How To Read A Poem Aloud: Full workshop: https://youtu.be/Pb_LH5EL0jIWhether you are a page poet, a stage poet, an academic poet, or a spoken word artist, contrast is the ingredient to transform your reading from ordinary into an unforgettable experience for your audience. Contrast involves changing aspects of your speech and voice to break patterns, disrupt, and constantly retain the focus of your audience in a way that sounds much more natural than most performances you encounter at open mics, featured, readings, and shows. Let's explore how to use our voice to its fullest to better serve the poems we read aloudThanks to Mark Sebastian Jordan for allowing us to look at his work!Free podcast/mp3 versions of videos: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vAdMbaunOPziRoovm0K5PAll the Poet Business Institute Workshops: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdlbw-VbM6bajbdt5u8jB7amlwt1_a8DqIf you are interested in poems, poetry, or spoken word, you'll enjoy hearing this Poet Business Institute workshop on poetry teaching, poetry instruction, and poetry pedagogy!
