To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For this use of the voice in the special service ofwill-power, or propelling force, it is necessary first to test itsfreedom. This may be done by taking the humming tone and bringing to bearupon it a strong pressure of energy. If the tone sharpens under the strainit is not perfectly focused. If it remains mellow one may venture upon thenext step, which is to practise various vowel sounds and elements ofspeech with concentrated energy. The sense of bearing on to the voice, orendeavoring to push ...the tone by any pressure whatever, should beabsolutely avoided. Tone support should be carefully regarded. In order tosecure this a correct standing position must be held and the muscles aboutthe waist and the abdominal muscles must be firm and elastic. The chin is, in articulation, the pedal of power, and decision in theconscious action of the chin (not the jaw) will induce by reflex actionthat stroke which expresses well-aimed will-power. It may be noticed inconnection with this suggestion that when a person means what he says theaction of the chin is likely to be noticeably decided.
