'Amplified Utterances' is an online platform that supports a space for exploration and research, regarding voice in public and its amplification, developed by Angeliki Diakrousi. It consists of a set of experiments that questions the establishment of authoritative/male voices that create exclusive speech platforms, along the assumption that voices have to be rational, authoritative (voice of expertise) etc. The intervention that changes the paradigm becomes a set of podcasts that revisit an archive of audio recordings produced in situated meetings and soundwalks. Every podcast exists on a way that creates repetetive layers of the same material. I perceive amplification as a way to create presence many times through repetition and multiplication. 'Podcast Utterances' is upsetting binaries such as male/female, expert/amateur, rational/irrational. It is about creating poetic (audio) narratives emerging from the contribution of people.

<divclass="drag-content">How can we engage politically with the exclusion of specific voices from the public sphere? Here I document my attempts to create a safe common space of trying methods and discussing that topic in Leeszaal, an open library that I consider a diverse public space. I am borrowing methods from feminist groups and protest movements and vocal warming up exercises by Pauline Oliveros. For example, protesters would amplify the speaker's voice by repeating collectively their speech to make their presence visible. Feminists would create safe spaces where women could speak about domestic violence and make a dialogue based on listening. Some methods are vocal performances in situ, the "human microphone", speech acts, listening practices, making podcasts, mediating speech, transform our voices, situated experiments. I am doing that together with Christina Karagianni, who is also from Greece and with whom I share similar experiences of silencing. We combine our practices -her practice lies on choreography and dance and mine on social interaction, voice and sound- and try vocal exercises and reading in moments of Leeszaal.<divclass="tooltip-wrap"style="display: inline;text-decoration:underline;">We invite <divclass="tooltip-content-right"><div>how we should approch the gender terminology and false association with voice when inviting people? Should it be about femme sounding? Female voice? </div></div></div>people from Leeszaal and our environment, who find themselves related and interested to this topic. Elements from the meetings: discuss previous material, reading extracts in random order, <divclass="tooltip-wrap"style="display: inline;text-decoration:underline;">discuss <divclass="tooltip-content-right"><div>what conflicts or frictions the technical aspect provokes?</div></div></div>personal associations and experiences with voice in public, warm up, say a sentence of personal experience in any language, transcribe only the vowels, read back the vowels, read outloud all together the score of vowels, repeat sentences with distorted voice, make podcasts.</div>

How can we engage politically with the exclusion of specific (female) voices from the public sphere through our own voice? Here I document my attempts to create a safe common space of discussing that topic in Leeszaal, that I consider a diverse public space, where we can explore our public voices in situ, and trying out vocal performances. I am doing that together with Christina Karagianni, who is also from Greece and with whom I share similar experiences of silencing. We combine our practices -her practice lies on choreography and mine on social interaction and sound- and try vocal exercises and reading in moments of Leeszaal. Structure of the meetings: reading extracts in random order, discuss peronal associations, warm up, say a personal sentence in any language, transcribe only the vowels, read back the vowels, sing all together the score of vowels.
