Many
really
good
teachers
differ
as
to
the
proper
methods
of
using
the
voice.
Although
there
may
be
a
reasonable
excuse
for
a
difference
on
some
of
the
minor
details
of
voice
culture,
yet
there
are
certain
fundamental
principles
upon
which
there
should
be
a
definite
agreement,
and
it
is
these
basic
principles
which
will
be
presented
in
the
book
to
which
I
have
just
referred.
At
all
events,
whether
or
not
you
desire
to
take
up
vocal
culture
in
a
serious
way,
at
least
you
should
make
it
a
point
to
sing
at
every
opportunity.
Break
forth
into
song
whenever
the
slightest
excuse
appears.
If
your
voice
is
harsh,
unpleasant
and
reminds
your
friends
of
a
carpenter
filing
a
saw,
do
not
be
discouraged.
Every
vocal
artist
had
to
make
a
beginning.
No
matter
how
bad
your
efforts
may
be
you
can
probably
recall
voices
that
are
still
worse.
Remember
also
that
all
voices
improve
with
training.
It
is
a
matter
of
common
agreement
among
instructors
that
anyone
who
possesses
a
speaking
voice
can
also
learn
to
sing.
Anyway,
at
the
worst,
your
hours
of
practice
can
be
so
arranged
as
to
avoid
annoying
other
people,
or
you
can
adopt
a
method
that
I
have
often
used.
For
instance,
when
you
are
on
a
train,
or
in
a
busy
centre
of
the
city
in
which
there
is
a
combination
of
noises
which
will
drown
your
own
voice,
you
can
then
sing
or
hum
to
your
heart's
content
without
annoying
others.
Remember
that
humming,
if
you
carry
it
out
with
sufficient
breath
to
produce
real
resonance,
is
practically
as
good
as
singing
for
the
training
of
the
voice.
