While the human voice is a fundamental part of our everyday experience, it remains engimatic in many ways. In 'Why Do People Sing?' Paddy Scannell explores some of the mysteries at the heart of vocal communication, from language acquisition and recording technology, to the effects of the microphone on the voice and singing techniques. What explains the communicative musicality of the voices between parent and child as a baby learns to talk? Can readers of fiction hear the voices of authors and characters within apparently soundless written texts? These questions and more are explored in this book.
