How to Use Drama as a Tool to Give Dynamic Readings Anywhere
Naked at the Podium: The Writer's Guide to Successful Readings
Authors are everywhere these days, pitching their books in bookstores, yes, but also at libraries and lecture series, in chat rooms and websites, on local and public radio, on every television interview show from local access cable to "Oprah". As a result of this greater exposure, audiences are expecting a greater level of performance. They want you to make a presentation. You can't just stand up there and read. They want you to bring something extra to the event, some extra information, or connection. They want you to be comfortable, and fluent. You have to engage your audience. This book is the first that combines the experiences and skills of a stage, film and television actor, radio personality and acting coach with those of a published author with more than a decade of experience organizing writers conferences. The information gathered has been enriched with impressions gathered from bookstore owners, librarians, writers, publicists and publishers.Advertisments
