PRESENCE AND CONFIDENCE FOR SINGERS
Does the voice of your ‘Inner Critic’ sometimes stop you enjoying singing? Do you feel mental or emotional blocks that restrict your vocal freedom?
Get fearless and shake them loose in a special session with Corinne Micallef, a communication coach and theatre director whose warm and energetic presence will open up more of your voice and personal expression.
THE VENUE
The workshop will take place in the tipi at the Spire and Spoke in Watlington, a pretty event space surrounded by nature. The excellent team at the Spire and Spoke will provide a tasty lunch from the pub’s woodfired pizza menu, plus salads and cake.
