""Through a dynamic range of international perspectives, this rich and far-reaching anthology broadens the discourse on voice's role in cinematic experience, capturing how particular voices perform within the image flows of contemporary global cultures. From the accented locatability of speech to the hyper-transmutability of vocal dubbing, voice is critically examined as a highly charged medium for national and geopolitical interests, lending critical weight to cultural agendas as well as poetic resistances.""-- Brandon LaBelle ""The voice receives the attention it deserves in Locating the Voice in Film, a most welcome addition to the literature on film and media sound. Drawing on recent work in performance, translation, and media sound, this fine collection covers a wide array of practices of translation, dubbing, and voice replacement essential to the global circulation of moving-image media. Besides the novel emphasis on the voice, Locating the Voice in Film's international/global coverage helps move the study of film sound beyond its customary focus on Hollywood cinema."" -- Charles O'Brien, Associate Professor of Film Studies, Carleton University
