Hear For You

Welcome to Hear For You! This project explores the topic of the feminized voice as it operates for four college-aged participants. Using collaged interviews and an improvised recording of five vocalists, it examines how cultural ideas of the voice affect both conceptions of our sounds and our selves. Special thanks to Emma Ambler, Rose Gelfand, Valerie Jackman, and Cassidy Yueh for sharing their time and stories with me. I am so grateful to have connected with such wonderful people in the process of this project and hope that it was a mutually special experience. Thank you to my talented pals, Esi Igyan, Mario Juarez, Maya Goodwin, and Julia Sun, for lending their voices and laughter. To hear more, check out Mood Swing A Cappella wherever you stream music!

I would love to keep creating a safe space for people to feel heard. Email me at [email protected] if you have feedback about the project or any ideas about what I should do next. Thanks for listening! - Rowen Light-Wills
