    - divide the group into two


    Tw o - P a r t sectors, depends upon your
    group on how you're going to
    A r r a n g e m e n t divide it; two consecutive
    stanzas will be delivered
    alternately by each sector
    - to be delivered alternately
    Alternate in a stanza by 2 pairs
    L i n e s e.g: 1st stanza; 1st-3rd line- for 1st pair (to be
    delivered together) ; 1st stanza; 4th&5th line-
    for 2nd pair (to be delivered together)

    - the soloist delivers the lines


    Soloist & in a stanza to be followed by

    Ponder on this:
    1. Breathe – do this properly so you won’t easily change your
    pitch, and be able to maintain proper phrasing and rhythm
    2. Enunciate words clearly – Articulation and Diction
    3. Connect with the group - The choir is your family

    Let the audience SEE


    what you are SAYING
    Ponder on this:
    A Speech Choir performance may be a tedious activity, but it will be helpful
    to you in various ways:
     build/maintain rapport with your groupmates despite of distance learning
     appreciate meaningful context to be used in this trying times
     practice your speaking skills in the safety of your own homes

    The future doesn’t wait, so why


    should you?
    GO hone your skills 
