Four tips about reading a poem to an audience:
- Project to the audience. Capture the attention of everyone, including the people in the back row. However, don’t mistake yelling for good projection.
- Proceed at a fitting and natural pace. Avoid nervously rushing through the poem. Do not speak so slowly that the language sounds unnatural or awkward.
- With rhymed poems, be careful not to recite in a sing-song manner.
- Make sure you know how to pronounce every word in your poem. Articulate.
