Successful integration of acting, voice and movement has long been desired in theatre-arts training. Existing systems, however, often offer three distinct and separate areas of performance training – at least within US higher-education curricular contexts. But, this article proposes, in team-teaching, we gain an experience of living the integration, of challenging the ways we traditionally teach exercises and of finding new ways to rework concepts and exercises taught to us. Consciously creating bridges across areas of training enables students to grow by experiencing two perspectives in the same classroom. Integration is the aim of a new ‘Introduction to Voice and Movement’ course created and team-taught by the authors of this article, a voice professor and a movement professor. We sought not only to merge voice and movement training within our university theatre department, but to re-evaluate how we approach teaching voice and movement. The experience became more than simply integrating voice and movement into one class. The discovery of pedagogical alignment resulted in the merging of two personal pedagogies. This merging became integration as students carried the physio-vocal training into their lives and artistry beyond the classroom.

When does musical theatre consider an ageing female voice to be an ‘old(er)’ voice? What is the ‘expected’ voice quality for ageing female performers and what does it take to still be considered for roles after ‘a certain age’? This Voicing stems from a four-year doctoral research project that sought to identify and examine stereotypes, preconceptions and complexities that occur in the dramaturgy and performance of female ageing vocalities in musical theatre. Compiling extracts from research interviews with ageing musical theatre performers, it is composed in the format of a virtual round-table, and it aims to reveal and present, for the first time, the harsh realities of gendered ageing in musical theatre.

In the decades following the Second World War, novel sound technologies and the proliferation of ethnomusicological field recordings ignited curiosity and experimentation among many musicians; these cultural phenomena also sparked a re-examination of conventional Euro-American musical sound sources. Classically trained instrumentalists and singers – particularly those associated with the ‘experimental tradition’ – cultivated intentionally idiosyncratic musical practices and widened their range of sonic possibility; this cultural zeitgeist included a heightened interest in so-called extended vocal techniques. In this article, I examine the research and creative output of the Extended Vocal Techniques Ensemble (EVTE) of the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). Drawing from published literature, interviews and archival sources to write this account of the EVTE’s multifaceted work, I contextualize the group’s activities within UCSD’s interdisciplinary emphasis as well as in the broader social–historical discourses of ‘extended vocal techniques’. Furthermore, I address the implications of their story within the broader politics of vocal aesthetics and pedagogy in Euro-American classical music contexts. By unearthing the EVTE’s interdisciplinary vision for vocal study, I hope to not only spark interest in this ensemble’s contributions, but also to revive (and build upon) their vision of a radically reimagined vocal artistry and study in academic music and beyond.

Skylighght is a piece for voice and tenor saxophone created by Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers, of thingNY. The half-hour piece explores the duet structure in a number of different configurations, offering an intimate and vulnerable practice for finding the meeting ground of the voice and the saxophone, both sonically and physically. This Voicing contains the prose score for the piece with extensive description and methodologies for how to perform the piece. Some sections of the work respond to architectural space, while others use the unique pairing of a vocalist singing into the bell of the saxophone to make novel sounds. The final movement, ‘Building Canyons’, is designed for spotlighting the extraordinary multiphonics and harmonic partials that can be created when a vocalist sings into the instrument while the saxophonist is playing from the other end.

This Voicing explores the theoretical and material connections between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and voice. The Voicing is in three-parts encompassing: a theoretical introduction with a taxonomy for voice and AI, an extract from artist K. Allado-McDowell’s new work Air Age Blueprint and an interview based on such text. Allado-McDowell pioneered the field of human–artificial intelligence interaction and literature. With their book Pharmako-AI, written in collaboration with GPT-3, Allado-McDowell stretched the limits of language creation. Francesco Bentivegna worked as artist in the liminal space of cyborgean voices and recently completed their Ph.D. on voice, AI and synthetic personas. As an exercise in philosophy of AI, voice studies and artistic research, Allado-McDowell and Bentivegna move in conversation through biases, vibes and language, exploring narrative, science and theory.

This Voicing emerges from an experimental workshop, which is part of an ongoing practice-as-research project on voicing enchantment. The research project is inspired by Siren song, which according to the ancient Greek myth is sung near the sea and is purported to produce thelxis (‘enchantment’) in all who hear it. With the help of poetic and photographic material, this Voicing narrates the development of the workshop, which oriented workshop participants’ listening to the sea as they imaginatively explored the potential remnants of Siren song in seashells. With audio-visual material offering glimpses into the workshop, and with experiential invitations to the reader interwoven in the writing, this contribution attempts to offer a novel way to experience the mythical Siren song and also proposes a path towards a speculative, ecological vocal practice.

This article deals with the groundbreaking phenomenon of AI voice, highlighting two possible meanings that are often not problematized: the voice embedded into AI-based devices and the voice created using AI algorithms. In order to clarify the distinctions and the intersections of these two meanings, the article uses an approach inspired by media archaeology and social constructionism. It argues that AI voice as a social phenomenon is constructed by the interaction of a discursive level of representations and a non-discursive level of material practices and operations. The interaction of these two levels results in a tension between anthropocentrism and posthumanism, which is a characteristic of AI voice. Such tension is investigated through two case studies: the commercial of the smart speaker Amazon Alexa and the phenomenon of ‘voice cloning’. While the first is an example of how at a discursive level the ‘voice in the machine’ is represented as a way to ‘personify’ AI technology, the second, which consists in the possibility of reproducing the features of an embodied and personal voice, is an example of how the materialization of that cultural idea depends on the technical possibilities and material practices required by data-driven algorithms.
