This is the first gathering of the Exploring the Power of Voice meetup group. To learn more and to join the group, visit the group at Meetup.com.

Our events will cover a wide range of topics related to singing, speaking, personal power, and healing. Each gathering will include a variety of activities, such as demonstrations, sing-alongs, improv games, and individual and group exercises in an environment free of judgment or criticism.

We’ve prepared a plan for the first gathering that will include all (or most) of these activities:

• An energy-raising group sing-along
• An exercise to explore “How am I feeling in this group tonight?”
• Introductions focusing on memories about singing or speaking in public
• A talk by Tony about tonight’s primary topic: “What’s scary about singing or speaking before an audience?”
• A demonstration of the Living Your Voice empowerment process with volunteers from the group
• A sung improv game
• A closing group sing-along

This is our first gathering, so we may adjust the plan depending on the size of the group, the space, everyone’s energy level, and other factors. This is an exploration for all of us, so come and join the adventure. And remember, we want you to have all the fun you possibly can!

Suggested donation: $5. You may use our Contribute page on Meetup.com or contribute by cash or check at the event. We welcome your donation, but it’s not a requirement for participation in our gathering.
