Excerpt from How to Breathe, Speak and Sing
The following pages are the substance of lectures I have delivered from time to time at various centres in London.
My object has been to set forth the main features of the Old Italian Method of voice production in relation more particularly to the study of the speaking voice, and to show that, whether for singing or elocution, the same preliminary training is necessary.
The "Old Italian Method" is a debatable term, and my meaning will be clearer when I say that I refer to the method taught by the late Francesco Lamperti, of Milan, by Mr. William Shakespeare, and by Mr. Edward Iles, of the Royal Academy of Music.
A desire to shed light in dark places, and by reference to its numerous advantages - artistic, hygienic, and therapeutic - to encourage people to apply themselves to the study of voice production has also contributed to the writing of this little work. A series of progressive exercises designed for the student will be found at the end of Chapters I, II, III, and VIII.
