What the class includes:
What you say when you don’t have a script is equally as important as when you do. The ability to speak clearly and concisely to casting directors, agents, large groups, and during interviews, makes and leaves a lasting impression about who you are what it would be like to work with you. In this 4-week series, John Watkis will help you build your foundation for public speaking so that what you say and how you say it leave a positive impression and increase your know/like/trust factor.
What We Will Cover:
- Learn how to craft stories that make people lean in and listen on the edge of their seats
- Sort out what content to put in, leave out, and how to organize so that it’s easy to follow and remember
- Radiate stage presence through non verbal communication
