A good
elocutionist must have a good memory. It is advisable to learn
the piece by heart than to read out from a page.
2.
Take Care with Topic
An elocutionist is a performer, so he
or she needs to have a sense of the occasion and choose a suitable
piece.
3.
Feel the Words
A poem falls flat unless the words are
uttered with feeling. For example, reciting 'Debotar Grash',
you must generate within yourself a feeling of sadness.
4.
Be Spontaneous
Though elocution needs practice, an artist
must be spontaneous enough on stage so that the performance
does not look rehearsed.
5.
Cultivative a Diction
Precise pronunciation and speed are very
important. Slurring or speaking in a rush kills elocution.
