GAB Fest Workshop — Bring Your Writing to Life: Performance for Authors
Bring Your Writing to Life: Performance for Authors
For writers who get nervous reading in front of an audience or secretly long to shine in front of a mic— I’m be teaming up with Austin Poet Laureate Zell Miller III and award-winning audiobook narrator Marcus Barton to bring you the tips and tricks you need to bring your writing to life and to offer guidance for those curious about audiobook narration.
This workshop will include discussion, Q & A, practical suggestions for powerful performances, live demonstrations, and the opportunity for volunteers to practice at the mic and receive supportive, actionable feedback.
Featuring:
Zell Miller III
Hollie Hardy
Marcus Barton
