Telling your stories onstage can be daunting. The lights, the audience, the sound system, the expectations, the fear – these can all lead to an uncomfortable situation where it’s hard to be “you” and tell your stories. This workshop will focus on all aspects of storytelling in front of an audience with ease and comfort, with tips on setting yourself up for success.

Grammy-nominated musician and storyteller Josh Goforth found his comfort level on stage at the tender age of four. He tours worldwide and has performed at the Grand Ole Opry, the Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall. Josh is on the faculty at the Academy for the Arts in Asheville, North Carolina.
