Speech Choir
Unlike Readers Theater (which is meant to be read), "Choral Speaking" requires a
group of students to orally interpret and recite from memory. Choral Speaking enables
groups to present oral presentations of poems and other texts. Talk about conveying
meaning by:
 emphasizing particular lines/phrases/words,
 Using a range of voices, eg. one or two voices,
 assigning different sections to different speakers,
 varying pace, voices, volume,
 including possible gestures or actions
To be able to present a good speech choir, keep in mind the following:
1. A good number for speech choir is 20-25 members equally participated by each
track.
2. The contest piece is IF by Rudyard Kipling.
3. Divide your participants into several voices depending on the piece
4. Arrange the contest piece before giving it to your participants. This means that you
have already assigned parts for each voice, for the solo and for the unison (meaning
all three voices). Keep in mind though that even if all three voices speak together
but their voices should be clearly distinct from each other. This is called blending.
5. Memorize the piece. If you are the conductor(student), the more you should
memorize it. Before giving the contest piece to your participants, see to it that you
have double-checked its pronunciation.
6. Drill into your participants to feel the piece. Their facial expression should reflect
what they are speaking. Facial expressions can’t be taught. It should come from
within. It should not look artificial but should come from their hearts.
7. Deliver with the intent to be understood; hence, for dramatic speech choir, actions
and props are necessary. The voice and the facial expression counts also.
Remember the audience should understand what you are talking about.
8. The conductor may stand at the back of the judges. He may conduct in any manner
he wants as long as he is able to guide his participants for an effective speech choir
presentation.

Readers Theater
Readers Theater is a dramatic presentation of a written work in a script form.
Readers read from a "script" and reading parts are divided among the readers. No
memorization, costumes, blocking, or special lighting is needed. Scripts are held by the
readers. Lines are not memorized. The focus is on reading the text with expressive voices
and gestures.
Reader's theater is often defined by what it is not -- no memorizing, no props, no
costumes, no sets. All this makes reader's theater wonderfully convenient. Still,
convenience is not its chief asset.
Like storytelling, reader's theater can create images by suggestion that could never
be realistically portrayed on stage. Space and time can be shrunk or stretched, fantastic
worlds can be created, and marvelous journeys can be enacted. Reader's theater frees the
performers and the audience from the physical limitations of conventional theater, letting
the imagination soars.
Reader’s Theater is "theatre of the imagination". Reader’s Theater "succeeds in
giving the same suggestive push to the imaginations in the audience that the act of silent
reading gives to the imagination of the perceptive silent reader” Everyone needs to talk -
to hear and to play with language, to exercise the mind and emotions and tongue together.
Out of this spirited speech can come meaningful, flavorful language, worth the time and
effort of phrasing, rehearsing, and reading aloud? "
