The first step in the recitation is to select materials. Good material selection can fully display the vocal characteristics of the reciter and convey the thoughts and emotions to be expressed in the work, so that the audience can more easily resonate.
Today, according to the selection problems of the contestants in the previous recitation display activities, Xiaobian summarized the following 3 material selection misunderstandings, hoping to help you in the selection of materials during the recitation display.
First, the selection of materials is too large and difficult.
In fact, the problem of large and difficult material selection, we have mentioned this problem in many live classes, and the main teacher has mentioned this problem.
Some children, especially children in the lower grades, when selecting materials, or parents and teachers in helping children choose materials, blindly pursue the so-called tall and famous works, as if it feels that such works are easy to get high scores.
Some parents said that their children just like this "big" work, and they feel that their children recite it very well!
For example, "Qinyuan Spring Snow", "Manjiang Hong", "Will Enter the Wine", the children are also very imposing when they recite, the voice is also loud, and the adults are very happy to watch from the side.
But is that a good recitation?
Children are not encouraged to choose large and difficult works because the children are still young and cannot control or understand the artistic conception of the article for the time being; including the child's current language appearance, the use of breath, and the grasp of skills are not enough to show this work well.
When you choose a big work, you can't say that you use a small expression to express it.
If you have to choose such a work, then you have to put a lot of effort behind your back to help you better recite the work. But very few children can do it.
Second, the tone of the selection of materials is sad.
The children and adolescents we often talk about should be positive, vibrant, and most of them grow up in a happy environment.
Therefore, in the process of recitation, they should choose some works that conform to the characteristics of the times and are closer to life.
Such works are relatively easy for children to control.
However, in the recitation display activities, we can see that many children will choose some more "sad" works, which are heart-rending cries at the beginning, or there are such parts of the work that need to explode.
Many children or parents feel that such works are more interesting, but they ignore whether such expressions can arouse the empathy of the audience.
Many children deal with this part of the process is "dry shouting", as if as long as the voice is loud enough, it is sad enough.
In fact, this is not the case, because his "sadness" is all acted out, and the audience cannot feel the emotions conveyed by the work from inside.
Third, the selection of materials is bloody.
We often say that a good recitation is to make people feel comfortable, and this comfort has a lot to do with the content of the work in addition to the expression of the reader's true feelings.
I would like to ask: If there are many violent and bloody descriptions in a work, even if the presentation is good, as a listener, will you still feel uncomfortable?
For example: "The Last Tibetan Antelope."
This work is an environmentally friendly theme, through the confession of a Tibetan antelope, calling on people to protect the ecological environment. The whole text is sincere and sobering.
The article is particularly good, but for children, it is still not appropriate to choose this manuscript to recite, especially in the recitation display activities of young children.
Why not? A clip was selected so that everyone could feel it for themselves.
"I vividly remember that in that summer, in the north of our childbirth, mankind had already prepared a shotgun, turning the holy land of childbirth into a bloody slaughterhouse, and the corpses of my companions were hundreds, hundreds of them kneeling on the ground, and their skins were all stripped naked, and some were even stripped alive."
—— Excerpt from "The Last Tibetan Antelope"
Recitation is to convey the truth, goodness and beauty, especially in the recitation display activities of young children, whether it is the judges or the audience, they hope to see young children show a positive, confident and generous spirit by saying what is suitable for them.
