Voice and Personality in the Motion Pictures
The stylizing of many motion picture stars and the suppressing of their natural selves has reduced them to mere “fashion comers” and robbed them of their continued popular appeal. We have forgotten that a sincere emotional release is more important. Instead of this training in conventionalized deportment the artist needs instruction in coordinating the various bodily functions rhythmically for vocal production—and release of personality, for a close relation exists between physical obstructions to the free vocal production and psychological obstructions to the release of the personality. The motion picture engineer and the director would find it vastly to their advantage to know more of both the mechanics and psychology of vocal production.
