This volume celebrates the ways in which singing features in film. This includes the singing voice as healer, as motivator, as entertainer, and as comedic interlude. Whether the singing voice in film is personally expressive, reflexive and distant, or synchronized for entertainment, there is typically interplay between the voice and visual elements. Extending beyond the body of literature on 'the musical', the volume is not about musicals \u003cem\u003eper se\u003c\/em\u003e. Rather, \u003cem\u003eThe Singing Voice in Contemporary Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e discusses the singing voice as a distinct agent that focuses on identity and identification. This book explores the relationship between screen, singing, singer and song; it celebrates the intersection of the singing voice and popular culture. In doing so, the volume crosses multiple disciplines including vocal studies, film studies, film sound studies, and music production (vocal processing).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will inform those teaching or interested in popular music, vocal studies, screen sound, and film, as well as singers and voice professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiane Hughes is an Associate Professor in Vocal Studies and Music at Macquarie University.
