    Speech choirs are performance groups that recite speeches in unison. They emerged in the early 20th century from choral gatherings and youth movements in Germany. There are two main types - traditional choirs that simply recite words, and dynamic choirs that incorporate props, costumes, and choreography. Key elements of speech choirs include members/voices, pieces/texts, pitch, power, voice quality, phrasing, rhythm, tempo, and staging. Success requires connecting as a group, proper breathing, and clear articulation.
