This thesis by publication aims to explore and articulate professional singers' experiences of objectification and the resulting feelings of shame. By challenging the simplistic notion of the singing voice as merely an instrument, the research argues for greater recognition of the complex humanity inherent in the embodied voice. Singers are often objectified for both their voices and physical appearance, a treatment that may contribute to significant but underacknowledged emotional suffering and shame. Additionally, this research seeks to offer pedagogical recommendations for educators, coaches, and medical professionals who work with singers, emphasizing the importance of compassion and empathy as antidotes to shame.
The qualitative data will be collected through three distinct phases. Phase one involves a qualitative survey aimed at providing a broad understanding of how objectification and shame affect singers. Phase two consists of semi-structured interviews with professional singers who have experienced vocal injury, focusing on how they were treated by doctors, peers, and teachers, and whether objectification and shame were present in those interactions. Phase three includes semi-structured interviews with late-career and retired singers to explore how objectification and shame have impacted them over time.

The findings and recommendations from this study will be particularly valuable to singers, educators, and medical practitioners. Moreover, the insights gained are likely to be of interest to those working in other embodied arts, such as acting and dance.
