Howard, Anna Kelsey

"The Canadian Elocutionist"

This is
your triumph,--it is my shame! Enjoy that triumph, but not in my sight. I
_was_ her betrayer--I _am_, her protector! Cross but her path--
one word of scorn, one look of insult--nay, but one quiver of that mocking
lip, and I will teach thee that bitter word thou hast graven eternally in
this heart--_Repentance!_
BEAUSEANT. His Highness is most grandiloquent.
MELNOTTE. Highness me no more! Beware! Remorse has made me a new being.
Away with you! There is danger in me. Away!
_Sir E. Bulwer Lytton._
4.
Up, comrades, up!--in Rokeby's halls,
Ne'er be it said our courage falls!
_Sir Walter Scott._
5.
To arms! To arms!! a thousand voices cried.
6.
The combat _deepens!_ On ye _brave!_
Who rush to _glory_ or the _grave_.
_Campbell._
7.
Charcoal! Charcoal! Charcoal!
8.
Hurrah! Hurrah!! Hurrah!!!
LOW PITCH.
Low Pitch is used to express grave, grand, solemn, and reverential
feelings, and is very effective in reading.
To obtain a good control of the voice in Low Pitch, first practice the
examples given under the High Pitch, until you are fatigued, then after
resting the lungs and vocal organs, practice the lowest and deepest tone
you can command, giving, however, a full clear and resonant sound.
