	Judy Duchan's Short History of Speech Pathology
		Ebenezer Porter, was a teacher of elocution and rhetoric at Andover Theological Seminary in Massachusetts.
		He was interested in elocution as a vehicle for “homiletics, preaching and public prayer.” He found his seminary students to be lacking in their oratory and elocutionary abilities, so he wrote a textbook to be used with them and other students attending academic institutions to improve their speaking skills.
		Elocution books were written by Comstock and others to provide teachers with scientific information about the anatomy of speech as well as with practice and educational materials for improving their students’ speech and oral reading.

	Elocution And Public Speaking
		Elocution is for both adults and children who want to improve their voice, accent or public speaking.
		Elocution coaches can help with a wide variety of elocution and voice issues and cater for all ages from young children to business clients.
		Accordingly, we believe that paced elocution (eg a lesson a week) is infinitely more effective than intensive courses which do not allow the student time to naturalize to the new vocabulary, mouth/tongue positions and to apply the improved grammar and expanded vocabulary covered in the lessons.

		For Williams, “elocution” is the style in which a life (or an art) is presented, while “poetry” is the substance of that life (or art).
		“Elocution” focuses on the Self, either the Self of the artist or the Self of the audience; “poetry” focuses on others, on the greater perspective behind and beyond the Self, even on the eternal and infinite.
		Thus, elocution often leads to self-indulgence, while poetry often leads to “the four virtues, clarity, speed, humility, courage,” according to Stanhope (63).

		Lina's struggle with her elocution is merely another restatment by the film of her inability to sing.
		It is voice as song that is legitimated by the film, and Kathy's status as the 'right' girl for Don is established by the fact that she can sing.
		The severity of the elocution teacher is also appropriate as these classes are presented as a constraint of the voice, a (careful) speaking rather than (joyous) singing.

	The Art of Elocution.
		A sign of the times, which should be encouraging to all teachers of elocution, is the progress of woman in public affairs, and the consequent necessity that they should become proficient in public speaking.
		Elocution will not make women orators any more than it will make them actors; it can not confer brains, nor in a great measure impart that good taste which is the fragrance of the individual soul; but it can take that disordered instrument, the body, and tune it.
		Elocution takes her, and if it fulfills its duty that young woman is given freedom where she is constrained, grace wherein she is awkward, is taught to breathe instead of choking herself; she is not taught new or artificial habits, she is only taught to rid herself of false ones.

	About the Ellocution Guy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I made this annimated graphic based on illustrations from Gilbert Austin's Chironomia, an 1806 work that was Austin's treatise on "elocution," a method of rhetorical instruction important in Irish, English, and American universities from the late 18th century until the mid-19th century.
		Most of Austin's book presents his views and interpretations of other rhetoricians regarding elocution, but Chironomia is perhaps best known for these odd diagrams that were designed to teach the ideal posture for speaking in order to convey different pieces of information.
		I gave an MLA presentation a number of years ago on the subject of "popular elocution," and I keep intending to revise that work into a publishable article.

		‘Elocution’ is an accessible, original album that defies preconceptions and busts open the box in which Kela was previously confined.
