Leadership of public recitation of rosary. .

[kaygee]

What style do you prefer when leading a public recitation of the Rosary?

Short stacatto, “just the facts” tone of voice?

Conversational tone and speed, with emotion (quiet, empathetic tone for sorrowful mysteries/ stronger, more joyful tone for the glorious, etc)?

Speedy monotone?

SSSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWW monotone.

Other?

I’ve heard many different styles, and don’t know if there is an one, correct, or preferred way.

This is edited because I was trying to post a poll, but failed . . .

I often get called upon since there apparently is no regular rosary guild or group with this responsibility in our parish. I prefer to keep my personality and emotion out of it, and recite in a neutral, clearly audible tone, but somewhat slower than is often done. If it is at the funeral home I use the form provided by the parish, with no “extras” but in other settings I sometimes introduce each mystery with the appropriate scripture reading especially in a catechetical setting.
