Book Synopsis English Diction for Singers and Speakers by : Louis Arthur Russell
Download or read book English Diction for Singers and Speakers written by Louis Arthur Russell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Diction for Singers and Speakers While this book is put forth by the author especially for the guidance of singers, it is also intended to meet the needs of public speakers, and, in fact, all who pretend to refined or artistic use of the English language. No one who listens to the average singer and public speaker can doubt the need of more careful culture in the art of enunciation; for the concert platform, the lyceum, and the pulpit are constantly giving evidence of a pitiful lack of appreciation of the orthoepic beauty and strength of our language. It is to the discredit of Americans that of all people pretending to art and literature, we are the most careless in our speech. If our American singers, to say nothing of public speakers, would realize the beauty of correct "speech," and study English diction as faithfully as they do their Italian, French, or German, it would not be long before a justifiable pride in our beautiful, varied, elastic, and powerful language would ensue, and a new era in vocal art be established here. To enter into a discussion of diction for singers and public speakers is a serious thing, and the author is well aware that no written treatment of the subject will prove sufficient for the student; the proper study of diction really requiring a personal instructor who is an expert orthoepist, as well as a singer. If then, in this essay a clear course be shown the student, that he can pursue his study of "language in song" with a better understanding of its many-sided difficulties, and with a true method of practice, the book will accomplish all that may be hoped for it.
