Without the Mic…

Saturday, 26 September at the Welcome Room,
Old Government House with NEW Writers Group Inc

Bring a short piece or two of your writing and practice reading it aloud to a friendly audience. We will have coffee/tea/biscuits in the break. 

Recently we had a small issue with a mic and noticed how some people could project their voice. One of them said, “I was always too shy, then I found my volume!” 
But people with a strong voice can also learn from a soft and expressive speaker. 

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF TIME
We meet from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.

Re purchasing copies of our latest ZineWest edition. If you are attending this gathering it will be cheaper for you to buy one direct instead of ordering online.
First Contributor’s copy $10. Regular price $15.

Entry $5 to help our basic costs eg insurance.
Free for first time attendees and financial members.

DIALOGUE:Saturday, 25th June, Carol Amos will lead us in a discussion and exercise on how we manage dialogue. If you want to read your work to the group, and attended our 11th June sessions, try to put into practice what Narelle Adams taught us!. Our work will differ, so will our style of delivery, but the basics of remembering our audience and reaching the back row, of phrasing and pace, the different tones of a narrator and a character, can all be used in our individual ways.@FutureCampus, 211 Church Street Parramatta, 3-5pm.
