It is important for every speaker so to train the vocal organs as to keep them in a healthful condition, that he may speak forth the words of life to the people. Everyone should become intelligent as to the most effective manner of using his God-given ability, and should practice what he learns. It is not necessary to talk in a loud voice or upon a high key; this does great injury to the speaker. Rapid talking destroys much of the effect of a discourse; for the words cannot be made so plain and distinct as if spoken more deliberately, giving the hearer time to take in the meaning of every word. {Ev 667.2}

For enhver taler er det således vigtigt at holde stemmeorganerne ved lige, som at holde dem i sund tilstand, så han kan tale livets ord til folk. Enhver bør have forstand på de bedste måder at bruge sine gudsgivne evner på, og bør praktisere det han lærer. Det er ikke nødvendigt at tale med høj stemme eller i højt leje; dette pådrager taleren stor skade. Hurtig tale ødelægger meget af prædikenens virkning; for ordene kan ikke gøres så tydelige og klare som hvis de siges med fuldt overlæg, giver tilhørerne tid til at tage meningen i ethvert ord.
