Speech is external, and visible thought is the ambassadress of the
intellect.
* * * * *
How should the invisible be visible when the visible is so little so!
* * * * *
One cannot be too careful of his articulation. The initial consonant
should be articulated distinctly; the spirit of the word is contained in
it.
* * * * *
Two things to be observed in the consonant: its explosion and its
preparation. The _t, d, p,_ etc., keep us waiting; the _ch, v, j,_
prepare themselves, as: "_vvvenez_." The vocals _ne, me, re_ are
muffled.

_Rhythm_ is that which asserts; it is the form of movement.
_Melody_ is that which distinguishes.
_Harmony_ is that which conjoins.
* * * * *
Let your attitude, gesture and face foretell what you would make felt.
* * * * *
Be wary of the tremolo which many singers mistake for vibration.
* * * * *
If you cannot conquer your defect, make it beloved.
* * * * *
A movement should never be mixed with a facial twist.
* * * * *
Things that are said quietly should sing themselves in the utterance.
Part Sixth.
