Discover the art of public speaking with actress, playwright, and AWGIE-nominated radio dramatist, Donna M. Cameron, as she shares insights gained from her journey as a novelist. Join us in person on July 6th at 2:40 pm for a workshop focused on “Mastering the Art of Public Speaking: Voice Control and Overcoming Nerves.”

Effective public speaking entails more than just volume; it requires mastery of voice modulation and articulation, along with the ability to manage stage fright. Gain confidence and poise as you explore the intricacies of public speaking, a skill set that transcends mere vocal projection.

This workshop will equip you with techniques to mitigate nervousness and enhance your delivery. Through practical exercises, we’ll delve into the nuances of voice control and articulation, emphasising the importance of thorough preparation. By embracing authenticity and confidence, you’ll learn to craft your message in a way that captivates audiences long after you’ve left the podium.

Join us for an enriching session tailored for authors and anyone seeking to refine their public speaking skills.

Visit CYAConference.com to learn more and reserve your spot.

Donna’s debut, Beneath the Mother Tree (2018, MidnightSun) was listed as a top Australian fiction read in The Advertiser’s 2018 yearly round-up and was selected for the 2019 QWC/Screen QLD’s Adaptable program.

Donna’s agent, Fiona Johnson from Beyond Words Literary Agency, and Anna Solding from MidnightSun Publishing will be doing assessments at this year’s conference. You can book a session with her at www.CYAConference.com/assessments
