Just Write Porto, in collaboration with Espaço Agra, are delighted to host a series of Writer’s Conversations in which our members share their expertise. The second of these is: Using your (spoken) voice, led by Maria Carbunaru.

This writer’s conversation is all about speaking. Not the ‘writer’s voice’ that we embed in our writing, but the voice we use to talk about our writing.

As writers, we are often called on to speak about our work – whether to promote our work, read a passage, perform a poem, or to record an audiobook.

This workshop, led by Maria Carbunaru, contains exercises from Spolin improvisation theatre methodology that prepare the body, voice and intuition to give voice and life to your thoughts.

You will experiment with a series of warm-ups that train your feet as well as your chest, and that you can do by yourself in a period as short as 2 minutes before starting a reading to a live audience or before a recording session. Bring 5 lines from one of your notebooks and let´s play!

Free entrance.
