Your Voice is Doing a Lot of Talking! How You Say Things Really Matters
What is it about great speakers like Reps. AOC and Jasmine Crockett? It’s NOT the great speech writing; It’s the WAY that they speak that draws you in. This year at Neetroots Nation in New Orleans, this training session goes beyond your words or content to use your voice to best communicate your ideas.
It’s clear that some of our most prominent progressive communicators are just not great at communicating. The reason that can be hard to pin down is because it’s not just the choice of words that’s lacking. We submit it’s how they use their voices! It’s a scientific fact that our vocal cues tell the audience even more than just the words themselves. If you had Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Jasmine Crockett on a stage together, who are you more likely to remember, who’s going to make you actually feel something? The emotion you feel from one, but not the other, is in the delivery. And that is something progressive communicators can learn from Convey at Netroots Nation.
Join us Thursday, August 7, at 1pm, and learn techniques and skills for using your voice, and ways to take good care of your instrument.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Netroots Nation is coming to New Orleans in August this year! It’s the largest annual conference of progressives in the country, and this will be its 20th year! The conference never disappoints. There’s fun, passion, connections, growth. Sometimes there’s protests, organized and disorganized (heck, sometimes we’re our own targets). There’s always progressive rockstars and rising stars at the keynotes, and just wandering the hallways with you. Oh, and the happy hours and after hours are not to be missed.
We do have a place and a time where we can regularly gather, coordinate, and innovate. More than anything it’s a place where we build power and build community. Building power as progressives is something we need as a movement. And being in community with fellow activists and politicos is something that we all need right now.
Come join us and the progressive fam at Netroots Nation in New Orleans.
