Live discussions and online submissions feature in this event. In response to an article by Cambridge classicist and author Mary Beard, about the need for consciousness-raising around what is meant by the voice of authority in society, Voicing Gender will commission three podcasts about speaking out in a public place. They will explore the ways in which embodied vocal strategies, developed and researched within voice training, can help to inform the positioning of that authority for a number of speakers and thereby contribute to their successful reception.
