Excerpt from The Tone System in Public Speaking and Reading: A Discussion of the Sources of Effectiveness in Oral Expression and in the Teaching of Oral Expression, With Illustrations and Suggestions
This book is born of a desire to make plain and practical that which I believe to be the main source of effectiveness in delivery - the true expression of feeling. Constant observation has convinced me that the failure to speak naturally and well rarely arises from inability to grasp or express thought, but almost always from the inability to grasp or express feeling. By feeling, however, is not meant the emotional as when we speak of an emotional preacher, but earnestness, that certificate from the soul that the thought is genuine and that the speaker or reader is sincere.
It is unfortunate that this department of expression has in marked degree been ignored, and that thought in a confused or narrow sense has received almost sole consider ation. I believe this to be due, first, to the failure to perceive the universality of the symbols of emotion irrespective of the language in which the emotion is clothed, and, second, to the failure to perceive the scope and power of the principle of reference to experience.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the principles of effective public speaking and reading, proposing a practical method for enhancing vocal expression. The author argues that the rush or element system, which focuses on the isolated analysis of vocal elements, often leads to artificial and soulless delivery. In contrast, the subjective system, which emphasizes the speaker's contemplation of thought and feeling, can be insufficient for developing the necessary vocal responsiveness. The author introduces the tone principle, a comprehensive system that utilizes the full range of vocal symbols, including articulation, prominence, pause, and tone. These symbols are shown to possess universal and persistent qualities, making them highly effective in conveying states of feeling. By focusing on the realization and reproduction of these tone symbols, speakers can achieve naturalness, accuracy, and a complete expression of their individuality. This book provides a valuable resource for individuals seeking to master the art of vocal expression. It offers a clear and practical approach that empowers speakers to harness the power of tone symbols, enhancing their ability to connect with audiences and convey their messages with clarity, emotion, and impact.
