No commentsLearn Stage Presence & Mic Techniques in this “Own the Room” Workshop on Monday, August 6th.
Knowing how to walk on and off stage, stand, introduce yourself and bow are essential to a professional performance. This workshop is fun, safe and easy. Come with the ability to introduce yourself. Leave with the simple, practical skills to blow the room away the next time you present yourself in front of ANY audience from 1-1,000. This is not a singing or speech workshop, rather a singer, performer, or speaker’s bag of tricks for poise, presence and power. Gain confidence and poise in front of a group. Please register for this workshop. Location is the Grafton Municipal Center, Room D.
The Teen workshop meets from 3:30-5:00 pm. TEEN Registration
The Adult workshop meets from 6:00-7:30 pm. ADULT Registration
