REASONS WHY
I HATE MY VOICE
A workshop on human phonation developed alongside PITCH. Notes on vocal intonation, a performance-lecture and video essay - winner of the 7th edition of Lydia Prize by Fondazione Il Lazzatto and PAC Milan, curated by Claudia D’Alonzo
Why do we hate the sound of our own voice when we hear it played back?
Through a series of exercises blending voice-over, dubbing, and voice notes, the workshop explores the hidden habits embedded in phonation processes across different languages and species, our preferences around vocal qualities, and the cultural implications these preferences reveal.
The workshop lasts 2 hours and is open to a maximum of 20 participants.
Proposed at Centro Pecci (Prato), Fondazione Il Lazzaretto (Milan), Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio (in collaboration with Kevin B. Lee and Silvia Cipelletti), BASECAMP - artistic residency of Locarno Film Festival at Fabbrica del Vapore (Milan), Cascina Cappuccina (Milan), EXIT Festival (Prati di Caprara, Bologna).
