AMERICAN WOMEN* VOICES.
A Ym>| FetftUh Diplomat’* It. mark.
Offiwliliinilto illnwAin hwlwi iniiid
Igr a remark of a roan* diplomat boioof
tog to tho Mnmh flshcrfai cnmmfarion.
Ho mid that he mu much (thick with
the toefcti and phjraieal loveliness of
'American women, but that Waaramof
the harmonious waa jarred when they
■poke. "Englishwomen's to tonal inn u
musical, low, sympathetic, while Hint of
the typical daughter of America is ld;:h,
aomewlut harsh, and not grateful.’’ lie
added that to repose the American
woman is mote nttmetivo than tier
English deter; bat that the latter is more
agrecablo In con vers* lion.
* Throughout the debate which this
Candor Mt started their is no denial of
tho assertion that American women’s
roiccs are often disagreeable and . that
English women’s intonation is ntoro
. melodious. But there is no proper effort
to get at the causo of tho difference.
Thao is on error in admitting that tho
difference is duo to higher pitch to this
country than in England. Any ono who
hoa heard English women speaking with
total self-uiiconsciousness in their own
homes knows that they run to quite as
high a note as women of any other coun
try; and thnt. in proportion ns the spirit
Is amiable, tho voice rises as naturally in
tho gamut ns the thermometer ascends
when the Icy fetters loosen the mercury.
Miss Terry's voice is perfectly natural on
tho stage, and when she is not tragic it
is in a high key. Sontog was noted for
talking os "flutes lisp ami nightingales
warble,” and both are at their best in
high pitch.
Tho troiublo lies not In tho pitch, but in
the duality of voice. When Lear said of
Cordelia, "Her voice was over soft,
gentlo and low, an excellent tiling in
woman,” It was quality, not pitch, lie
correctly described." When Pctruchlo
says of Catherine, in “Taming of tho
Shrow,” "Think you a little din con
, daunt mine carH?" ho descrilies again tho
oft'ensivoness in woman’s voice, its noisi
ness, not its pitch. Chaucer know that
"small voices, sweet entuned." wero
"tho sweetest melody ho ever heard;”
aud onco again it is quality, not pitch,
that is referred to. It is undeniable that
in tho American air all voices are more
or loss roughened by tho catarrhal mala
dies, more disagreeable than dangerous.
We can count top easily the singers w«
have produced; and tho moment a voice
is discovered there is feverish anxiety to
get it out of ,tho country before our
winds crack it in the throat. Few sing
ers born or bred in Europo return, unless
in extraordinary cases of great laryngeal
pliability, with os even or suave a tonal
ity as they bring out here.
The voices thnt aro bred among us wo
do our best to destroy for musical qual
ity in cither singing or speaking by tho
elocutionary antics of our schools. In
England, except among those who are
latterly patrons. of tho public primary
scliribls, tuition outsido the home in
childhood is all but unknown. Tho gov-
• empss is a tradition os immovable" as tho
house of lords or the judges’ wigs. Tho
children study and recite in an ordinary
room. Tho "low’ voico is naturally and
sweetly developed. Iiocause tho lining of
the throat is not scraped by voice forcing.
When singing lessons begin the special
timbre of each voico is carefully watched;
and as rapidly ns indiontions M.iiico, it is
given t!v pi,'per education lor its natu
ral register, be thnt high, lowormedium.
Meanwhile we have forty children in a
lai'ge schoolroom; the teacher arranges
them in a row at tho rear, and stands
herself at the front of tho apartment,
nnd tiie child who reads loudest is tho
highest in order of merit. It is con
sidered particularly commendablo if the
entire class can read in concert louder
than any other entire class In nil tho com
petitive schools—competing for tho ruin
of individual voico quality. Tho romo
unscientific course is followed in music.
All sing the same register for years; all
ore urged to shout anil "holler’’ in school.
When they are of on ago to make lint Ho
with tiie climate in its ugly moods they
can already say, ns Falstaff did to tho
chief justice, nnd more truly: “For my
voice, 1 have lost it with holloaing nnd
singing of anthems.”
Doubtless, loo, mental coni|iosuru lias
much to do with tiie quality of tho voice.
Tiie eager of both sexes will shout or
scream. As the best conversers are also
the U’st listeners, the quality of voico
which goes so for to make a good con-
verser is instinctively low and sympa
thetic, Tho English girl learns in in
fancy that sho is to speak only when
spoken to; that sho is to reflect before
speaking, and when she speaks is to say
as little as possible that will antagonize
her lords and masters. The American
girl is accustomed from childhood to
speak on everything; to exercise spon
taneity, if not independence; and tho
vices resulting from the abuse of the good
ideas herein involved aro loud voice,
harsh quality, and speech, followed by re
flection, perhaps, but rarely preceded bjr
it. American girls, os a rule, aro poor
listeners. A dozen of thou will speak all
together, nnd tho highest pitch is often
reached in n competition to coerce atten
tion.
Aside from climatic influence, not
easily overcome, whoso effects, howover,
can lie imv:utoU, tho disagreeable quality
in American women’s voices is duo to
irrational throat gymnastics in childhood,
■nd to deficient mental composure to
maturity. —Chicago Times.
