Pay Attention to These 3 Aspects to Recite Poetry

Reciting a poem is more than just reading it. The activity involves these 3 aspects to make it more alive and connect with the audience. These are the things you need to be aware of.

1. Your Understanding of the Poem

To give a powerful performance, you need to master your poem. You should understand the messages behind every line. Other than that, you must identify the tone and the voice of the poem so you know how to read it.

For example, you need to read slowly because the poem is sorrowful. Another example, you may have to read quickly with an energetic voice because the poem is cheerful. This is why understanding is important.

2. The Aspect of Body Language to Recite Poetry

In poetry-reading, you need to have a connection with the audience so their enjoyment of the poem will increase. That’s why you need to present the poem with a good posture. Yes, nervousness is inevitable sometimes. Sadly, no audience loves a nervous performer. So, try to relax and use appropriate body language only.

3. Clear Articulation and Confident Voice
