Van Baggen, in the breathing-exercises which he describes as beneficial for restoring a voice impaired by misuse, lays emphasis on the control of expiration and on the brief retention of the breath before exhaling it. In his first exercise the abdomen is pushed forward and contracted, the idea of breathing being excluded in order to concentrate attention upon making the movements correctly.
The same is true of the exercises given by Dr. Van Baggen to make the breathing-muscles coöperate with the articulation and vocal muscles. Nevertheless, since there are people who do not read carefully, or who go along in the same old faulty way until brought up suddenly by the dire effects of misusing the voice, I may add that Dr.
Van Baggen on the faulty use of these and the physical ills that result therefrom, since there are but few singers who do not know the difficulties which the registers of the voice offer; and many who spoil their voices forever by the misuse of those registers.
"To work two hours a day, either in study or in singing, seems to me a maximum that should not be overstepped by a person careful of his vocal health." Another distinguished foreign specialist is Dr. Clergyman's sore throat, as Dr. Van Baggen says, is a disease known to every throat specialist.
Poyet means the coördination of the three when he speaks of mixed costal and diaphragmatic breathing, and that Dr. Van Baggen also means this when he speaks of diaphragmatic breathing.
The spiritus asper is caused by a too slow contraction of the vocal cords and their too gradual approach for phonation. Dr. Van Baggen says that the vowel which is thus formed might be called an articulated vowel, which accurately describes the effect, the vowel being enunciated with the circumstance of the articulated consonant instead of with the ease of the phonated vowel.
