80 THE ART OF SPEAKING AND READING.
Do not lose command of the voice, or mistake emotionalism for sentiment in endeavouring to make the voice and action respond to the feeling.
Do not over-emphasise or use too many or too large inflections, but be animated while the words of each phrase flow out deliberately.
Do not attempt to strain the voice even if the audience is very large, do not gasp, but regulate the breath and the volume of the voice, and discriminate between the main and the side arguments.
Do not waste too much time over the introduction, get to work quickly after firmly stating the object, build up the subject with good arguments, using the weakest first and the strongest last; appeal in the most direct way to the audience ; select suitable sentiments, clothe them with simple and effective language: be firm in attitude and gesture. |
