Vocal and Action-Language, Culture and Expression e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Many of my pupils have repeatedly requested me to print for reference the matter on elocution as I have given it in class and private instruction. With this in view, and hoping to benefit professional speakers and others, I venture to make public the subject as it has been received from the best sources in this country, which I am assured, upon the most reliable evidence, affords Opportunities superior to those of any other in the world. My aim has been simply to make a concise and practical handbook on elocution, adapted especially to the needs of those who have had no adequate instruction or practice in an art which they must use as readers, Speakers, or teachers. I lay no claim to original discovery, except in minor instances; but claim the advantage of having proven in teaching the value of the method and practice herein pre sented.
