Principles Of Expressive Reading: Impression Before Expression (1918)

By Olaf Morgan Norlie

Book Overview

Principles of Expressive Reading: Impression Before Expression is a book written by Olaf Morgan Norlie and published in 1918. The book is a guide to the art of expressive reading, which involves conveying emotions and ideas through the spoken word. Norlie argues that before one can effectively express a text, one must first understand and internalize its meaning and emotional content. He provides practical advice on how to analyze a text, identify its key themes and emotions, and use vocal techniques to convey those emotions to an audience. Norlie also explores the role of body language and facial expressions in expressive reading, and provides exercises and examples to help readers improve their skills. The book is aimed at actors, public speakers, teachers, and anyone else interested in developing their ability to communicate effectively through reading aloud.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
