I never heard Fr Sophrony officiate at the liturgy, but those priests who do so now at the monastery certainly do not read the epiclesis loudly or with any great emotion and drama. There is, rather, a mystical hush as the prayers are read in a normal voice just within the hearing of the congregation.
