Artists’ Retreat Extension – Doug Anderson will expand upon his recent popular Artists’ Retreat presentation. Artists who want to be effective at communicating the gospel message must go beyond picking the right songs, and putting them in an appropriate sequence. This seminar will delve into methods the artist can use to set up a song to make it more effective in communicating a song’s spiritual content and to increase the effectiveness of the total performance. Doug will share from his experience what works and just as importantly, what doesn’t work. Stage Presence – People hear what they see!– The audience is affected as much or more by the visual aspects of your performance as they are by the vocal aspects. Issues addressed will include stage fright, how to develop positive audience rapport, matching energy levels, the importance of facial expressions, visual focal points, movement and gesture, singing attire, and more.
