The practice and politics of the unfettered female voice--reclaiming your power through voice, song, and opera-inspired exercises.For centuries, opera has used women’s voices to convey male stories. Within an art form dominated by men, the female voice is a means to an end: controlled, denatured, and crafted to carry words and intentions that belie the true depth and complexity of the female experience.Here, author and opera singer Fides Krucker shows readers what it means to find--and use--our authentic voice, to sing wildly and uninhibited from the depths of our bodies and spirits. Part memoir, part radical vocal guide, and part feminist call to action, Reclaiming Calliope offers an intriguing look at the rarified world of opera, with fascinating behind-the-scenes details to which outsiders don’t typically have access. Through incisive critique, personal stories, and intriguing exposé, Krucker razes the male gaze that packaged characters like Carmen, Tosca, and La Traviota’s Violetta for viewer consumption--and radically envisions an empowered, new way of finding and fueling the authentic female voice.Through a series of breathing and vocal prompts that anyone--not just singers--can do, Krucker helps readers reconnect to their authentic primal voices: she takes the reader inside her vocal studio to learn new methods of breath, voicework, and embodiment to uncover and access personal and social truths. Each chapter includes a theme-related exercise--an act of expression, release, self-discovery, or resistance--that guides readers to develop voices unbound from anyone else’s storytelling, boldly and without apology.Advance Praise“Krucker courageously and candidly shares knowledge hard-won by experience and deep, clear-eyed examination of the damage inflicted on the human voice, especially a woman’s voice, by society, cultural norms, and music (popular as well as classical) that have forced the voice into an ‘acceptable’ box devoid of integration with the whole self. Through personal stories, illuminative exercises, and raw truth, Reclaiming Calliope presents an engrossing invitation to self-discovery for singers, actors, and anyone interested in the voice.”—GRACE ZANDARSKI, head of voice and text, associate professor adjunct at David Geffen School of Drama at Yale“Fides Krucker’s personal and prismatic reflection on womanhood, art, the voice, patriarchy, the body and history offers various brilliant methods of unshackling our most primal and most free selves…. It is a revelation, a free-wheeling compendium of insight and great depth.”—PATRICIA ROZEMA, filmmaker, Into the Forest, Mansfield Park, Mouthpiece, and I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing“Reclaiming Calliope is both a finely wrought, intimate artistic memoir and a triumphant journal of a lifelong quest for the authentic, liberated female voice in face of historical and present day patriarchal disdain.” —Gabor Maté, MD, author of When The Body Says No
