Download or read book Elocution and Action Classic Reprint written by Frank Townsend Southwick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elocution and Action I do not advocate memorizing the lessons. Theconstant necessity for applying the instructions to the practical work of expression will soon fix in the pupil's mind all that is of importance. Discuss thoroughly each chapter, multiplying the illustrations and trying to lead the pupil to work out for himself, if possible, the solution of the problems under consideration. Exercises relating to a particular subject are num bered consecutively throughout the book without re gard to other exercises that may intervene. For instance, under Breathing, Exercises 1, 2, and 3 will be found in Lesson IV, and 4, 5, 6, and 7 in Lesson XIX. This will, it is believed, aid in keeping each subject more completely apart from the others than if the ordinary method of numbering were followed.

This will, it is believed, aid in keeping each subject more completely apart from the others than if the ordinary method of numbering were followed. Little will be found here relating to emotional ex pression; such work belongs to a later period of mental development than was contemplated in pre paring this manual. The painful exhibition of preco cions, hot-house passion has no part in the author's scheme of education. Even those of more mature years who may find this manual useful are advised to thoroughly master its precepts before e saying higher flights. The great essential is a solid foundation of conversational delivery. Emotion that is, genuine will find its own outlet, if the channels of expression are free.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons in Elocution, or a Selection of Pieces in Prose and Verse, for the Improvement of Youth in Reading and Speaking The dificulty of describing action by Words, will be allowed by every one; and if we were never to give any instructions, but such as should completely answer our wishes, this difficulty would be a good reason for not at tempting to give any description of it. But there are many degrees between conveying a precise idea of a thing and no idea at all. Besides, in this part of deliv ery, instruction may be conveyed by the eye and this organ is a much more rapid vehicle of knowledge than the ear. This vehicle is addressed on the present occasion and plates, representing the attitudes which are described are annexed to the several descriptions, which it is not doubted, will greatly facilitate the reader's conception.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Speaking, as Taught in Yale College The topics discussed in the present volume, have all met with the cordial approbation and sympathy of the students, and notwithstanding the failure of success in respect to the others, the instructor has had the satisfaction of knowing, that though occupying a situation of no official rank or authority, and yet one in which from the very nature of the subject taught, the modest and difiident must be brought forward and protected, and those whose example or conduct obstructs their own and others' improvement must be checked, and if necessary sternly rebuked, he has never to his knowledge made a personal ene my or caused the governing faculty any trouble. It has been by the manifestations of kind respect on the part of the stu dents, that he has been encouraged in carrying into action the principle that faithful are the wounds of a friend. Young men feel that among those whose example does not entice them to immorality, they can have no worse enemy than he who de frauds them of that part which it is his duty to afi'ord them, of the highest of earthly blessings, education.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address to the National Association of Elocutionists The tongue, and not the jaw, is the agent of articulation; but one can scarcely be con scious of the tongue's positions while the jaw is constantly opening and closing. These motions really effect nothing. Voice is formed in the throat, and its emission through the mouth is impeded rather than facilitated by this masticatory action. The clear articula tion of consonants, too, depends on lingual firmness, and this is rendered impossible by the looseness of the jaw; substituting for in ternal impulse what some one has aptly de scribed as chin-whack. Consonants in this way lose their essential percussive quality, and the whole of speech becomes slurred and indistinct.

Download or read book The Normal Reader Classic Reprint written by J. V. Coombs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Normal Reader Elocution is the expression of thought by word and action. In order to become a good reader three things are necessary: A good voice, A correct pronunciation, A forcible expression. To obtain a forcible voice is not difficult. Some say My voice is too feeble; I can never become a speaker. Should they lie in the shade one year Without exercise or sunshine, they would have feeble muscles. Practice will give any one a voice of sufficient force to be heard clearly in any hall in the land. Go to work at once and acquire a good voice. Put the voice to its severest test. In balmy weather, go out in the groves and practice on a high key. Then on a low' key. Do not be alarmed should you get hoarse the first time. Try again. If a person has not been accustomed to walking, the first few hours' walk will greatly fatigue him. But let him practice walking each day and he will become accustomed to it. Occasionally the race-horse is put to his severest test. So the voice must occasionally be tested. This will give the voice flexibility and ease. The greater part of practice should be on a conversational key, but occasional practice in shouting tones will develop the voice rapidly. Many Speakers find their voices harsh and uncontrollable at the beginning of an address, but at the close the voice is in fine condition. Much annoyance may be avoided by practicing on different pitches of the voice for a half hour. The practice may be severe. Begin lightly and increase to shouting tones. The last part of the practice should also be moderate. This should be done one or two hours before the time for delivering the address.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elocution; Voice, Expression, Gesture: For Use in Colleges and Schools and by Private Students Eloquence holds the first rank among the arts. Rome bor rowed her eloquence from Greece, as she did her other arts and learning, till victorious Rome was herself sub dued by Greece. Aristotle's definition of oratory was, The power of saying on every subject Whatever can be found to persuade; Phocian's, The power to express the most sense in the fewest words; Quintilian calls it The power of persuading. The ancients uncovered as Cicero approached, and cried, Behold the Orator! While we award praise and glory to great musicians and painters, to great masters of sculpture and architecture, the prize of honor is decreed to great orators. Art is the expression of the beautiful in ideas. It is also the beautiful in action. Poets are born; orators are made.
