Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the art of expressive reading. Drawing on the work of influential figures like John Walker and James Rush, the author explores the history of elocution and its development, tracing the evolution of methods from the eighteenth century to the late nineteenth century. Examining the work of actors, educators, and elocution teachers, the author provides a framework for understanding the principles of expressive reading. The book delves into the importance of studying a piece's perspective, content, and form, and outlines methods for analyzing and memorizing text, including detailed instructions on pronunciation and vocal culture. The author then presents a four-step process for achieving expressive reading: getting the perspective, getting the details, drill, and criticism, ultimately emphasizing the importance of understanding the text before attempting to express it. This book is essential for anyone interested in the history of elocution and the practice of expressive reading, offering a clear, practical, and insightful approach to mastering the art of bringing words to life.
