Empower Your Voice for Women workshop
Women, how would you like to feel confident when you speak? Learn to develop your vocal power, expressiveness and clarity, self-confidence, breathing, and physical presence with playful games. Project your voice without straining, express your emotions and make clearer requests. The ability to speak up for yourself and others is one of the most important life skills women and girls can gain. Karen has taught Empower Your Voice for Women at West Bank School of Music and her independent studio in Minneapolis, MN.
