Reciting is the act of vocalizing a speech or prayer out loud. In the same way, this is how the series of verses or fragments of a text, previously memorized, that are said aloud is called. It is common for all kinds of texts to be recited; from books to writings of the strictest scientific rigor. However, it is much more common for the term to be related to the declamation of a poetic work, since it is one in which the reciter adds a series of ornaments to his attitude and voice, to enhance the beauty of the verses he releases.
In general, when you proceed to recite any text, your attitude and posture during the speech will depend on the context. In some dynamics it is required that the person who directs the act (called "speaker") is standing, so that he is able to move around the stage or platform on which he is, which allows him to empathize much better with the public; in others, they may be seated, explaining the points that correspond to them. Furthermore, the type of text you will recite also becomes important; however, reciting a certain text will always require a small dose of theatricality.
It is important to mention that, due to the similarity of concept, it is easy to confuse the recite with the quote, even if the latter is just a phrase taken from a book. When reciting a poem, it is important that the speaker takes care of the aesthetics of his presentation: from the nuances of his voice, to the various gestures they perform. These elements are capable of transmitting various emotions to the public, in addition to providing the correct atmosphere that the fragment requires.
