What reading level is Elements of Public Speaking book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Function of tidal and complemental air. The air usu- ally taken into the lungs with a single breath is called tidal air, and for the purpose of supplying the body THE BREATH 119 with oxygen this tidal air is sufficient. But if a part of the air breathed is to be used for the purpose of produc- ing tone, more air is required, and this added amount is called complemental air. Now for purposes of speech, only the complemental air should be used. The tidal air should be held as a reserve in the lun
...gs. A very common fault of untrained speakers is an attempt to use this reserve air for purposes of vocalization, with the result that there is not sufficient breath to support the tones, and the speaker appears to be expending constantly nearly every ounce of energy. And then to compensate for the lack of the necessary breath, there is a severe straining of the muscles of the throat in an attempt to make the voice-box perform that function without the sufficient supply of breath. The speaker can continue for only a short time in this way until the constriction of the throat causes a harshness of the voice that is unpleasant, and often painful, to listen to.
