Voice is both a mediatized representation (the instrumental soundtrack) severed from its source (the film), a representational extension (musical sound) that emerges from the actions of an identified source (the violin playing) and a real albeit amplified production (dialogue) that emerges from an identified source (Anderson’s corporeal body) but does not necessarily correspond with the visual display of the filmic projection.'' — {small}(In Johanna Frank (University of Windsor), [Exposed Ventriloquism: Performance, Voice, and the Rupture of the Visible\|http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.ark5583.0019.001], Ann Arbor, MI: MPublishing, University of Michigan Library, vol. 19, Fall 2005-Spring 2006, Issue title: Bodies: Physical and Abstract){/small}{br}\| {br}{br} {br}{br}
