DISCUSSION: What is Speech Choir? Definitions of Speech Choir  Speech Choir or choral speaking has a hallowed and proud tradition.  The first plays put on by Greeks featured choruses of speakers.  Today, speech choir is a popular teaching tool, as well as a performing art in itself.  Speech choir operates like music choirs minus the music. Instead of singing, speech choirs perform spoken-word pieces.  Speech Choirs are performance group that recite speeches in unison, often with elements of choreography and costuming to help bring the speech to life.  A speech choir is a powerful art that is experiencing a revival. There is tremendous satisfaction that comes from learning to speak well, and even a greater enjoyment that comes from speaking elegantly and powerfully as a group. A speech choir is a powerful art that is experiencing a revival. There is tremendous satisfaction that comes from learning to speak well, and even a greater enjoyment that comes from speaking elegantly and powerfully as a group. The abilities and techniques you will learn as a member of a speech choir will become an asset in your social life. Your words become better understood, richer, and more significant than daily speech. In the book, Choral Speaking and the Verse Choir, Kingsley Povenmire offers this definition of the choir itself: "A verse chair is a group of people experiencing together, expressing thoughts and feelings largely and freely for the purpose of communicating with each other and an audience, being led by a director and adapting themselves to the disciplines of the art of group oral interpretation." 2

Members  A speech choir is typically the same size as a singing choir having anywhere from 12-100 members or more.  More schools and competitions feature choirs of 25 to 40 members. 2. Pieces  Selections are typically poems or poetic passage such as from Greek dramas or Shakespeare's plays. 3. Choreography  It is not a necessary component for a speech choir. However, in the Greek tradition, speech choirs marched from side to side in alternating patterns called "strophe" and "aristrophe". 4. Costuming  As with any performance art, thought should be put into how the speech choir will dress.  Costumes can be as simple as matching outfits or robes.  Plain uniforms allow the audience to concentrate on facial expressions and allow the choir to recite several very different pieces in one performance. However, a theme costume for a single piece can highlight its meaning or help to differentiate between voice groups. 5. Voice quality  The ability to combine successfully the light, medium, and dark voices in the choir.  The ability to communicate, through voice, reactions to thoughts or emotions. 6. Pitch  It refers to the variations of the voice on the musical scale is generally referred to as infection. 7. Power  Ability to use volume, force or loudness as emphasis in appropriate places to better express feeling and meaning. 8. Tempo  It refers to the rate of speed at which a reading progresses. The ability to balance the rhythm 9. Staging  The ability to successfully organized and position the choir on stage or risers for performance effect. The ability to stage entrances and exits which enhance the mood of the poem and performance. Things to remember in doin doing g Speech Choir a. Breathing The most important part of any performing art, from playing an instrument to acting in a play, is breath. While we breathe involuntarily all the time, many green performers forget to breathe while on stage. Mark your speech choir piece like a sheet of music, noting where it makes sense to take a breath, so you don't interrupt the word flow but have enough breath to make it through the line (punctuation marks are a good start). Breathing in performance links you with your whole group, calms your nerves, and gives your performance life. b. Articulation and Diction The audience wants to hear what you have to say. If you don't articulate, all they will hear is a bunch of mush. By practicing your articulation and diction, your words will be clear and vibrant. Say every sound of a word, paying special attention to the beginning and ending letters. Strive to make every word lucid and colorful. Diction is a learned skill; articulate strongly in rehearsal and in your everyday life. People will notice how well you command language.

c. Connection to the group A speech choir is a living organism made up on individuals, never forget that. You aren't performing a monologue; you are a part of a group performance. Onstage, the choir is your family. The best speech choir performances are presented by groups that are in sync with each other. Listen to those around you. Connecting with them will eliminate any stage fright. If anything unexpected happens (someone forgets a line, a light falls from the rafters), the group must respond and correct together. d. The Text The text is your guide; it's what the audience came to see and hear you perform. In rehearsal, commit your lines to memory (even if you are provided with the piece onstage). Performing the text requires you to know the text inside and out. Once you know what you are saying, add color and meaning to the words. Let the audience "see" what you are saying. Let your personal reaction to the words sprinkle meaning on the performance. To be able to present a g good ood speech choir choir,, keep in mind the following: Learn the pronunciation of a word. Simply use a dictionary that has a pronunciation guide. Refer to its pronunciation key which you can find on its introductory pages to determine how a word is pronounced. See to it that you have double-checked its pronunciation in the dictionary or the web. 2. Learn the Stress and intonation intonation. Things such as rising intonation and falling intonation are crucial in speech choir. Which word to be stressed depends also on your intended meaning? 3. A good number for speech choir is 40 members. But you can have 20-25 participants if so desired. 4. The contest piece is often a poem. 5. Divide the participants into three voices: light, medium and dark. Light voices are often chosen from the (younger females). Medium are also females with deep voices (elder). Dark are of course only males with very deep voices. There should also be a solo for each voice: solo light, solo medium and solo dark. 6. Arran Arrange ge the contest piece before giving it to your participants. This means that you have already assigned parts for each voice, for the solo and for the unison (meaning all three voices). Keep in mind though that even if all three voices speak together but their voices should be clearly distinct from each other. This is called blending. 7. Memorize the piece piece. 8. Drill into your participants to feel the piece. Their facial expression should reflect what they are speaking. Facial expressions can’t be taught. It should come from within. It should not look artificial but should come from their hearts. 9. Deliver with the intent to be understood; hence, for conventional speech choir, actions and props are unnecessary. Simply standing with hands on their sides is enough. What counts are the voice and the facial expression? Remember the audience should understand what you are talking about. 10. The conductor may stand at the back of the judges. He may conduct in any manner he wants as long as he is able to guide his participants for an effective speech choir presentation. 11. Speech choir participants should only look at the conductor the whole time of their presentation. They should not fidget or make unnecessary moves throughout their delivery. Nevertheless they should not be standing tensed in front of the crowd but relaxed. 1.

Gestures differ from other types of body communication such as purely expressive displays, as they generally carry a greater association with language and speech and usually have specific linguistic content. There are sev several eral ttypes ypes of hand gestures, which are commonly used. a. Iconic- Iconic gestures, also referred to as illustrators, are descriptive gestures often used to illustrate speech, much like painting a picture with the hands. These types of gestures are useful for demonstrating a second viewpoint and adding details to an image a person is conveying, without any accompanying speech. b. Deictic- Deictic gestures locate the space in between a narrator and a listener after the narrator introduces a physical or nonphysical entity into the conversation and then repeatedly refers to the entity. d.

Metaphoric - Metaphoric gestures, or representational What makes an effective speech gestures, are beneficial when explaining an idea without any choir? _______________________ physical form, with specific shapes such as waving of the _____________________________ hands or pinching with the fingers. The accompanying _____________________________ narration generally will not have a productive metaphor, as the gestures will represent the implied metaphor. Let your audience SEE, what you are SAYING. Let your PERSONAL REACTION to the WORDS SPRINKLE MEANING on the performance. Key W Words ords Speech choir operates like a musical choir, minus the music. Instead of singing, speech choirs perform spoken-word pieces, like poems. Speech choir requires technical skills that must be honed and remembered in both rehearsal and performance.

CONCEPT DIGEST Speech choir allows students to recite a verse, story or rhyme in unison with elements of choreography. Through this speech choir experience where children perform as a group, it helps to bring the text alive for the children. as they perform it as a group. A Speech Choir opens up the avenue of the arts to those who feel that they do not have the vocal ability to sing in a music choir, and gives them the same great satisfaction of becoming a part of the arts. It is an exciting addition to any worship service! GENERALIZA GENERALIZATION: TION: Self Self-assessment: -assessment: A.
