Voice Lesson Record by Mark Markoff, a noted Russian tenor and singing teacher to Hollywood stars
SEEMS like everyone is taking voice or singing lessons in Hollywood these days. In fact, vocal abilities are becoming so prominent that they jokingly tell you at one studio that a scenario writer, when recently applying for a position, was asked by force of habit how his voice was and if he could sing. Ruth Chatterton has been taking singing lessons from Mark Markoff for about three months. Mr. Markoff says Miss Chatterton has outstanding qualifications for an operatic career.

Method. After thirty years of singing and teaching, Mr. Markoff still retains a splendid voice. This, together with the outstanding success achieved with other voices, has proven to Mr. Markoff and many others that only ONE RIGHT METHOD EXISTS, which is CORRECT POSITION of the MOUTH, CORRECT BREATHING, and SUPPORT. In observing these simple rules all of the intricate details such as position of the tongue, open throat, tone forward, etc., expounded in other methods are automatically accomplished. Mr. Markoff, whose popularity as a singer and vocal instructor was unparalleled in Russia and other parts of Europe, was induced by American managers to come to the United States where he opened vocal studios in New York which attracted musical patrons and quickly became the center of musical art. Since coming to Los Angeles in 1929 under contract to Pathe Studios to teach Gloria Swanson to sing in the motion picture, "The Trespasser," in which her singing was a noted success, Mr. Markoff has established himself as one of the leading teachers of the singing art in Los Angeles.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
