BODY LANGUAGE
Intention—knowing the difference between casualness and relaxation
Both feet firmly planted on the floor
Placement of hands (never in pockets)
Body should be straight but not rigid
Approach to ambo—departure from ambo
VOCAL ELEMENTS
Voice quality
Slowness—slowly enough, loudly enough, clearly enough, directly enough
Breathing—diaphragm breathing as opposed to "from the neck up"
Mechanics—know your mike system—multi-directional...distance from...projection power...
ARTICULATION
Lazy speech
Dropping voice
EYE CONTACT
Timing important—more effective at the end of a thought or sentence
COPING WITH THE "UNEXPECTED"
Mikes
Mis-readings
ATTITUDE
A reader is a member of a team—not a soloist who is independent of the other elements in the ceremony
ORAL INTERPRETATION
—
READING AND COMMUNICATING
Sound intellectual and emotional understanding is of first importance. The reader is aware of:
WORDS that need emphasis
IDEAS that need to be given
PLACES where pauses are needed
PLACES where inflection is needed
A good reader is interested in his/her listeners. He/she forgets himself/herself and concentrates on "SELLING THE GOODS."
Read IDEAS, not words
Concentrate on MEANING
