Tripping the Mic Fantastic with Barbara Rosenblat at NATF

USA (SANEPR.com) May 13, 2008 -- The National Audio Theatre Festivals, Inc. (NATF) expands their 27th Annual Audio Theater Workshop with Tripping The Mic Fantastic, a two day masterclass with Barbara Rosenblat.

Returning to West Plains, MO for the seventh consecutive year, the June 22-27 workshop promises to be a unique week of audio arts training and hands-on participation dedicated to all areas of audio production. Beginners to experts of all ages are welcomed for a week of learning, networking, and sharing.

About the masterclass:
In Tripping The Mic Fantastic, participants will explore the "amplified voice" versus the "non-amplified voice" as it relates to oral interpretation of prose or poetry. Participants will bring short pieces of their choosing to work on before the entire class. The finer points of mic technique and studio work will be covered. The second day of the masterclass will involve review and comparison to the points covered on the first day with re-records and critiques of material.
