Especially for Woman’s Day, she tells what discipline is “stage speech” and to whom it is useful.Photo:Getty imagesMany parents ask themselves these questions. In fact, even if your child is involved in sports and not creative activities, this does not mean that he does not need to develop communication skills. Stage speech is a set of exercises aimed at achieving clear, sonorous speech. Exercises develop the child's articulation, improving his skills of beautiful and competent communication. But the most important thing is that when training the articulatory apparatus, our thinking activity at the reflex level begins to work more actively. Thus, "stage speech" lessons develop not only diction, but also the speed of thought. I equally distribute the load on the musical part, dance, acting and, of course, stage speech. Making a star out of a child who will sing and dance great is the wrong message. My task as the head of the creative center is to give children that vital base of professional skills that they will subsequently be able to use in absolutely any profession.Photo:Getty imagesMany graduates of "Fidgets" subsequently took, as they say, their place in the sky, but I never told anyone: "When you finish our school, you will definitely become a famous artist." No! Moreover, I have always emphasized that we do not prepare pop stars. All that we teach a child from 4 to 14 years old is to control the attention of the audience. It is important for us that a person can look into the eyes of the audience, no matter how many there are, so that he can convey his thoughts to the viewer in song, dance, or conversation, but he must be able to make them listen to him. Such people will be successful anywhere. In any, absolutely any profession, this will give a hundred points ahead. Should a plant director be able to make people listen to him and follow him? He should! Should a university lecturer be able to hold the attention of an audience? Absolutely! Even in a line at a store, it is sometimes useful to be able to draw attention to yourself.Photo:Getty imagesFeeling the energy of the viewer or just the interlocutor, giving your own is an invaluable skill. In Ancient Greece, for example, the ability to speak was a cult, and for us today the ability to speak is extremely important, because we live in the age of information and communication.My task is to give the child the necessary skill base, to liberate him as much as possible, to instill in him a sense of confidence. And here a big role is played by how the child speaks, how well his reaction to thought is developed, how well he holds the attention of the interlocutor or the concert audience.I am always all for it when children try something else, besides singing and dancing. Many are good at acting, after all, we also pay attention to it in the learning process. It is not for nothing that many graduates of "Fidgets" starred in "Yeralash", and in the film "Holiday of Disobedience", and in others.Photo:Getty imagesIn general, my advice to you is - during the period of personality formation, let the child develop comprehensively. The art of eloquence is the foundation of foundations, which will serve as a good basis for any activity.
