Abstract

How do expectations surrounding vocal identity, authenticity, and agency shape artistic practice? What happens at the intersection of linguistic and cultural identities? In this article, I reflect on the potentiality of exophonic writing and on the impact of speaking and writing in two languages and discuss the concept of voice in both a literal and metaphorical sense, emphasizing how voice training has shaped my artistic identity. This work questions the notion of linguistic ownership and the fluidity of identity in a bilingual context. Through personal anecdotes and critical commentary, I offer insights into the transformative power of embracing multiple linguistic and cultural influences in artistic practice.
