Manual of Elocution: Embracing the Philosophy of Vocalization; With Illustrations and Exercises for Drill in All the Arts of Reading and Declamation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Manual of Elocution: Embracing the Philosophy of Vocalization; With Illustrations and Exercises for Drill in All the Arts of Reading and Declamation
The veteran and well-known elocutionist, Professor Bronson, left at his death a large quantity of manuscript, embracing matter on all the principles involved in voice-culture, reading, and speak ing. It was found, upon examination, that much condensation and arrangement of these papers were necessary. This has been a labor requiring time, care, and experience. The result is now before the public.
The pieces selected for readings, with the emphatic words and rhetorical pauses indicated, are culled from a large quantity thus prepared by him. Any person who attempts to describe accurately an action or vibratory movement of body or limb, in writing, will, realize to a small extent the difficulty an author experiences in attempting to convey on paper, in a comprehensible manner, an idea of the tones of the human voice - its force, its melody, its multiplicity of shades and intonations. It is some thing like an attempt to cage the wind. As the dancing-master can show by one movement of his foot what he could not fully explain in a dozen pages of a treatise, so the elocutionist in a few spoken words, or waves of voice, can elucidate a principle which many pages of printed matter could not make clear to the mind of his pupil.
And yet the necessity for the treatise remains - a Manual of Principles is demanded as a text-book for both teacher and pupil.
