Contemporary live arts and the social sciences both attach considerable importance to what is expressed by the voice. Oral history has long been a common and fully accepted mode of human inquiry, and such forms of interviewing or attentive listening are now key to several disciplines.

« Oral history research is a method in which personal stories are elicited from people over their life course. It is a specific method of interviewing that requires the researcher and participants to spend a long time together in a process of telling and listening to life stories. Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of human experience; meaning is conveyed through storytelling. This way of passing on knowledge has allowed researchers to develop research techniques that provide an opportunity for people to make their voices heard. An oral history often emphasizes a particular part of an individual’s life—for example, work life or a specific function in some aspect of community life. The emphasis of oral history is on a specific historical juncture, event, period or location which is memorized by individuals. »
