Poets are masters of language who delight in the sense and the music of language. When reading poetry, always be aware of how it can be read aloud. An oral interpretation is a speaker’s interpretation of the sense and sound of the language of poetry. 1. Enunciation Like pronunciation, it relates to how words are spoken. To enunciate is to pronounce words so they can be easily understood by an audience. Enunciation should be clear, correct, and effective throughout the reading. 2. Pitch Pitch is the highness or lowness of a speaker’s voice. A variety of highs and lows enhances the listener’s understanding of the passage. 3. Volume Volume is the loudness of a speaker’s voice. A variety in volume (loud and soft) enhances the listener’s understanding of the passage. 4. Tempo and Phrasing Tempo is the speed at which a speaker delivers words. Appropriate pacing (faster and slower ) enhances the listener’s understanding of the passage. Phrasing is pausing at appropriate points for emphasis. Pausing (…) and emphasis enhances the listener’s understanding of the passage. 5. Inflection Inflection is the emphasis a speaker places on words through change in volume and/or pitch. “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Day” As we listen to the following poem by Robert Frost, pay close attention to the dramatic elements of this oral interpretation. Where do you hear the different elements? Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nie5dGD6OQA Monologue Humor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B71n7TdBOXg
