[This is a workshop rather than a talk, so it will have interactive elements. Those elements will only be done on a strictly consensual basis, so you won't be called on to read aloud if you'd prefer to just listen and observe. However, joining in is strongly encouraged and if you're up for that, please come equipped with one of your favourite sexy pieces either saved on your phone or available via a link] Performing your work is not the same as reading your work. As writers we're used to seeing our words on the page, but adding tone, rhythm and performance adds a whole extra dimension. This workshop aims to give a grounding in how to perform your work to best show it off, what equipment you need to record it if you'd like to, and why these things are increasingly valuable in the erotic writing space. Intro will cover: - why performance/audio can enhance your work, make it more accessible and help to build your audience - where to sell your work (and how much to charge) if you want to make extra money by repurposing current stories as audio Then the bulk of the session will cover practical information including: - how to edit and adapt stories for performance rather than reading - equipment (recording and editing) - how to perform rather than simply read. Pace, tone, emphasis and some erotica-specific tips (for example, making the most of your 'cum-trigger' moments)
