Lessons in Elocution: Or a Selection of Pieces, in Prose and Verse, for the Improvement of Youth in Reading and Speaking (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book teaches the principles of elocution in multiple forms, both through spoken word and gesture, broadening its approach to encompass stage acting to enhance expressive communication. The book is written for teachers and students of elocution, as well as for actors. The author draws from the works of Cicero and Shakespeare, and includes selections from notable speeches and plays to illustrate his teachings. The author argues that effective delivery goes beyond memorizing words on a page and requires the speaker to connect with the intent and emotion behind them. He guides readers through exercises designed to build vocal strength and breath control, and gives instruction on the physical aspects of delivery, from maintaining good posture to using purposeful gestures. The book delves into the depths of vocal expression and physical embodiment, exploring how they combine to create an authentic and powerful performance.
