The recitation of verses requires the performer not only good knowledge of the Russian language, but also the ability to convey to the listener the feelings and thoughts of the author and his own emotions and experience.
Instruction manual
1
Read the whole poem to yourself. Try to highlight the main lines in it. Record your first impressions. Then read the poem aloud, think about where you stumble and why.
2
Perform a sound analysis of the text. If certain sounds are often found in lines, perhaps the author wanted to convey by them the state of nature or the persons about whom the story is being told. For example, a “p” sound like a growl indicates aggression or danger. In this case, it must be amplified by voice to create a grotesque effect. The sound "w" can transmit the sound of the surf or wind, but in some texts it pushes the author to lower his voice. Vowels "s" and "y" can make reading mournful, in this case it is important to observe the rhythm of the poem, otherwise you can lull yourself and listeners.
3
Explore the semantic core of the poem. To do this, write out the most commonly used nouns and verbs. If they meet several times, it means that the author wanted to highlight them, otherwise he would pick up synonyms. When reading, focus on these words.
4
Feel the mood of the author. Try to mentally become a participant in the described events, survive them, think about exactly what emotions you could capture in this situation. Remember your personal experience, for example, physical pain, separation, rejected love. Express emotions with voice, facial expressions and gestures. Feel free to be funny, rehearse in front of the mirror. Perhaps wringing your hands in silence looks too theatrical, but it will allow you to add additional notes to your music that come from your heart.
5
Break the text into separate lines. Read them not as a verse, but as a normal sentence. Emphasize the main phrase of each line, try to highlight it with a voice.
6
Observe the size and rhythm of the poem, it is they who complete the narrative.
