Reciting skills
1) Imagine yourself as the protagonist in the poem.
2) Practice repeatedly in front of the mirror.
3) After recording with a camera or mobile phone, the key point of studying shortcomings is that people must go in, and you are not just reciting.
Preparation requirements before poetry reading
I. Selection of Works
Friends who have participated in the recitation have this feeling. It takes a lot of effort to go to the stage to recite, but what bothers the reciter more is the choice of works in the preparation of poetry recitation. Some reciters often spend several times as much time as fluent training to choose works. Even so, they may not find the works that are most suitable for their recitation. At the same time, people will feel that good recitation works can make the reciter achieve twice the result with half the effort when reciting. Therefore, the choice of works has become an extremely important part in the preparation of poetry reading.
Many recitation artists believe that recitation skills should have the characteristics of action, visualization and musicality, and the premise is that poetry works should be able to provide such creative space, stimulate the reader's creative desire, and be suitable for transforming into audio language. To this end, we should pay attention to the following points when selecting works:
(A) the theme is attractive
Introducing the theme is the primary task of choosing reciting.
To put it simply, the attraction of the theme is to make the reciter feel the necessity and impulse of creation as soon as he sees the poem. It can attract readers to understand the text with creative desire, stimulate inner feelings, decide reading forms and try to figure out reading skills. In short, attractive themes will lead readers to complete the whole process of poetry reading in a state of passion.
The theme is attractive, and the theme of poetry should be valuable. There are a large number of timely works, some random works with unclear themes, and some mediocre works that lack aura despite repeated scrutiny. Even a famous poet can't guarantee that every poem of his will be loved by everyone. Of course, such a poem cannot be chosen as recitation. Some poems are attractive in terms of topics and have distinct themes, which makes the reciter have the desire to create when he sees them.
The theme is attractive, and the poetry should be consistent with the reading occasion. Many excellent poems are not suitable for reciting on any occasion. When choosing poems, we should pay attention to the actual situation of reading occasions, including the size of the reading venue, the number of listeners, age and education level. For example, Farewell to Cambridge is a beautiful modern free-form lyric poem, which is loved by many lovers of poetry reading, but if it is in a happy atmosphere, it is not suitable for public reading. For another example, love poetry is an important part of poetry, but it is not convenient to choose at the reading meeting organized by primary and secondary schools. Therefore, in daily life, we should reserve poems suitable for different occasions to meet the needs of different occasions.
The theme attracts people to read poems synchronously with the background of the times. The background of the times mentioned here includes both the background of poetry creation and the background of poetry recitation, and both should be taken into account. Here we should pay attention to the following issues: First of all, reciting poems is synchronized with the background of the times, which does not mean that we can only choose newly created works. Some poems have eternal themes, such as poems praising love, life and the universe, whether ancient poems or modern free poems. Secondly, you can also choose some poems with distinctive characteristics of the times, but when reciting, you should give them the meaning of the new era as much as possible. For example, when reciting today, we should encourage everyone to learn from Comrade Lei Feng's spirit, instead of just emphasizing concrete examples of helping others and being hard-working and simple. Thirdly, if possible, choose pottery music that can reflect the spirit and social features of the present era, so that it is easier for the reciter to understand the meaning of poetry, grasp the mentality of the audience and better control the reading scene.
