Nancy Moran

"Booking Yourself at House Concerts, Coffeehouses, Writer's Nights and More!"

Whether you're a songwriter or an indie artist, one of the ways you need to expand your career and expose your music is to perform in front of live audiences!  In this class, Nancy will teach you how to find gigs appropriate to your style of music, who to contact, how to contact them, what to say, what to send, and generally how to handle your own bookings. We'll discuss press kits, epk's, being the opening act, free vs. paid gigs and much, much more. This is a nuts and bolts class. You'll know exactly what to do and where to start when you leave this class. Bring your best booking questions!

This is the first of three courses that I'll teach at this week-long event where songwriting and music business instructors from all over the US converge on Nashville. All of my classes are on Friday, September 24th, but there are over 120 classes offered between Sept 21-24. Attendees can take up to 16 different classes.

"Extreme Makeover: Performance Skills for Songwriters and Artists"

All week long you've been sitting in classes learning how to write a great song and the business behind getting it cut. Now, get up on your feet and wrap up your Songposium week with a unique experience: a performance makeover! Whether you're a songwriter or an indie artist, playing at writer's nights or concert halls, you need to know performance fundamentals like proper mic technique, adding dynamics, how to communicate emotions, and dealing with nervousness. In this class, we'll cover these topics and show you how the smallest change can make the biggest difference in your performance. But the best part is that you get to experience these changes and improvements for yourself! Nancy will be delivering LIVE performance makeovers to those who want one on a first-come, first-served basis. So, make sure you sign up EARLY! No previous performing experience is necessary. Beginners to professionals are welcome and ALL can benefit. Even if you watch the makeovers from your seat, you'll take away valuable information you can use at your very next performance.
