Voicework

• Order from Montemayor Press

Voicework examines traditional perceptions of women’s and men’s voices and shows how those perceptions shape every speaker to the present day. Voicework reveals how a “masculine” style of speaking remains the ideal, even if women are the speakers.

Where does this quandary leave public speakers, male and female alike? Edith Poor argues in Voicework that only by expanding our perceptions of what the human voice can convey—and by learning to listen to the voice in new, more open-minded ways—will we reach a higher level of communication.

Praise for Voicework:

• “Edith Poor explores the issue of how women can effectively use their voices in public speaking. At the same time, she discusses the bias of listeners in favor of male voices…This small book tackles an important topic—not only for women in media, female speakers, but for all of us who want to be heard and taken seriously.”
