Talks on Singing
III. Tone Emission and Attack.
By LUISA TETRAZZINI
,
COPYRIGHT 1900 RV AMPRICAN PRHSS ASSOCIATION
my first tnlk I aalcl n few
IN words , hut not half enough , on
the subject of l > r th control
My fle , end talk was the physl
ologlcnl aspect of the throat , he id and
tongue , for It Is necessary to become
thoroughly acquainted with lh < ? mech
anism with which you mo to woik be *
foic you can i pally slug Today I'm
going to take up the subject of tone
emission and the1 attack
A gieat many singers suffer from
the defect called "throntlness" of the
emission thit Is to say , they attacker
or Ntmt the note In the tin oat Sooner
or later this attack will inln the most
beautiful vokc. As I have said befoie
me attack ot the note must come Horn
the npogglo , or bieatli piop Hut to
have the attack pine and perfectly In
tune you must have the tlnoat entirely-
open , for It Is useless to try to sing
If the tin out Is not sulllclently open to
let the sound pass freely Throaty
tones or pinched tones ore tones which
me trying to force themselves through
a half closed throat blocked either by
Insulllclcnt opening of the larynx or by
atoppage of the throat passage , due to
he root of the tongue being forced
down mid back too hard or possibly tea
a low , soft palate.
In older to have the threat perfectly
open It Is necessary to have the jaw
absolutely relaxed.
I have found In studying different
nationalities that It Is fairly easy for
the French and Spanish people to learn
this iclaxatlon of Jaw and the opening
of the throat , but the English speaking
people generally talk with the throat ;
half shut and even talk through half
shut teeth Some time when you are
talking rapidly suddenly put your hand
up to your jaw. You vv 111 find that H
Is stiff ; that the muscles beneath It
( tongue muscles ) are tight nnd hard ;
that the Jaw seldom goes down very
far In pronouncing any of the English
words , whereas in singing the jaw
should be absolutely relaxed , going
down and back Just ns far ns It can
with ease.
The jaw Is attached to the skull
right beneath the temples In front of
the ears Ry placing your two fingeis
there and dropping the Jaw you will
find that n space between the skull
and jaw glows as the jaw drops.
In singing this space must be ns
wide ns Is possible , for that Indicates
that the jaw Is dropped down , glv Ing
Its aid to the opening at the back of
the throat. It will help the beginner
sometimes to do simple relaxing exer
cises , feeling the Jaw drop with the
fingers. It must diop down , and it is
not necessary to open the mouth wide ,
because the Jaw is relaxed to Its ut
most
Ilowrver , for a beginner it Is as well
to practice opening the mouth wide ,
being sine to lower the jaw nt the
back. Do this many times a day with
out emitting any sound merely to get
the feeling of what an open throat Is
really like. You will presently begin
to yawn after you have done the exer
cise n couple of times In yawning erIn
In starting to drink a sip of water the
throat Is widely open , and the sensa
tion Is n correct one , which the singer
must study to reproduce.
I have noticed a gieat many actors
nnd actresses In America who speak
with Jaws tightly closed , or nt least
closed to such an extent that only the
smallest emission of breath is possi
ble. Such a voice production will nev
er allow the actor to express any vary
ing degree of emotion and will also
completely eradicate any natural beau
ty of tone which the voice may have.
However , this Is a fault which can
easily be overcome by practicing this
dally relaxation of the Jaw and al
ways when .singing breathing ns if the
Jaw hung perfectly loose , or , better
still , as If you bad none at all. When
you can see a vocalist pushing on the
Jaw you can bo perfectly certain that
the tone she Is emitting nt that mo
ment Is a forced note and that the
whole vocal apparatus Is being tor
tured to create what is probably not a
pleasant noise.
Any kind of mental distress will
cause the Jaw to stiffen nnd will have
an Immediate effect upon the vol < e
This Is one of the reasons why n sing
er must Irani to control her emotions
nnd must not subject herself to any
harrowing experiences , even such as
watching n sensational spectacle , be
fore she Is going to sing. Fear , worry-
fright , stage as well as other kind nets
the Jaw. So docs too great a detcrml
nation to succeed A singer's mind
must control all of her feelings If It Is
going to control her voice. She must
be able even to .surmount a feeling of
Illness or stage fright and to control
licr vocal apparatus as well as her
liieath , no matter what happens.
The singer should feel a * If her Jaw
were detached and falling away from
her face. As one great singer ex-
pipsses It "You should have the jaw
of an Imbecile when emitting n tone.
In fact you shouldn't know that you
have one" Let us take the following
passage from "The Alarrlage of ri'ti-
ro" liv Mozart
- . ' - f'-f = !
= i a-l i-.Nf'i-
J Voi-cJ * fA-pt-tt-
Thls would make an excellent exer
cteo for the Jaw. Sing only the vow
els , dropping the jaw as each one Is
attacked "o , eh , ah. " The o , of com so.
Is pronounced like the English o and
the I In vol like e. The o In cho Is pro
nounccd like the English n Sapetc Is
pronounced sahpatn. You now have
the vowels o , eo , a , ah , a. Open the
throat wide , drop tbe jaw and pro
nounce the tones on n note In the easi
est part of your voice.
Do not attack a note at the same
time that you me Inlmllng. That Is too
soon TnUc the breath tlnoii'h the
nose , of toursp , and give It an Instant
to nettle bofoie attacking the sound
In this way you will avoid the stiokc
of the glottis whhh Is caused by the
budden aid lintonlrolled emission of
the accumulated hi oath In attacking
a note the bieath must he dhected to
the focusing point on the palate , which
lies Just nl the cutlcal spot , dllVoient
for cnery tone. In attacking a note ,
howo\er , thete must be no piessuie on
this place1 , heuuibP If theie is the over
tones w 111 be unable to soar and bound
with the tone.
Prom the moment the note Is at
tacked the breath must How out with
It. It Is a good Idea to fool at llrst as
If one wore pulling out the bieath
This Is particularly good for the high
notes , on which a special stress must
be laid always to attack with the
breath and not to press or push with
the thront As long as the tone lasts
the gentle but uninterrupted outpour
ing of tlio btentli must continue be
hind It This bio.ith pressure Insures
the Htiength and , while holding the
note to the focusing point on the pnl-
ate , Insures Its pitch. In a general
way It CMII be snld that the medium
tones of the voice have their focusing
point In the middle part of the palate ,
the lower tones coming nenier to the
teeth to bo centiallzocl and the high
notes gh Ing the sensation of finding
their focusing point In the high aich
at the back of the mouth and going
out , as It were , through the crown of
the head.
The resonance In the head cavities la
soon perceived by those who are be
ginning to sing. Sometimes In produc
ing their first high notes young people
become nervous and Irritated when
singing high tones at the curious burst
ing In the head and cnrs. After n
short time , howcnor , this sensation Is
no longer an itiltntion , and the bingcr
can gauge In a way where his tones
are placed by getting a mental idc.i of
where the resonance to each articular
tone should be.
Hlgji notes with plenty of head U-
oration can only be obtained when the
head Is clear and the nasal cavities un
obstructed by mucous membrane or by
any of the depression which comes
from physlcnl or mental cause. The
best way to lose such depression Is to
practice. Piactlclng the long scale ,
being careful to use the different teg-
Istera , ns described later , will almost
Invariably even out the voice and clear
out the head If continued long enough
and will enable the singer to oveicome
nervous or mental depression ns well.
The different sensations In producing
the tone vary , accoicllnt ; to the com
parative height and depth. Heglnnlng
from the medium tones , the bingcr will
feel ns If each tone of the descending
scale weie being sung fnither outside
of the month , the \lbration hitting the
upper teeth as It goes out , whereas
with the ascending scale the vibrations
pass thtough the nasal cavities ,
through the cavity In the forehead and
up back Into the head , until one feels
as If the tone were being formed high
over the head at the back.
I want to say right here that when
ever the young singer feels uncom
fortable when singing he or she Is
singing Incorrectly.
In attacking the note on the breath ,
partlculnily In the high notes. It Is
quite possible that at Hrst the voice
will not respond. For n long time
merely an emission of breath or per
haps a little squeak on the high note
Is all that can be hoped for. If , how
ever , this Is continued , eventually the
head voice will be Joined to the breath ,
and n faint note will llnd utterance I
which with practice will develop until
It becomes mi easy and brilliant tone.
The reuson that the tone has not
been able to come forth Is because the
vocal apparatus cannot adjust Itself to
the needs of the vocal clients or be
cause they themselves have not accus
tomed themselves to respond to the
will of the singer and are too stiff to
perform their duty
The scale Is the greatest test of
voice production No opeia singer , no
concert flngei , who cannot sing n per
fect scale can be siild to be a tech
nician or to have achieved results In
her art Whether the voice be so
prano , mezzo or contralto , each note
should be perfect of Its kind and the
note of each register should partake
sufllclently of the quality of the next
register nbov e or below It In order not
to make the transition noticeable when
the voice ascends or descends the
scale This blondlnc of the rot'Ntora
Is obtained by the Intelligence of the
singer In mixing the different tone
qualities of the registers , using as aids
the various formations of the lips ,
month and throat and the over present
appoglo , without which no perfect
scale can be sung.
STILL TWO CENT FARE.
Nebraska Rate Will Remain Until
"Law Has Had a Fair Test. "
Omaha Hee : Railroads will not at
tempt to defeat the opeintion of the
2 cent passenger faro In Nebiaska , it
least not until the "law has had a fall
test "
This Is the epitome of several state
nients by ralhoad officials and attor
neys who decline to be directly quoted
as saying this. They admit , though ,
that the contest now pending In No-
hraskn will bo allowed to drag Itnclf
out In a perfunctory fashion and that
not oven the McPherson decision ,
knocking out the 2-cent law In Mis
souri , will stimulate action against the
law In Nebraska.
Judge W D Mcllugh repiesents the
ralhoads of Nolmiska In theli case In
the supio'iie couit against the cut
wl cli the loglslntuic made two yenis
ago In passenger and fieight nites
The case Is i mining Its course In the
supreme couit , font cnses having been
united Into one and Judge Mcllugh
was letalned to look after all The
cases aie those of the Mlssouil Pa
cific , the Union Pacltlc , tin1 Huillngton
and the Hock Island against the state
of Nebiaska et at lu theli petitions
the tallinads declaie the tales con-
llscatory and ask that the enfoicement
he enjoined.
No action has been taken by ( lie
inllioailH since the decision of Judge
Mcl'heison In the Mlssouil into case ,
the latest move Inning been taken by
the state Tuesday , when It filed Its an-
swet to the cioss bill of the lalhonds.
"We aie getting leady to take pioof
in the case , " said II. Jl l.ooml.-i , gc n-
eial solicitor of the Union 1'aclllc.
"Tlu case will go light along In Its
icgulai com so In the couits On the
decision of the Nolnaska case will
also depend the status of lalhoad
i ales in Kansas Theie was some talk
of calling an extia session of the legls
latin e a yeai ago to enact a 2 cent
passungei law theie , but the lalhcmds
made an agi cement to put the 2-
cent law In effect and to leave It In
pending the decision of the Nebiaska
case An attempt was made to enact
a 2-cent law at the piesent Kansas
leglslatuie , but It was tinned down
and the leglslatuie again deckled to
await the action of Nebiaska"
Mi Loomls says ho doubts If the de
cision in the McPherson case will
change the situation in Nebiaska to
any extent
J 13 Kelby , genetal solicitor of the
Huillngton , says the ralhoads have not
been making any attentions leslstance
to the 2 cent law in Nebraska , but
ically have agieed to give the law n.
fait trial without hindinnce , In the
meanwhile pteseivlng their lights in
court.

The News. Inclosed find check to
apply on subset IptIon. I can't com-
foitably get along without The Daily
News. We mo holding down a home
stead one and a half miles fiom ller-
tlck and ate happy In possessing a few
acies of t ncle Sam's ilcb and pio-
ductive domain When it comes evenIng -
Ing and wo aie all gatheied within our
little cottage which shuts out the
chilly winds and howling bll/.raids ,
toasting our shins mound the "Round
Oak Chief , " if your up to date and-a
little abend paper is not at hand to
toll us of the happenings in the gieat
world outside , a shade of sadness is
plain on the face of every member of
my household.
During the past week the good wife
and Charles , Jr. , seemed a seed cata
logue nnd began to plan for making
gaiden , but when we awoke this morn
ing and found the giound coveied
with snow and lots moie descending ,
gaiden talk was defetted to n more
suitable season , and we all began to
hustle mound mid get toady for an
other section of the Unlit of bllz7aids
which have been so active this winter.
These stotms are apparently cele
brating the opening of Tiipp county
and the good fortune of us fellows who
succeeded In getting settled on a good
piece of land in Gregory county If
this Is what the elements arc up to ,
it is no wonder they are lecord-
breakers for severity. No common
"blowout" would do the situation Jus
tice. It Is no slight privilege to be qn-
ablcd to withdraw from the trials and
tribulations , the perplexities and mix-
ups of a great avaricious world and
settle dovv on a homestead where
you can bo Isolated Just enough for
comfoit and bo permitted to enjoy life
on your own hook nnd take a rest.
One of the beautiful tilings connect
ed with fanning in this country is the
easy tilling of the soil ; and another ,
nnd the most Important , is the bounti
ful harvest. Good nutiitious grasses
abundantly abound , hence wo have ex
cellent pastures and lots of liny
Alany springs exist In rolling regions
and everywhere good , pure , healthful
water is easily available from wells ,
not deep Really the spilngtime
beauty of this country , with all of na
ture's provisions for decoiatlng it , is
scarcely descilbable To understand
it nnd enjoy it and to be Inspired by
it , one must peisonally behold it
This would ceitalnly be a fertile
field for the spiing poet. I now pai-
tlally undei stand how the author of
"Gentle Anne" got his inspiration.
Fearing my much speaking will tire
you I will close. As ever n ft lend to
yourself and paper.
