Songsalive! workshop Sunday

SONGSALIVE! LOS ANGELES SONG CRITIQUE WORKSHOP WITH GUEST SPEAKER ELISABETH HOWARD

A special Songwriting Craft and Critique Workshop followed by a Guest Speaker for SINGERS and Songwriters WHO SING (or would like to SING)

Song critique session first half, followed by Guest Speaker: ELISABETH HOWARD - TOPIC: "Sing with Vocal Power for Singer/Songwriters" See bio below.

Songsalive! holds workshops where songwriters gather to share their songs, gain feedback and develop relationships within the songwriting communities we have created around the world. The first half is solely dedicated to an in-the-round workshop where writers present one song each - either on tape, CD or live followed by a guest speaker/ industry discussion in the second half and plenty of time to talk and network.

Moderated by Paul Lawrence Moyer.

NEW RULES FOR SONG CRITIQUES AT OUR WORKSHOPS

1. Must be on time - 15 minutes after the start time is too late to be considered for a song critique.

2. Current financial members get priority. Non-members can present once all members who want to present have been accounted for.

3. First timers can sit, watch, listen and give critique, but not present a song.

4. Non-members pay only $5 to come; free to members (keep your membership current by logging into your profile at www.songsalive.org)

5. We are no longer doing first come first serve, but rather pulling numbers out of a hat. This will keep it fair. However, you need to arrive early/on time to be considered to present a song.

6. Read the workshop rules at www.songsalive.org/workshops and download a PDF flyer on how to give and receive critique.

7. Come prepared! 1 song either on tape, CD or live (bring own guitar or keyboard for an unplugged performance) and up to 20 copies of your typed lyric sheet with contact details clearly displayed.

8. Come with writing paper and a pen.
