Characteristics of poetry recitation

There are various genres of recitation, and poetry, prose, fable, story, novel and drama can all be classified as recitation. Among many genres, poetry is the most widely used in recitation, because it has the characteristics of strong emotion, rich rhythm, strong literariness, wide spread and far-reaching influence, and is especially suitable for artistic creation with sound language. Poetry recitation is an art, which needs feelings. We can express our feelings by mastering the rhythm, height and urgency of poetry language. The artistic charm of poetry recitation stems from its characteristics. Understanding its characteristics is conducive to deepening the understanding of recitation, especially poetry recitation.

(A) the nature of the voice

One of the most important features of poetry recitation is its phonology, which is also one of the important features of all recitation arts. Recitation is an artistic creation that transforms literary works into audio language. In this process, no matter how profound the reader's understanding of the ideological connotation of written works is, no matter how exquisite his overall design of recitation is, it is mainly reflected in the expression of audio language, and then in the reader's language and voice. Because the audience expressed through the vocal language of the reciter, they accepted the ideological connotation of the written works, understood the artistic accomplishment of the reciter and appreciated the artistic charm of the written works. Here, audio language has almost become the only carrier of poetic art. Therefore, as long as you have profound thoughts and strong emotions, you can recite a good poem, which is not true. Voice mainly refers to the voice of reciting poetry. An excellent recitation artist always keeps training his voice, and even has the experience that as soon as he opens his mouth, the audience will be immediately attracted by his magnetic and pleasant voice. Although sound is not the whole of poetry, it has its own independent significance and is an important factor to enhance the artistic charm of poetry reading. Therefore, in the process of poetry reading training, vocal music training is not only a basic work-it is a necessary condition for poetry reading, but also a running work-it restricts the improvement of poetry reading level.

(2) Normality

The normality is mainly manifested in reading the selected written works and the language used. Generally speaking, the literary works selected in recitation are standardized, and the ideological content and language form are mostly carefully thought out by the author. On the other hand, it is required to read poems in Mandarin. Up to now, most of the poems you have heard are recited in Mandarin, and their standard pronunciation, standardized vocabulary and grammar are familiar to most listeners and can be understood and accepted by the public. At the same time, this standard pronunciation can best reflect the characteristics of poetry cadence and flat rhythm, and can best show the artistic charm of poetry recitation.

(3) Literariness

Recitation is different from everyday speech, mainly reflected in its literariness. When people speak in their daily lives, the topics involved are varied and the state of speaking is also very relaxed. Thoughts can be continuous, jumping, complete and fragmented, as long as the purpose of exchanging ideas can be achieved. Reciting is different. Generally speaking, the theme of his works is relatively concentrated, with certain ideological significance, full of emotion and delicate writing; When reciting, we should deeply understand the written works, mobilize our own thoughts and feelings, and express them in expressive and infectious audio language. Whether it is a written work or a recitation creation, it has a very distinctive literariness. People are very strict and serious when choosing literary works to recite, and have very high requirements on their themes, ideas, words and sentences. Facts have also proved that the artistic level of written works greatly affects the artistic charm of recitation.

(4) artistry

Reciting is different from the language expression of spreading information such as news broadcast. When people spread information, it is mainly to make things clear. Therefore, they often use the simplest language expression to transform the written language. Pronunciation, sound length, sound intensity, timbre, tone and rhythm are all limited to a certain range, and its simplicity and realism are extremely important. Reciting is different. Because of its on-site requirements, the use of sound in recitation has its special requirements. Because of its strong feelings, the tone and rhythm change relatively greatly when reading aloud; Because of the characteristics of its voice, the reciter is required to enhance the expressive force and appeal of his language through training, and so on. These requirements all reflect the artistic characteristics of poetry reading.

(5) comprehensiveness

The art of recitation is a comprehensive art, which requires not only a high artistic level of the written works on which recitation is based, but also a strong understanding and sensibility of the written works, as well as the expressive force and appeal of spoken language, and sometimes the perfect cooperation of music, lighting, dance beauty and other factors. This requires not only the perfection of these factors themselves, but also the organic cooperation, mutual reflection and mutual promotion, neither showing weakness nor "stealing the show" from each other. Otherwise, the contrast between language and soundtrack is too great, and the content deviates from the style of tweed this year, which will affect the artistic effect of recitation works. In addition, the reciter should master some knowledge of psychology and communication, so as to effectively control his physical and mental state on the spot and let his thoughts and feelings really reach the hearts of the audience. Therefore, the artistic effect of recitation is the concentrated expression of the comprehensive quality of the reciter.

(6) Dependence

Generally speaking, recitation should be based on certain written works. Whether it is to understand the manuscript, arouse emotions, or use skills, the form is in the voice, all under the provisions of written works. The determination of the tone of the work, the intensity of emotion and the application of specific expression skills are all restricted by the written works. It is not worth the loss to leave the written works and play at will. In that case, the reciter will be in a state of no theme and the audience will be confused.

(7) Creativity

Creativity is dependence. Although recitation should be based on certain written works, it is by no means literal recitation, but the creation of real written works. It is impossible for written language to express all the author's ideas clearly. For this reason, the reciter should supplement the meanings hidden outside the text on the basis of in-depth understanding of the works; At the same time, it is impossible for a written work to reflect the proper tone of a sentence, which also depends on the reciter's use of vocal language expression skills to create; In addition, the vocal language expression of the reciter itself is a kind of creation. Beautiful voice and superb expression skills add color to written works to a certain extent, and the design of music, lighting and dance beauty makes recitation a creative activity.

(8) Appreciation

Poetry recitation is not an artistic form of high and low. Due to the high artistry of the work itself, the readers' own understanding and feelings in the creative process, and the readers' careful design and rehearsal of poetry recitation, supplemented by audio-visual and other artistic forms, poetry recitation can be loved by everyone with its characteristics of easy to understand, diverse forms and strong lyricism, no matter at large-scale literary evenings or special poetry recitation evenings. Nowadays, many art groups combine recitation with music, recitation with singing, recitation with performance, and create recitation concerts, poetry recitations and other forms, which strengthen the popularity of poetry recitation and make its appreciation more prominent.

(9) popularity

The artistic characteristics of poetry recitation do not affect the existence of its mass characteristics. In addition to endless artistic pursuit, recitation makes it easier for everyone to understand this art form, and everyone can master it to a certain extent. Recitation is a simple and adaptable art form, which is suitable for all ages, whether it is a personal performance or a collective cooperation. Whether it is a professional performance group or an amateur recitation lover, they can recite at any time and place. In addition, this art form is easily accepted by everyone, which is also a manifestation of its popular characteristics.
