The requisites of a good delivery which, at first separately, and afterwards in union will, in the following Exercises, demand the efforts of the pupil, are 1. AN EXACT AND FIRM ARTICULATION. 2. A FULL UTTERANCE AND PROPER USE OF THE ACCENTS OR INFLECTIONS OF THE VOICE ES SENTIAL TO JUST MODULATION, 3, A VARIED AND SUITABLE ESPRESSION. The first of these constitutes a distinct delivery ; the second makes it significant; and the third, by adding manner, earnestness, and feeling, renders it impressive. The art of Reading, by means of which Elocution or Delivery is improved, naturally divides itself, as is shown in “ The Theory of Elocution,” into the four following states: 1. MECHANICAL READING, OR PRONUNCIATION. 2. SIGNIFICANT READING, OR READING STRICTLY SO CALLED. 3. IMPASSIONED READING, OR SPEAKING. [4. Dramatic Reading, or Acting.) B |
