AB - This study systematically examines the conceptual foundations and arts-therapeutic applications of somatic voice across 60 interdisciplinary studies (2000-2025) using a scoping review methodology.
The analysis delineates three core definitional axes: (1) a body–voice integration system centered on neurophysiological regulation, (2) a relational–existential soma emphasizing intersubjective resonance, and (3) an embodied cognitive tool for self-regulation and cognitive structuring. These dimensions collectively form a bottom-up layered structure extending from physiological grounding to relational resonance. Furthermore, a synthesis of 23 intervention studies reveals a predominant focus on respiratory- vocal training, with psychological outcomes assessed more frequently than physiological indicators.
These results establish somatic voice as a multi-layered embodied process and provide a robust theoretical framework for future research and clinical practice in integrative arts therapy
