I took a Public Speaking class after one humiliating experience, and it does really help. But I'd rather hire you to impersonate me; I have always been awed by your calm presence when introducing a panel or conducting a meeting. Wish it were contagious!BonnieShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12642142065722406733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628814011025215047.post-53776483606916971012009-10-23T18:16:17.769-07:002009-10-23T18:16:17.769-07:00Jackie V., I know what you mean about Eva Batonne ...Jackie V., I know what you mean about Eva Batonne doing such a great reading. All authors need to learn how to do that. How about a Burbank Library event where several authors put on a program to not only showcase their work, but do brief workshop as well?

You're right about ...Children can be so cruel.<br /><br />You're right about selling books through presentations. I bought Eva Batonne's book "Resurrection Diva" soley on her reading. She really knows how to use her voice. Of course, she's an actress, but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't learn how to do the same thing. Maybe Eva could teach a class. Eva??? Any other actresses out there???Jacqueline Vickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469110335564534731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628814011025215047.post-49267221919062335512009-10-23T12:40:59.887-07:002009-10-23T12:40:59.887-07:00These are the scariest things for most writers to ...These are the scariest things for most writers to do.
