Question:

Ever done a poetry reading? Any advice?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I've done a lot of poetry recitals and I've found that people do listen to the words but they seem to take a lot of notice of the way you act out the piece of poetry. If you practice in front of a mirror and just say the words in you head and try to describe the feelings with facial expressions and gestures or body movements you will see how important these things are to the overall performance. Better to overdo it than appear stiff or unfeeling.
