Vocal Expression: A Class-book of Voice Training and Interpretation
by Katherine Jewell Everts
About the author
Katherine Jewell Everts is remembered for writing instructional books about speech and vocal expression, including Vocal Expression and The Speaking Voice. Surviving catalog and public-domain records show her as an author whose work focused on helping readers develop stronger, more expressive speaking voices.
Her books present voice training as something that can be learned step by step, with exercises, examples, and practical advice rather than abstract theory. That approach helped place her work within the tradition of early 20th-century elocution and dramatic interpretation, when spoken delivery was taught as both an art and a useful life skill.
Detailed biographical facts about her life are not easy to confirm from readily available reliable sources, so most of what remains visible today comes through her published works and library records. Even so, those books still give a clear sense of her aim: to make speaking and reading aloud more natural, confident, and expressive.
