Remember these points to become a great Spoken Word Artist

Spoken Word is meant to be read aloud in public. You may be familiar with stories, poems, monologues, slam poetry, rap, and even stand-up comedy as forms of the spoken word. When creating a spoken word work, select words and phrases that project vivid images, sounds, movements, and other experiences into the brains of the audiences. Your audience will see, smell, feel, and maybe even taste what you’re telling them if your poetry, story or performance is rich in imagery. Remember it again a spoken word artist creates words to be read aloud. Spoken Word Poetry is poetry created for performance that expresses ideas, experiences, or emotions via the creative arrangement of words based on their sound, rhythm, and meaning. A spoken Word story is a story that the performer brings to the audience in the story that he/she lives that story, so the audience will also feel the same as the performer.

Theme/Topic should be relatable so the audience will connect easily and understand. Most probably try to choose the current scenario so everyone connects so if they connect with your performance they praise you.
