Voice and Its Natural Development

Excerpt from Voice and Its Natural Development

In an age like the present, when earnest men and women are often debarred from public speaking or the advocacy of a great cause through lack of vocal power, through huskiness and other troubles that handicap a speaker from being convincing, it is believed that this handbook will form a valuable guide and help to a public speaker or singer, not only in assisting him to overcome physical defects that hamper his utterances, but in the management and control of the breath, without which the study of the Singing Art is futile.

The book is not written for the student who desires to build up his voice and imbue it with all those qualities so necessary to finished vocal development, nor for the teacher of elocution. It is not the author's intention to touch at all deeply upon the physiology or anatomy of the vocal organs, nor the moulding of the voice from its earliest stages to perfection.
