During this panel several people will learn how to read a script out loud. Emphasizing on inflections and how to come across as an actor speaking speaking lines instead of reading off of a script directly.

She has taught some very famous people in the industry drama- this is your chance to learn from one of the experts!

Join us as we take a look at some of the madness that is the internet. Panel includes video clips that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Notes:

The internet can be a dumpster fire for conversation about anything, geek stuff included. Can it be better? Can we create communities where we share more freely about the hobbies we love, with minimal flame? As a practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who does individual and family counseling, I would like to discuss and analyze patterns of conversation that make things worse than they need to be. I intend this panel to be useful both for individuals wanting to converse more freely on the internet, as well as forum moderators who want to build their own healthier communities.
