This course is dedicated to the dynamics of delivering a confident and engaging performance.
This course covers everything you need to elevate your performance – whether delivered at bookshops, schools, libraries or festivals, to a handful of fans or a jam-packed auditorium.
During the workshop, authors will deliver a pre-prepared talk and reading, as if presenting to an audience of their target readers. Individual feedback and support will be provided to address confidence issues, stage craft and vocal skills.
The key components of this course are:
Understanding the relationship that you have with your audience
Being able to prepare, project and protect your voice
Knowing how to confidently own the stage from the get-go
Mastering the key elements of stage craft – including microphone skills
Understanding when and how to adapt your performance for different audiences

GROUP TRAINING
This offers focused training on a key topic over a full day. It’s a terrific way to demonstrate author care, showing your authors strong, practical support from their publisher. And it provides an opportunity for your authors to share their experiences and to learn from each other as well as from the trainers.
1:2:1 COACHING
Individual coaching sessions are tailored to match the needs of a particular author and are perfect for when you need fast response training. Focusing on one author allows our trainers to provide lots of targeted help. We will marry up the industry expertise of our trainers with the specific needs of your authors to ensure that they get the most out of the session.
