Join us on Saturday 6th April for a Cafemnee workshop designed to help you take the steps you have been hesitant about and open your path for amazing new experiences in the music scene.
Our director, Millicent Stephenson, will unveil key strategies to get a gig: how to address people, manage phone calls, reply to enquiries and advertise what you do. Get a boost of confidence to be able to talk about your skills with conviction and make new contacts and music friends with ease; learn how to shake off negativity and insecurities to keep moving forward and let your passion shine through.
The exceptional vocal coach Louise Dengate will give a vocal workshop where she will talk you through vocal health, audition work, repertoire and much more.
