<br/><br/>  	<br/>"Contemporary actor training in the US and UK has become increasingly multicultural and multilinguistic. Border-crossing, cross-cultural exchange in contemporary theatre practices, and the rise of the intercultural actor has meant that actor training today has been shaped by multiple modes of training and differing worldviews. How might mainstream Anglo-American voice training for actors address the needs of students who bring multiple worldviews into the training studio? When several vocal training traditions are leaned simultaneously, how does this shift the way actors think, talk and train the voice? How does this change the way actors understand what a voice is? What it can/should do? How it can/should do it? Using adaptations of a traditional Korean vocal art, p'ansori, with adaptations of the 'natural' or 'free' voice approach, McAllister-Viel offers an alternative approach to training actors' voices by (re)considering the materials of training: breath, sound, 'presence', and text. This work contributes to on-going discussions about the future of voice pedagogy in theatre, for those practitioners and scholars interested in performance studies, ethnomusicology, voice studies, and intercultural theories and practices"--
