Learn the techniques of this performance art: how to grab the listener by the lapels; how to create a mini-movie in the minds of thousands of listeners; how to NOT sound like you're reading from a script when, of course, you are!<br /><br />At least three students from last session's class have already had their essays aired on the radio!<br /><br />Janis Jaquith’s radio commentaries have been broadcast on NPR stations since1997. She has been a sporadic commentator for the PRI radio show "Marketplace," and NPR's "Day to Day." For six years, she was a columnist for The Daily Progress. Her VPA award-winning column now appears inCharlottesville’s newsweekly, The Hook.<br /><br />Registration info: http://writerhouse.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=794Janis Jaquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477087148032802960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-67790641200131149442012-04-19T13:40:29.944-04:002012-04-19T13:40:29.944-04:00Yes, you can deliver the message you want, Linda. ...Yes, you can deliver the message you want, Linda.
