Expressive Voice Culture

Including

The Emerson System

By

JESSIE ELDRIDGE SOUTHWICK

Teacher of Voice Culture in the Emerson College of Oratory.



Preface

The Emerson System treats the voice as a natural reporter of the
individual, constantly emphasizing the tendency of the voice to express
appropriately any mental concept or state of feeling.

This treatise is a setting forth of methods and principles based upon this
idea with a fuller elaboration of the relation of technique to expression.
No attempt is here made, however, to present more than an individual
contribution to this broad subject.
