To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If a speaker has the latter, he will not fail to acquire a good delivery, should he give delivery a thought. A man, to produce his voice well, must be physically fit ; in other words, he should be in " fighting form " on 57 On Production of Tone the platform. Voice production when pro- perly managed is an excellent tonic for both body and mind. A speaker should learn to stand steady (see Exercises L, II. , III. ) ; this, of course, does not mean that he should be unnaturally stiff; it means tha...t he should not slouch, but should carry himself in proof of man being the only upright animal. Here let us re- member that a man who has had the habit of stooping, slouching, or careless carriage, will feel stiff and awkward until he has ac- quired the habit of standing erect. No man should ever think of appearing on the platform or in the pulpit unless he determines to exert himself. Here let me remind the speaker that he must be ready to adapt himself to circum- stances. The quantity and length of vowel and the sense of the passage must determine whether he is to speak in a voice of thunder or in gentle tones.
