Study Notes

Choreography

  • Movement is not a necessary component of a speech choir.
  • Many choirs simply stand still with their hands at their sides.
  • Elaborate choreography is a part of speech choir's rich history.

Costume

  • Costumes can range from simple matching outfits to elaborate theatrical garb.
  • Plain uniforms let audiences focus on facial expressions and allow for multiple pieces in one performance.
  • Themed costumes highlight a piece's meaning or differentiate voice groups.

Voice Quality

  • Blending light, medium, and dark voices is important.
  • Communicating through voice and reacting to thoughts and emotions is crucial.

Number of Voices

  • Adding or subtracting vocal sections, smaller groups, or solo speakers can enhance the message.
  • Controlling the power or richness of the sound to better express the meaning is a key technique.

Pitch

  • Pitch refers to the variations of voice on the musical scale.
  • Also known as inflection.

Power

  • Volume, force, or loudness are used for emphasis at appropriate times.
  • Used to express feeling and meaning.

Phrasing and Rhythm

  • Phrasing and rhythm reinforce each other.

Tempo

  • Tempo is the rate of speed at which a reading progresses.
  • Balancing a piece's rhythm and the performance's tempo is crucial for success.
  • Relates to the central "beat" of the poem.

Staging

  • Organizing and positioning the choir on stage or risers maximizes performance impact.
  • Staging entrances and exits enhance the poem's mood and the overall performance.
