Back-to-school, but not all 3 Rs: Readin’, Ritin’ and ‘Rithmetic
Since her studies with the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, June Keene, has maintained a deep respect for the affinity between the written and spoken word. In her workshops she asserts they are not disparate disciplines but as indivisible as two sides of a coin.
At the September meeting June will present “Simple Speech and Presentation Skills”. The special emphasis for writers will be : (1)tips for podium preparation; (2)utilizing punctuation for smooth, expressive phrasing; (3)how to measure the audience for effective voice projection.
Bring your pen and pad.
