"Choral speech" doesn't refer to the singing style of a choir. Instead, it's a speech technique used in theatre and performance. Here's how it works:
* Multiple speakers recite lines or phrases in unison, creating a powerful and unified effect.
* Emphasis on rhythm and timing is important to create a sense of cohesion and impact.
* Can be used for various purposes:
* To express collective emotions or beliefs (like anger, joy, or grief)
* To emphasize certain ideas or themes
* To create a sense of dramatic urgency or suspense
Think of a scene in a movie where a group of people chant slogans or share a common cry. That's a good example of choral speech.
So, while "choral speech" and "choir" share the word "choral," they refer to different things.
