The ideal voice is mellow, low enough to indicate depth of character, clear, pleasant, with an attractive, far from strident, carrying quality. It is attained through "focus" (correct placement), correct apportionment of chest and head resonance, and controlled bodily relaxation. Errors of enunciation are due in most cases to laziness. It is impossible to enunciate clearly when the mouth is hardly opened, the teeth shut, the lips barely moving, unless one has become proficient in ventriloquism. Although word sounds are not entirely formed by the lips, the lips must be mobile and help in the formation of syllables, especially consonants.
