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]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: Excerpt from Voice Culture Made Easy Speech and song, viewed as studies, overlap, and each can help the other. Nearly everyone has to con verse daily (almost hourly), consequently the value of this book is not restricted to those who use, or desire to use, their voices in public. Nevertheless, I do hope it will be the means of encouraging many persons to make public use of their voices, although hitherto these persons may have used their voices in private only. My most fervent wish in writing the book is that it may help to clear away the mystery that has surrounded voice culture; and, if it does so, assuredly it will do something towards increasing the popularity of a study valuable from the standpoints of artistry, of business, professional, and social life, of health, and of happiness.

Download or read book This Is the Voice written by John Colapinto and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestselling writer explores what our unique sonic signature reveals about our species, our culture, and each one of us. Finally, a vital topic that has never had its own book gets its due. There’s no shortage of books about public speaking or language or song. But until now, there has been no book about the miracle that underlies them all—the human voice itself. And there are few writers who could take on this surprisingly vast topic with more artistry and expertise than John Colapinto. Beginning with the novel—and compelling—argument that our ability to speak is what made us the planet’s dominant species, he guides us from the voice’s beginnings in lungfish millions of years ago to its culmination in the talent of Pavoratti, Martin Luther King Jr., and Beyoncé—and each of us, every day. Along the way, he shows us why the voice is the most efficient, effective means of communication ever devised: it works in all directions, in all weathers, even in the dark, and it can be calibrated to reach one other person or thousands. He reveals why speech is the single most complex and intricate activity humans can perform. He travels up the Amazon to meet the Piraha, a reclusive tribe whose singular language, more musical than any other, can help us hear how melodic principles underpin every word we utter. He heads up to Harvard to see how professional voices are helped and healed, and he ventures out on the campaign trail to see how demagogues wield their voices as weapons. As far-reaching as this book is, much of the delight of reading it lies in how intimate it feels. Everything Colapinto tells us can be tested by our own lungs and mouths and ears and brains. He shows us that, for those who pay attention, the voice is an eloquent means of communicating not only what the speaker means, but also their mood, sexual preference, age, income, even psychological and physical illness. It overstates the case only slightly to say that anyone who talks, or sings, or listens will find a rich trove of thrills in This Is the Voice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Speak: Exercises in Voice Culture and Articulation Most of the excellent books on Voice Culture which have been published deal with the subject from the viewpoint of the singer. Our aim is to improve the speaking voice; therefore the emphasis is put on that side of the matter. In all the discussions and exercises relating to articulation work, the necessity for the right mental attitude of the speaker toward his audience has been stressed. The obligation to make himself heard, and a real sympathy with the audience, should be felt by everyone, whether he is speaking hi a large hall, a schoolroom or a drawing-room; and the majority of teachers recognize the importance of combining this feeling of responsibility with the mechanical drills. The foundation for the work outlined here is built, mainly, upon the technical courses at Emerson College of Oratory in Boston; and the writers experience in platform reading and teaching in grade work, as well as in teachers college classes, has proved the value of the practice involved. This book has been written in response to the request of many teachers in the public schools for a definite outline of work to develop the correct use of the voice and distinct articulation. It shows the logical order of the drills used every day in the Public Speaking classroom at the Rhode Island College of Education.

Download or read book Culture and Gender of Voice Pitch written by Ikuko Patricia Yuasa and published by Equinox Publishing (UK). This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major task of the book is a sociophonetic exploration of voice pitch characteristics of speakers across the cultures of Japan and America. This volume makes a cogent argument for the socio-cultural role of voice pitch in the expression of emotion and politeness and how culture and gender can intersect with each other. The book tenders acoustic phonetic evidence (as well as discourse analyses) in construing how an individual's voice pitch modulation utilized in conversational speech is reflected in this intersection as it demonstrates several methodological innovations crucial for sociophonetic research. Observations of people's voice pitch commonly made impressionistically not only contributed to this prosodic feature's perceptual stereotypes, but also inform us about our attitudes towards certain voice pitch characteristics. This volume includes an extensive review of these impressionistic remarks and acoustic phonetic investigations of voice pitch initiated in the early 20th century in the two nations, the latter of which contributed to both confirming and reconsidering the former. The volume further alludes to how attitudinal differences between these cultures were found to surface in the acoustically measured voice pitch modulation patterns obtained for this volume, stressing that voice pitch is capable of revealing various socio-cultural aspects of human behaviors.
