Excerpt from The Art of Elocution; Or Logical and Musical Reading and Declamation: With an Appendix, Containing a Copious Practice in Oratorical, Poetical, and Dramatic Reading and Recitation; The Whole Forming a Complete Speaker, Well Adapted to Private Pupils, Classes, and the Use of Schools
The work now offered to the Public is an enlargement and improvement, by the addition of much original matter, of the Author's previous publication, entitled "A Plain System of Elocution," which ran through two editions, but which is now so much improved upon as to induce the Author to change its name. The alterations and additions made to that System are the result of reflection, study, and of the experience gathered from an extensive practice as an instructor. The Author has great pleasure in acknowledging the valuable suggestions which he has received and adopted, from his father, John Vandenhoff, Esq., Professor of Elocution at the Royal Academy of Music in London. To Dr. Rush's Treatise on the Voice, the Author has had recourse for light on many of the niceties of the elementary sounds of our language; and gladly takes this opportunity of offering his humble tribute to the masterly analysis of the voice, its functions and capabilities, contained in that philosophical and eloquent work.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the theory and practice of elocution, and is divided into three main parts. The introduction sets the context by discussing the value of elocution, and goes on to examine the arguments, both for and against, the potential for teaching elocution as a systematic discipline. The second part of the book explores the elements of elocution itself, including articulation and pronunciation. Tables of articulation are included to assist in the facilitation of accuracy and refinement in both theory and practice. These are followed by a section on tone, in which the author provides detailed instruction on the application of the three main elements of vocal expression: tonics, sub-tonics and atonics. The final part of the book is composed of exercises and declamation, designed to provide the reader with practical experience in the art of elocution.
