Description: Investigates vocal delivery in modern theatre performance, considering the relation between the sound emitted and the dramatic texts, artistic ideas, and communicative needs that call forth the utterance. Focuses on 20th century productions of Shakespeare, and argues that the emphasis on visual aspects has led to a neglect of the voice.
