In no other form of expression do art and nature seem so closely identified as
in the art of singing. A perfect voice speaks so directly to the soul of the
hearer that all appearance of artfully prepared effect is absent. Every tone
sung by a consummate vocal artist seems to be poured forth freely and
spontaneously. There is no evidence of calculation, of carefully directed
effort, of attention to the workings of the voice, in the tones of a perfect
singer. Yet if the accepted idea of Voice Culture is correct, this semblance
of spontaneity in the use of the voice can result only from careful and
incessant attention to mechanical rules. That the voice must be managed or
handled in some way neither spontaneous nor instinctive, is the settled
conviction of almost every authority on the subject. All authorities believe
also that this manner of handling the voice must be acquired by every student
of singing, in the course of carefully directed study. This training in the
use of the voice is the most important feature of education in singing. Voice
Culture embraces a peculiar and distinct problem, that of the correct
management of the vocal organs. Vocal training has indeed come to be
considered synonymous with training in the correct use of the voice. Every
method of instruction in singing must contain as its most important element
some means for dealing with the problem of tone-production.
