Of voice culture
Each voice mas a different dominant
note, that is. a note upon which all the
speaking sounds are based. From this
note every meditation and infection
Of the voice should be regulated.
Usually in an ordinary sentence, I'M
less the emotion is violent, the domi-
nant note is used at the commence
ment and different tones are afterward
employed through the different colors
OF sentence
Grief, hatred and enmity all have
distinct and varied rules for correct
intoning. Grief and deep emotion are
expressed in the minor key entirely.
Just as a song Of sorrowful cast is
written in a minor strain. In the ex-
clamation, ooh. my" said sadly, the
whole cromatic scale is employed for
a complete octave
On the other hand, Joy and convic-
ton are shown by the major key and
an ejaculation such as "Hurrah!" win

one major octave fro ma low note to
high one.
In a question the high note should
2ome at the point IN the sentence
when the query IS most pronounced;
