Class Performance Techniques  with Karl W. Davis

Wednesdays 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
The class performance workshop is designed to build self confidence in a performance setting. These techniques help to lower the anxiety level associated with addressing an audience and will bring about a more natural and realistic self image. For vocalists, musicians and those who aspire to be more effective public speakers it is essential to minimize the projected thoughts of the onlooker and to maximize the individuality of the performance. As a singer and bandleader Karl has perfected these relaxation and focus techniques on stages all over the world in a career spanning 25 years.
