Emcee Coaching Workshop with Sheila Arnold!

Particularly in these times of Zoom storytelling gatherings, it has been wonderful to see and hear storytellers from around the world.

Introducing those tellers is a skill in and of itself. Master storyteller Sheila Arnold, who also hosts many such gatherings each month, has offered to help us become better Emcees.

Join us on January 9, 2021 at 1 PM Pacific time for a 1-1/2- hour workshop sponsored by SAC (Storytelling Association of California).

Participants will be practicing Emcee skills with each other. In order to complete one of the activities, send your 150-word biography to Sheila by January 2 at sheilaarnold39@aol.com. See below for an example of what the bio should contain.

Note: if you are interested in emceeing a SAC event, preference will be given to those who attend this workshop.
