RECITALS

I enjoy going to recitals and poetry readings. I'm struck by so many diverse styles. I study how the reader recites and draws me in. Are they relaxed? Clear? What mannerisms do they display? 

The readers are performers, making the words come alive through their physical and voice mannerisms. I use my hands and voice inflection when emphasizing a particular part of the piece. 

I haven't done any recitals in a few years but want to get back into it.
