Book excerpt: The growing interest in the training of the speaking and singing voice which the general public has of late shown, would ensure any good text-book on the subject a hearty welcome. It is, therefore, with pleasure we call the attention of our readers to the this edition of Mr. Lunn's treatise on the voice. So much new matter has been added to the volume that in a sense it may be called a new book. To the profession, teacher and pupil, it should prove of great value, treating as it does subjects of importance and interest, and offering solutions to questions that have long been awaiting them. To all who are obliged to speak or sing much it will be of service. Voice production affects the pulpit, the platform, and the stage; the principles of restoration should be known to every National School teacher throughout the kingdom, and especially should they be known to every medical practitioner, for voice production embraces a far wider sphere than music, and penetrates where the latter never enters. br> This thought must frequently have occurred to many. Have the medical profession taken a full advantage of the preventive and curative qualities of voice culture with regard to diseases of the chest? Further, Is there not some need for legislation, when in the School Board Chronicle for March 3, 1900, we read, that there were in London alone 1,800 out of 3,000 teachers suffering from School Board laryngitis? Is this satisfactory either for the teacher or pupil? Moreover, some restraint is surely needed to check unqualified and incompetent people from practicing at the expense of their pupils, as serious damage to the throat is often the inevitable result. Though we are tempted to quote at length from the work, an enumeration of some of the subjects treated must suffice. There are chapters on The Infant Voice, Natural Physics of Voice, Roots of Vocal Art, Oratory, Aerial Foundation, Self-revealed Voice, Æsthetics of Voice, The Old School, Stammering and Stuttering, &c. Such subjects as breath control, the action of the ventricles, the registers, falsetto, difference between the male and female voice, are treated in an able manner, and will well repay careful reading. The author has evidently thought long and deeply over his subject, and in the theories he advances deserves a respectful hearing. At times he is somewhat severe with those who may hold different opinions, but this is no doubt due to his intense interest in his subject. We hope he will be able not only to give us the volume on the technical side of the art, which we understand is nearly ready, but also one treating the matter from the artistic side. The publishers deserve credit for their share in the work, which is well done. -The Month, Volume 97 [1901]

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Voice: Showing the Right and Wrong Action of Voice in Speech and Song; With Laws for Self-Culture A thrush perched at the top of an ash-tree in my garden begins pouring out its full ecstasy of song at daybreak, and, with slight intervals for refreshment, ends at sunset. This will go on for two months or so, without the slightest appearance of fatigue or the slightest sign of loss of tone in voice. This is the mode of voice-production that in the following treatise I have endeavoured to induce in human beings, and define its cause. A singular proof of the use of caverns as resonators multiplying sound is found in those birds whose voices are comparatively fixed, such as the common wild duck. There is no capacity of contraction or expansion as there is in us, for the space is bone, and hen birds have it not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. The following work, taught in connection with the "Art of Rendering," has been for a number of years given to pupils in notes, and is now published for the first time. The principles presented in the two books are not vain experiments, for results are manifest in the successful pupils who are filling places as teachers, preachers, readers, lecturers and entertainers. No claim is made to present some wonderful, new and original system, but both new and old that have been tested and found most helpful from Shoemaker, Emerson, Curry, Brown, Murdoch, Bush, Austin, Plumptre, Delsarte and others, are the sources from which this system is formed. In "The Science of Speech" and "The Art of Rendering" are given principles in the simplest, most concentrated form, which might easily be expanded into chapters. The statements are, as far as possible, shorn of philosophic argument, though there is abundant proof for their truthfulness. On account of brevity and so that the principles may be easily understood, no attention has been given to a fine style but, on the contrary, the matter has been treated with homely language and illustrations, with much given in outline, some thoughts even repeated. The "Laws" were arranged especially for a short course at a Chautauqua Summer School. They have since been found useful to busy people. In this work, which is the result of the author's careful investigations during many years, the unchangeable Laws of Voice and Action are developed step by step, formulated and taught. In this Natural Scientific Method of Voice Culture, Gesture, Enunciation, and Modulation the principle is "Not imitation, but strict conformity to the Laws of Speech, and these laws the only basis of criticism." In thus training the speaking voice, the Keynote is Emotion- Adaptation. This New Method, evolved out of old and new truth, is with confidence presented to the attention of all desirous of improving their vocal powers. It constitutes what might almost be termed an exact Science of Speech, based upon the facts: 1, that human utterance depends upon immutable laws and is not subject to the caprice of every speaker; 2, that imitation is not the faculty through which we should acquire knowledge of reading and speaking; and 3, that every person has as distinct an individuality of speech as of feature that should be carefully preserved, grafting upon it excellencies and pruning it of faults. It is an eminently practical system, with no abstruse philosophy and fanciful reasoning. "The Science of Speech" may be used for lessons one day a week in regular daily class work, in connection with the Steps in Rendering and other drill found in " The Art of Rendering" which should be taken up on the other four lesson days; or the two works may be adapted to suit the time for lessons in near this proportion.
