Reviews
This book is a gripping and wide-ranging study of the issues that arise when a voice inhabits another body and, by doing so, creates a new audio-visual collage. Its insights will come as a revelation to anyone who thinks lipsynching is simply a matter of ensuring that your lips move at the same time as the recorded voice. * Derek B. Scott, Professor of Critical Musicology, University of Leeds, UK, and author of The Ashgate Research Companion to Popular Musicology (2009) *
Engages with the phenomenon from a variety of different perspectives ... Snell covers interesting historical and technical material. * The Wire * This book is a gripping and wide-ranging study of the issues that arise when a voice inhabits another body and, by doing so, creates a new audio-visual collage. Its insights will come as a revelation to anyone who thinks lipsynching is simply a matter of ensuring that your lips move at the same time as the recorded voice. * Derek B. Scott, Professor of Critical Musicology, University of Leeds, UK, and editor of The Ashgate Research Companion to Popular Musicology (2009) * Spanning from the Kinetograph to viral videos, this is a rich study that situates lipsynching - as a creative, 'readerly' form of listening - in a long history of audio-visual media, culminating in what Snell calls a 'soundtracked life'. It will be a valuable book for sound and media scholars, and for anyone interested in how notions of the cinematic extend into today's vernacular musical practices. * Carlo Cenciarelli, Lecturer in Music, Cardiff University, UK, and editor of The Oxford Handbook of Cinematic Listening (forthcoming) *
