Summary/Abstract: We might assume that the history of voice is the history of theatre, but we cannot distinguish between voice and drama because we have no historical evidence. The voice is the théâtrophone that can semantically contain an entire show, listening to the theatre without looking at it clearly shows that, hearing, we see. The voice of the actor as an instrument and as the art of interpreting and communicating emotions.
