SYNOPSIS
Join industry powerhouse Donna Jay Fulks for a dynamic workshop that will demonstrate the power of bringing yourself to every commercial read. Working with a piece of identical generic commercial copy, multiple readers will be challenged to make specific choices, interpret different sets of directions and use subtext and their unique perspective to make the words jump off the page.
Readers will be sent copy and asked to submit an MP3 a few days prior to class. A limited number of reader slots are available and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once the reader slots are marked “full” the waitlist will open. If you wish to audit (listen and watch only, without the opportunity to read) add your name to the waitlist. All individuals on the waitlist will be considered auditors. If you do not wish to attend the class as an auditor, please refrain from adding your name to the waitlist.
