Spain, and Belgium. Most of them had prior experience with the Roy Hart approach, but a few had met Estill Voice Training or Fitzmaurice Voicework. Tilde Van Haaster has had contact with the Roy Hart approach since the early 1990s, but for Alida Bevk, it was a first experience both with the Roy Hart and Estill approaches. Saule Ryan had already met Estill Voice Training, and Kevin Crawford had participated in some Fitzmaurice Voicework. The diversity in both teachers and participants proved to be a strong point of the symposium. As the teachers too took part in their colleagues’ classes, there was an atmosphere of shared experience and a corresponding openness to the work that allowed it to take place without prejudice or assumptions. In preparing the symposium, we subtitled it “Complementary and Contrasting: A Closer Look at Three Seminal Influences on Voicework Today.” During the practical sessions, we had a first-hand opportunity to engage with these notions.
