What reading level is The Essentials of Elocution By Alfred Ayres Pseud book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" He that reads really well utters the words with the care that the musician exercises in playing or singing. " I occasionally meet a person who seems to think that the exercise of the intelligence in reading is fatal to what an actor I met, a day or two ago, called spontaneity, by which I understood him to mean naturalness. He seemed to incline strongly to the opinion that emphasis, pause, and inflection are matters of little importance, and that a reader is likely to be stilted and non- natur...al in proportion to the extent he allows himself to consider the question of technique. All that is necessary, according to these people, if I under- stand them, is to know the words and to speak them with earnestness. If they are right, then reading is only a matter of memory and unction; in OF ELOCUTION.
135 other words, of memory and unguided fuss and fury. To these people, who are commonly actors (self-declared), I would say, with as much respect as I can muster for the occasion, that if they would but give half as much time to the learning of their business, as the average chorus-singer or clog-dancer gives to learning his, they might possi- bly modify their opinion with regard to the value of study.
