    I'm delighted to see this, Anna - I'm thinking about podcasting and the voice thing... hmm.. would like some ideas there.

    Thanks, Terry! I look forward to seeing you again next week. Patricia, I am happy to talk to you about voice and podcasting. I have a great "how-to" brochure I bought at B&N that has all the details. I will try to bring it next Tuesday.

    Just an admin note - the address above:

    1215 Fourth Avenue

    ...was incorrect - a completely different building. A number of us arrived late after finding each other on the 3rd floor of 1215 4th Ave.

    Anna, thank you for a great seminar! I will be practicing "sucky breath" and "trampoline voice" in my home office even if the dog looks at me funny.

    Anna, I am sorry I missed it! I was scheduled to attend but I had something come up that was unavoidable. I look forward to a future event, and I may just call you directly as well to set an appt.

    Very useful tips, and I'd like to see a more advanced workshop for professional speakers.

    Anna, thanks for the workshop. I thought it was very useful, especially the "Three Ones".

    The workshop was great, Anna. I also specially enjoyed the 3-1's and the breathing tips as well. I practiced the breathing before a presentation today, and I had an easier time speaking! A workshop where participants get to speak for a minute or so and get instruction from you would be great. Thanks!
