Conducting Meterless Chant in Orthodox Choirs

[All4Christ]

Any suggestions or tips for how to conduct meterless chant? Especially Kievan or Obikhod chanting? I’m learning how to direct as a backup, but I’m struggling to conduct without meters in the music.

Tips from other churches that have meterless chant (like the Gregorian chant) are also welcomed

I'm very careful with my iambic pentameter as I chant

I’d love to...unfortunately, I don’t know how I’d get to talk to him when visiting!

We are planning to visit sometime soon for the icon of St Anna.
