Facial Expression and Mirror Practice. | < SOME TETRALZING By Mme. Getrazzini. IN studying a new role I am . in the habit of practising i #} in front of a mirror in order to get an idea of the effect of a facial expression and to jee that it does not take away from the correct position of the mouth. The young singer should practise constantly in front of a mirror as soon as she begins to sing songs, or to express emotions in her music. For the girl with the expressive face is likely to contort her mouth so that the correct emission of tones is impossible, The dramatic artist depends large- ly for his expression on the changing lines of the mouth, the chin and the jaw, and in any lines spoken which uenote command or will you will see the actor's jaw setting and becoming rigid with the rest of the facial mask. Now, a singer can never allow the facial expression to alter the posi- tion of the jaw or mouth. Facial expression for the singer must concern itself chiefly with the eyes and forehead. But the mouth must remain the same. And the jaw must ever be relaxed whether the song is cne of deep intensity or a merry scale of laughter. sufficient of the “appoggio” or enough The m in singing should always smile siig This slight smile at once Of the mouth resonance to sive ihe relaxes the lps, allowing them free tone a viial quality, This white voice should be thoroughly understood, and play for the words which they and the tongue must { and also gives the, 1s one of many shades of tone wh inger a slight sensation of uplift neces- @ singer can use at times.
