Voice Culture
A Good Voice is your Birthright!
"Have you sold your birthright for a mess of pottage? Have you sacrificed
your God-given gift of song and speech to modern civilisation? Have you stifled your natural
instinct to sing? All great singers and speakers must have superbly developed and perfectly
controlled vocal organs in order to produce exquisite melodies - the magnetic tones that thrill
every person that hears them. They have this wonderful power because their hyoglossus muscles
and every other part of the vocal mechanism is completely developed and completely co-ordinated.
Caruso was the greatest of these super singers. He developed his vocal mechanism until he became
the greatest singer in the world. He made the most of his great gift of song. But he spent years
in building up the amazingly strong and wonderfully controlled hyoglossus muscle that was the
keystone of his fame. The physical structure of your throat is exactly the same as the throat of
Caruso or all the others of the world's greatest singers and speakers. The only difference is
that they were either born with or have acquired extraordinarily well-developed hyoglossus
muscles. If you cannot sing and sing well it is because you have allowed your gift to lie
dormant.
Do not repress the natural instinct to sing. Enrol in the Perfect Voice Institute. Physical
voice culture will develop your hyoglossus until your voice becomes a rare, beautiful
musical instrument on which you can play a wide range of rich notes. You will find these
exercises the foundation on which to build the perfect voice of your dreams. In just a few
months, your friends will be commenting on your lovely singing or speaking voice. When you
spend an evening with friends, you will be the centre of attraction. The man or woman who
has a beautiful voice is always socially popular. If you are a businessman or woman, a
doctor, a lawyer, a preacher, a nurse, or a teacher, you will find a strong, clear,
well-modulated voice one of your greatest assets. And there is a great place in America
today for the professional singer or speaker. Opera is gaining ever-increasing popularity
and financial support; the lecture platforms and concert halls are demanding more and more
trained speakers. If you will persevere, there is a place for you at the top. You cannot
reach it in a day, a week, a month; but real effort is always crowned with success." -
