The Flatiron Writers Room
5 Covington Street, Asheville

Actor, author and voice coach Mel Ryane returns to the Flatiron Writers Room May 5th with her popular workshop Page to Podium: Reading Your Work Aloud. This day-long class, with individualized coaching, is designed to help writers share their work to an audience of one or one hundred. You will leave the workshop a better public reader, and learn to use reading aloud as a way to self-edit.

A classically-trained actor, Mel gives writers tools used by professional actors to deliver confident and clear readings–no acting experience required.

The workshop includes:

*one-on-one coaching

*vocal warm-up

*scanning text

*addressing the butterflies

Writers leave Mel’s workshop exhilarated with fresh knowledge of what they’ve written, with editorial ideas, a sense of ownership, and the confidence of having faced fear and triumphed.
