You can become a good reader with the help of the experience of professionals, the delivered voice and the appropriate intonation, special acting skills, as well as the principle of involvement, without which it is difficult to capture the attention of the audience.
Instructions
Step 1
Reading aloud should not be monotonous. This is a gross mistake of inexperienced speakers and readers, since such speech is not only not perceived by the audience, but also makes them bored or go about their business. To grab attention, pause and intonate the relevant portions of the text. Pay attention to punctuation marks - they are in the text just so that it is better perceived by ear. Notes in the margins will help you navigate the text more easily.
Step 2
One of the secrets of interesting reading is the effect of storytelling: as if you are not reading from the sheet, but telling what is written on it. To master this skill, you need to practice. Set aside 20 minutes daily if you want to become a good reader. For training, select the text that you like. Read it first to yourself, then out loud, understand the information received. Then break it down into several semantic parts, and then into even smaller fragments. After a few workouts, you will be able to finish the text, starting from the beginning of each phrase.
Step 3
Before reading aloud, it is necessary to prepare the articulation apparatus for work. To do this, you need a couple of tongue twisters, which are used by announcers on radio and television. This will help you navigate when pronouncing difficult words with combinations of hissing and sonorous sounds. For example, try several times without hesitation to say "The nervous Babylonian Barbara made the nervous Babylonian Babylon of Babylon nervous in Babylon" or "Coconuts cook coconut juice in a fast-cooker."
Step 4
If you're going to read aloud from a piece of fiction, pay attention to how professionals who dub radio plays and read audiobooks do it. Learn to highlight in your voice the lines of the characters and the words of the author. Be sure to take breaks not only between chapters, but also between paragraphs. Do not hurry. Give the listener an opportunity to imagine what the piece is about. This is easy to do: while reading, vividly and dynamically imagine the read sentence in your imagination. As long as you yourself do not assimilate what you are reading, the listener will also pass the information on deaf ear.
