Festival Workshop: Freestyle Rap + Beatboxing! w/ Vinny Valdivia
Event Information
Description
Learn the fundamentals of freestyle rapping on your own and in the context of a scene. When words can communicate the emotion of a character there are always other ways to convey the way you feel. Rhythm and rhyming is just one of those ways. Students will also learn the basics of beatboxing. A few simple sounds can go a long way.
No experience necessary!
