Whether you tell a story or express your feelings, there are tools and models to help you do it clearly and strongly in order to achieve the desired effect on your audience.
Each day, we will look at a different genre and its rules, will do practical exercises and write samples, and discuss them in the group. At the end of the academy, we will perform our work for the best of all audiences, our parents.
Dive into a course that will help you find your own voice and teach you how to make it heard.
