Print on Demand. This fascinating book invites readers to step into the classroom of renowned orator and author, R.C. Borden, as he shares his expertise in the art of vocal delivery and expressive speech. Borden's groundbreaking method, Painting Word Pictures, becomes the centerpiece of this guide, empowering readers with practical techniques to captivate audiences through dynamic and engaging speech. The author explores the historical significance of Borden's methodology, tracing its roots in ancient Greek and Roman oratory while drawing parallels to the transformative power of modern-day theater and film. Borden believed that the spoken word possesses the same evocative potential as visual art, painting vivid images in the minds of listeners. Throughout the book, Borden emphasizes the importance of developing a trained voice and ear, cultivating imaginative prowess, and understanding the nuances of pitch, volume, movement, accent, and emphasis. He guides readers through a series of exercises and examples, helping them master the art of vocal modulation to convey emotions, create suspense, and inspire action. Ultimately, this book reveals the profound impact that effective speech can have on personal expression, interpersonal communication, and public discourse. By embracing Borden's principles, readers will discover the transformative power of the spoken word, unlocking their potential as captivating storytellers and persuasive communicators. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

One of the first things to be learned in read ing or speaking is, How to breathe. Some may think this a matter of minor importance, but it has a vi tal bearing not only on our speech, but upon the whole physical system. Inhale always through the nostrils; never through the mouth.
The nostrils have a suitable lining for catching minute particles of dust, and other irritating mat ter found in the air, thus preventing it from enter. Ing the delicate air cells of the lungs, and laying the foundation of disease. Inbreathing through the mouth, this matter is not obstructed, and the mois ture that nature furnishes to keep the vocal organs flexible is dried up, and the consequence is hoarse ness, and disease of the vocal organs.
If you value health and a good voice. Breathe through the nostrils, 'make it a fixed habit.
The air is the great vitalizer of the whole system, and as it is free to all, use it not sparingly by filling only a part of the lungs at each inspiration, but fill them full, especially the lower air cells.
