Expressive Voice Culture, Including the Emerson System

'Expressive Voice Culture, Including the Emerson System' is a non-fiction book written by Jessie Eldridge Southwick, who was an American elocutionist, intended to teach individuals how to speak using The Emerson System. It is said that the system treats the voice as a natural reporter of the individual, constantly emphasizing the tendency of the voice to express appropriately any mental concept or state of feeling. This treatise is a setting forth of methods and principles based upon this idea with a fuller elaboration of the relation of technique to expression.
