Reading Your Work Out Loud

Spend an evening learning about and practicing the art of public speaking. This in-person coaching session will give you the opportunity to bring your voice– and self– to the words you’ve written. You’ll learn how to become a more genuine, effective and fear-free communicator of your work, which will in turn fuel a more authentic writing process and outcome. You’ll leave the workshop with an experience of camaraderie, community, and a more deeply rooted sense of your creative and expressive self. Please have on hand a number of pieces you’d be comfortable sharing. It all starts with finding the funny in your life and turning it into material. Learn how to recognize a premise, extract the humor, and hone it into a stand-up act or funny story. We study comedians and styles and work on your unique voice in a fun and supportive class. This is for people who want to go out and try performing or just want to learn how to write with wit and humor. No preparation or experience necessary!
