The recitation of poetry requires from the performer not only a good knowledge of the Russian language, but also the ability to convey to the listeners the feelings and thoughts of the author and his own emotions and experience.
Instructions
Step 1
Read the entire poem to yourself. Try to highlight the main lines in it. Capture first impressions. Then read the poem aloud, think about where you stumble and why.
Step 2
Conduct a sound analysis of the text. If certain sounds are often found in the lines, perhaps the author wanted to convey them the state of nature or the persons about whom the narration is going. For example, a growl-like "p" sound indicates aggression or danger. In this case, it must be amplified with a voice to create a grotesque effect. The sound "sh" can convey the noise of the surf or wind, but in some texts it encourages the author to lower his voice. The vowels "y" and "y" can make reading melancholy, in this case it is important to observe the rhythm of the poem, otherwise you can lull yourself and the audience.
Step 3
Explore the semantic core of the poem. To do this, write out the most frequently used nouns and verbs. If they occur several times, then the author wanted to highlight them, otherwise he would have picked up synonyms. When reading, emphasize these words.
Step 4
Feel the author's mood. Try to mentally become a participant in the described events, experience them, think about what kind of emotions you could capture in this situation. Think about personal experiences such as physical pain, separation, rejected love. Convey emotions with voice, facial expressions and gestures. Feel free to be funny, rehearse in front of the mirror. Wringing your hands in silence may sound a little theatrical, but it will add extra heart-felt to the music of your poetry.
Step 5
Break the text into separate lines. Read them not as a verse, but as an ordinary sentence. Underline the main phrase of each line, try to highlight it with your voice.
Step 6
Observe the size and rhythm of the poem, they give completeness to the narrative.
