TRAINING THE VOICE.

The Speaking Voice: Principles of Train
ing Simplified and Condensed, By Kath-
crime Jewell EVerts. Published by
Harper s. Brothers. New York.
This book is aimed to be an improve
ment upon all previous publications Of
the kind. The author Golfers method
of voice training which is the result of
a deliberate effort to simplify and con-
dense, for general use, the principles
which are fundamental to all organized
systems Of vocal instruction" 1t con-
tains practical directions accompanied
by simple and fundamental exercises,
first for the training Of the voice, and
then for developing it when trained.
The body of the work carries out faith
fully the promise thus made by the
author in her preliminary words, and
it enforces the same with exercises,
with extracts, and with drills of vari-
Gus kinds, We should suppose that
those desiring to use their voices pro-
fessionally would be helped by familiar
acquaintance with this book. Tho
author is a well-known teacher of vocal
culture and doubtless her directions are
well worth following.
