28 The recent establishment of new voice-centred journals (e.g., The Journal of Interdisciplinary Voice Studies), the release of new edited volumes (e.g., Voice Studies: Critical Approaches to Process, Performance and Experience, ed. Konstantinos Thomaidis and Ben Macpherson (London and New York: Routledge, 2015)), and the upcoming publication of the Oxford Handbook of Voice Studies (ed. Nina Sun Eidsheim and Katherine Meizel, in press) confirm the increasing salience of ‘voice studies’ as an interdisciplinary rubric.
