Can You Hear My Voice? - Official Trailer

“Can You Hear My Voice?” is a triumphant documentary about a choir unlike any other in the world - a choir whose singers have no voice boxes. The film is produced and directed by award-winning Los Angeles documentary filmmaker Bill Brummel - his first film since having his own voice box removed in 2016.
At its heart, “Can You Hear My Voice?” is a film about the arduous transition from life with a voice box, to one without. It’s told through the personal stories of members a one-of-a-kind choir in London, made up of individuals who because of various throat cancers, have had their voice boxes surgically removed in a life-altering surgery called a laryngectomy. The film follows the choir as they prepare for the most ambitious concert they’ve ever performed, a sold-out performance at London’s historic Tabernacle theater, and features songs made popular by Nina Simone, Tears for Fears and Louis Armstrong. Interspersed with the concert preparations are the personal stories of three members of the Shout at Cancer choir. Their specific accounts are examples of the broad experiences of laryngectomy patients, and how they traversed the traumatic psychosocial obstacles of living without a voice box, to emerge as fully engaged, communicative and accomplished human beings. “Can You Hear My Voice?” is an entertaining and triumphant testimony about a universal theme - the human capacity for resilience, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.

My husband had a laryngectomy in 2016, watching this film gave us both so much hope, and voice. It was AMAZING.

Thank you, Fayebert. I too had my laryngectomy in 2016. I hope you and your husband are doing well.

My goodness. I received and watched the trailer earlier today, and of course registered. I didn't realize how emotional I would get when watching the trailer, after being a laryngectomee since 2008. I think I have probably spent the majority of my time as a laryngectomee attempting to blend into the crowd and looking "normal"...whatever that is. In any event, thank you Bill Brummel for what had to be a monumental project, and I so look forward to watching this. Thank you.
