SUMMARY:From Page To Voice
DESCRIPTION:Do you love writing but get nervous when asked to read your work? \nWhen it’s time to read your writing aloud – at an open mic\, a book launch\, or as part of a reading series – do you feel completely unprepared? Are you\, like so many people\, not at your best when in front of a live audience? \nSuccessful writers are successful readers – and that means having a toolbox of public speaking skills that you can tap into. \nThis is a fun and interactive experiential learning opportunity. You’ll practice with your voice\, your audience engagement\, and your stage presence. Your words will be transformed! \nWhether you’ve never read your work aloud or you’ve done it a dozen times and still feel like something’s off\, this workshop meets you where you are. \nWhat you’ll walk away with A concrete set of tools for reading your own work with confidence\, clarity\, and intention — so the next time you step up to a microphone\, your writing sounds as good out loud as it does on the page. \nWhat to bring An excerpt from any work in progress — any genre\, any stage. We’ll use it. \n\n\n\n\nMidori Evans is a seasoned Toastmaster with more than thirty years of public speaking experience. She is the founder of Write With Community\, Inc. and published and contributed to the books in the South Coast anthology series with the Westport Writers Group. Her creative approach to learning is engaging\, unique\, and thoroughly enjoyable.
